My Favorite Things II

First you are going to love me because you will try this smoothie mix and love it just as much as I do. Then, you are going to hate me because you find yourself having to clean your blender every morning in order to enjoy the smoothie...it's so worth it! All you need is this mix, a banana (best with those over ripe brown bananas you don't know what to do with anyway), some milk, and ice.

You can find it at your grocery store, usually next to the bananas.



The best recipes! Why are they the best? I'll tell you! They are simple, use every day ingredients, and I haven't found one I didn't like if not totally love (and I have made a lot of them). You can get the recipes at kraftfoods.com or you can also sign up for the FREE magazine, which I suggest doing.

Just try the BBQ Mini Meat Loaves!

My Favorite Things I

I've decided to devote a blog every now and then to some of my favorite things. The little things in life that just make it easier and help me to smile a bit more. So, besides brown paper packages tied up with strings...here are a few more of my favorite things.

First let me apologize for the ugly toes (I'm not as blessed as Beth) I only did it to show how much I love my Crocs!! See the tan line? And it's not even summer yet. I wear them every place I can. I truly believe it was the only way I could get around Disneyland all day and not have sore feet the next! Plus, Mary-Jane style is so much cuter than the original style but every bit as comfortable!

Next is my water jug. It holds the daily recommended amount of water. I fill it up every morning, then just make sure it's empty before I go to bed. And if I am out and have a bottle of water some where else, I will save that empty bottle until I get home, and fill it up using my water-jug water so I am sure to count it. Get it? I love it and it has really worked in my struggle to drink more water!

And finally I love this measuring cup. No longer are the days of bending over to look at the side measurements. Can you see the white oval on the inside? It allows you to see how much liquid you have in an upright position. Ingenious!
