My new reads...


I am reading this new series by Joanne Fluke and it's really fun...
It's about a girl named Hannah who is a self-proclaimed crime solving cookie baker...
it's light and refreshing but still suspenseful enough for me...
and...
there are recipes in each book from Hannah...
totally my kind of read...
and...
I heard there is like 15 books in the series...
Yay!

Grady is Goofy...

So Grady is so weird...
I have this new thing with the kids about getting hurt...
I am sick of hearing them bawl over stupid stuff...
so I told them that for every bruise or cut they get and they don't cry over...
I will give them a quarter...
a quarter for a goose egg sounds like a good deal to me...
and apparently to Grady...

He is such a goof!
He took one of those suctioning thingies and put it on his face for a self-made bruise all for a quarter...
Seriously!
and then he laughed his guts out when I told them what 'those' are called...
hickey is really quite a funny word to say...

try it...
hickey...
see...
told ya it was funny!

Strawberry Chicken Salad....

Okay...
So you HAVE to try this...
I'll admit, I was skeptical at first...
but I love salads and wanted to give it a try...
and it was FABULOUS!

You'll like it...
I promise...

Strawberry Chicken Salad:

Mix together in bowl:
2 bags shredded lettuce
1 cup sliced strawberries
6-8 chicken tenders, cooked and shredded
a small handful sliced almonds
a handful of real bacon bits

Top with your favorite poppy seed dressing and those amazing new tortilla strips you can buy by the salad dressing isle...by the real bacon bits.

So good!

The Green Machine...

So I have been reading a ton of blogs lately about the Green Smoothie...
and I was taken back by how many people swear by it...
so I thought to myself...
why not?
And guess what?
It's not bad and I sorta like it...
some say that soon my body will crave the greens in it and it will become essential for me to have it every day...
I usually have cereal for breakfast and then a green shake for lunch...
and it is super satisfying...
I do mine like this:

About 1 cup ice
About 1 cup milk
1/2 banana
1/4-1/2 cup blueberries
sugar or substiture (1 Tbsp)
2 cups fresh spinach leaves

Blend the ice and milk first until smooth.  Add the fruit and sugar and blend.  Then add the spinach and blend for quite awhile...like 3-5 minutes or until it's totally smooth and you won't have to eat it with a fork.  I divide this in half and drink one half and put the other either in the fridge or freezer for the next day.

For me this is totally cool cuz I HATE to fix lunch...
and this makes it so easy for me...

Don't knock it until you try it!
Apparently it's really good for you too...
