GREEN Drink


So I went home for the weekend, and my family has this fantastic blender called Vitamix. It will puree anything from whole oranges to screws and bolts. IT IS AMAZING! Well it costs about $600, so I probably wont be buying one anytime soon. While I was home we made tonz of different combinations of smoothies. We actually added spinach to some and I couldn't even taste it. I know you are thinking this sounds pretty sick, but even Dayne loves it. I make a virgin lime margarita, and it is a great combination. I use my regular blender, and it is still satisfying. Today I added a banana and it turned out pretty tasty. I can't think of a better way of getting my fruits and veggies in just one gulp. Well here's a few pics and the recipe if your interested.




GREEN Drink!
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 lime chopped
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
6-7 ice cubes
1 banana
3/4 cup spinach


Puree the apple juice with the lime and banana. Add the yogurt and spinach. Add the ice cubes and mix until smooth. Add a salt rim around the glass if you desire a more margarita taste. Makes 2 cups




This is him crying because he wants more.
gulp...gulp...gulp
Ahhhhh!

All gone and very satisfied!

MY Shirt

Okay so I finally finished my shirt from the Burda Website. Once I got started it only took me a few hours. I really like the black ruffled shirts so I gave it a go. I had a hard time making sure everything matched up, but it all worked out. If anyone is interested in making one I can give you some pointers. I'm going to make a shirtdress soon with this same pattern, but maybe without the ruffles. I already have the polka dot fabric, I just have to make it. Well here it is:
