Рецепт Baking and Buddies
I did not work out today (I told you I can’t take a day off, 1 has turned into 4, eek!) but I did manage to do a ton of creating. I feel like I’ve spent the whole day mixing and stirring, and that’s a fabulous feeling!
First I whipped up a batch of natural spider repellant.
It’s h2o and lemon essential oil combined in an old spray bottle. I went spritz-crazy all over the house. I’ll let you know if it actually does any repelling.
Next I cooked up a batch of Maple Coconut Granola.
I used Kath’s recipe but substituted unsweetened shredded coconut for pecans.
Then I tried my first smoothie in a bowl!
First I put a Siggi’s Vanilla in the bottom of my bowl.
Next came my smoothie.
I mixed 1cup frozen strawberries, a packet of Chocolate Infusion Amazing Meal, and water.
This was my first smoothie using water as the liquid and I still adored the Chocolate Amazing Meal! It wasn’t too grassy or too sweet but it totally helped to fill me up. No weird graininess either.
Finally I topped my SIAB with 1/4 cup of my new granola.
Delectable!
I think smoothies via spoon instead of straw will definitely be the new thing in this house.
I may not have done any exercise, but my blender sure got a workout! Next it had to tackle hummus.
I don’t have exact measurements, but I blended up chick peas, evoo, balsamic vinegar, salt, and water.
I wanted fresh hummus for lunch, but I also wanted … purple?
I ended up creating a pretty plate.
- Purple bell peppers,
- purple cherry tomatoes,
- a dollop of hummus,
and some pita pieces; a take-home from dinner with my parents the other day.
Lunch was good, but nothing could top my afternoon snack. I’ll give you a hint…
I cobbled together a couple recipes and my memories of Oko in Brooklyn to create Honey Greek Frozen Yogurt.
I didn’t have any fresh fruit (the horror) but enjoyed this bowl sans toppings just fine!
Dinner was also a winner, and I’d say that even if it didn’t rhyme.
Soon I’ve got to head to the airport to pick up my friend Camile! She’s flying in today and then tomorrow we are driving to NYC for BlogHer. So excited! The only sad this is that our friend Kristen was supposed to be meeting us in Buffalo on Sunday but due to some personal issues her trip got canceled. I’m feeling a bit down about the breakdown of our trio visit, so indulge me in a little reminiscing?
