Mmm Mmm Monday!



A column! Everyone is doing it- so why not me right? Food is my thing. I enjoy making it- and eating it (have you seen my butt?) I like good food. Food that looks good and tastes good (and if it's good for you it's a bonus). So I'm going to be sharing a favorite recipe of mine (or my family's) with you each Monday. Mmm Mmm...Monday! I love trying new recipes as well. So if you want to share a recipe today let me know in the comments and I'll link you.


Today's treat?

Blueberry Banana Smoothie- the breakfast of champions!



1/2 cup of fat free yogurt
1/2 cup of milk
1 small banana
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 tsp of vanilla
Ice/water to consistency
dab of whipped cream


Blend all ingredients together until smooth, top with whipped cream.

I have this or a variation of this for breakfast daily. Fills me up until lunchtime. It is core if you are on Weight Watchers- or 4 points if you're doing flex. This recipe makes 4-5 cups (so twice the amount in the picture. So if you split it with someone (or half the recipe) then it's a great 2 point treat. YUM!

I'm a "Rocks In My Dryer" reader and noticed that you started this new column today. I started a Monday Recipe Column today also. That's freaky!

I'll let you know how our dinner turns out. If it's good, I'll post that recipe. If not, I'll post it anyway...so you all make sure to never make it.

I'm starting to think we may have been separated at birth. I just found your blog tonight, and, wanna hear the freaky part? I spilt a shake, just like this, same flavor and everything, on my carpet today! LOL Wanna know what removes blueberry stain from carpet? Oxy-Clean, and it's really nice if you have a shampooer to help.
