Sneaky Smoothie! :)

-
I wasn't really hungry at "dinner time" today, so of course I got hungry around 10:45pm tonight!  I decided another smoothie was the perfect solution (instead of with those chocolate chip peanut butter cup cookies the husband and his friend are eating hahah).

The fruit I've been using almost daily  is a banana, some frozen blueberries, a few strawberries, and some orange juice.  Well, I used the last of the bananas in some banana bread last night while Sarah and I were watching A Walk to Remember.  I looked in the freezer and found 1/4 cup of frozen sweet potato puree.... :)  My sister-and-law and I like to mix sweet potato puree to shredded cheese before we make our grilled cheese sandwiches....and it's also delicious when mixed into homemade hot cocoa (filling too!)  I got those recipes from Deceptively Delicious.

So anywho.....I added that last bit of pureed sweet potato to some orange juice, about 5 strawberries, and about two handfuls of blueberries.  Delicious and I can't taste the sweet potato! I feel so healthy right now! (Besides the fact that I'm "eating" at 11:45 at night!!

    Is that a Tervis Tumbler I see?? How about, those are the best cups ever! Me and Harrison both have the ones with the Auburn symbol and we LOVE them.

    ...oh...and your smoothie looks yummy too:-)

My Cleaning Schedule

1/8/2024 Update! I wrote this post 12 years ago!! Every spring and every January, my blog (that I don't update nearly often enough!) gets a lot of attention on this post about a simple cleaning plan! That makes a lot of sense though, right? That said, I noticed while doing laundry this week that it's time to buy some fresh microfiber towels for us to use for wiping down surfaces. While I'm shopping, I'm going to make a list here of some of our go-to cleaning supplies that you can find online. Microfiber Cleaning Cloths  - I use these for just about everything. I've had more and less expensive ones over the years, but I find as long as I wash them separate from any lint towels, they hold up well for a few years. Glass Spray Bottles  - I have one (and need more!). I like to dilute a little castile soap or dish soap in one for the boys to help clean surfaces. Currently, I have homemade pine cleaner in mine. I put a bunch of fresh pine straw in a jar, filled it with vin

Meal Plan for this Week

-
Image
 I'm going to try to start posting my meal plans each week....mostly so I can refer back to them later! If you want to see all my previous meal plans (some are monthly, some are weekly), you can see them here . Future ones will be tagged too if you want to bookmark that link. I always make sure to include some meals designated for leftovers to hopefully reduce the chance of forgetting about food in the back of the fridge. Breakfasts tend to switch between cereal & oatmeal or granola, with the occasional muffins or cinnamon rolls thrown in. As everyone is waking up, they can fix their breakfast with some coffee or hot cocoa, and pick out a book or quiet activity like coloring to do while eating while we wait for the day to get started.
