How do you start the day when you wake up and would rather eat ice cream than breakfast?
{Banana Soft Serve}
{Seriously. Delicious.}
{In my favourite new mug!}
My tummy was questionable this morning, so I figured I wouldn’t overload it (I know, right? Me thinking about NOT overloading my tummy….who knew?). So, the idea of cream of broccoli soup went flying out the window, and some more fruit was decided upon. In the form of a smoothie, of course. He he.
{Smoothie countdown. 3-2-1…Ah, Blendtec, I heart you!}
Sat down to eat it with a spoon, and quickly remembered that I actually have a blender that doesn’t live chunks of frozen fruit in your glass. I was pleasantly surprised.
Jessica had a really cool Glass Dharma straw giveaway a few weeks ago, and my amazing new glass straws arrived on Friday! They took some getting used to, as you can see, they’re not as small as regular straws.
I haven’t been blogging lately, but that hasn’t stopped me from amassing glass, mugs, dishes, straws blenders and the like. My new obsession: shopping for fun new dishes.
What’s your favourite thing to shop for??
I had to work an awful evening shift tonight - love the job, hate the evening shift – so I made some (ridiculously named) Chowdy Doody for dinner tonight. Love the recipes in this cookbook – hate the titles. Seriously. I avoided their books forever because of the stupid titles, and ugly covers. I’m one of those people who judges a book by its cover.
{Simple ingredients}
{I firmly believe that soup tastes better in a mug…and this chowder was seriously…amazing}
I doubled the recipe so I have lunch for the rest of the week. Sorry, folks. You’ll be sick of looking at it, but I will NOT get sick of eating it!
Off to watch Glee. It heart that show.
I need a smoothie maker!!! you food looks and sounds so delic... jealous!!! :)
ReplyDeletehehehe... never mind I found out my answer (re:glass dharma) glad you got them!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your fun new dishes, where have you been shopping?
Love the new dishes!!! If we had more money, I'd be doing the same thing! Eating from nice dishes makes such a difference in my mood!
ReplyDeleteThat chowder DEFINATELY looks good! I may have to bookmark that & give it a try!
ReplyDeleteThe thing I WISH I could shop for right now is shoes! Specifically, summer sandals. That chowder looks tasty!
ReplyDeleteYour smoothie looks terrific, delish, filling and soo healthy! The chowder does have a ridiculously funny name, but it DOES look amazing!!
ReplyDeleteYour new dishes look soo cute....I love cute dishes, they make eating as much fun as cooking (almost), and they make every meal a little 'event', I find I eat less if I make a little mini occasion out of every meal ;)
I don't get to shop very often these days....the only stores I get to visit lately are pretty much my neighbourhood supermarkets! :P
I soo heart Glee...it is ridiculously good!!
I've never tried that recipe, is it from ESBM or Crazy Plates? Looks great and I second that soup is better from a mug! ;)
ReplyDeletehaha, Chowdy Doody is one of my fave recipes from those books...but yes, I think the names are silly.
ReplyDeleteI am a huge smoothie fan, too! My daugther and I have one every morning. Here's my recipe:

ReplyDeleteI LOVE my metrx chocolate shake made with cold decaf instead of water, frozen for a couple of hours and eaten with a spoon.
lovelovelove :)
