Avocado! That’s right. We’re putting avocado in the blender this morning ’cause we’re making a chocolate avocado smoothie for breakfast. Aren’t you excited?! I’m excited too. See, I’ve never used avocado in a smoothie before because avocados usually don’t make it past salads, bean burritos or stay-at-home burrito bowls around here. But today, half an … Read more
So What Are We Putting in the Blender Today?
January 31st, 2012 | Posted by in Breakfast - (7 Comments)When You’re Not Eating Bagels for Breakfast
January 23rd, 2012 | Posted by in Breakfast - (2 Comments)It was another egg and everything bagel kind of weekend here. (That means it was a good weekend.) But now it’s Monday, and we’re moving on to better and bluer breakfasts. These little wild blueberries from Woodstock Farms are my current favorite small blue thing. I pop about a half cup of them into a … Read more
Dear Everything Bagel, I know you aren’t the best thing in the world to eat, but you’ve really got a hold on me right now, so I’m rolling with it. Like a bagel would roll down a hill, you might say. I justified you today with an early morning two mile walk to the bagel … Read more
Under normal circumstances, I try to avoid cereal like the bubonic plague. (I don’t know what the bubonic plague is exactly, but I do know that I like that word “bubonic”.) I had a coupon for a box of this stuff and it looked good, so I went for it. Except “normal circumstances” no longer … Read more
I Will Not Eat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups for Breakfast
November 4th, 2011 | Posted by in Breakfast - (7 Comments)I have Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups in my freezer. Blasted Halloween. These are Maxine’s, and it was her idea to put them in the freezer. I think there is something programmed into women from birth to know that chocolate + peanut butter are best when cold. I will not eat Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for … Read more
Ava said, “you’re sticking your tongue out” while I was taking this picture. That’s my Thinking Tongue! And besides, that’s how the French do it. (OK so maybe I left out that last bit when responding to my 7 year old’s observations.) I had French toast on the brain when I woke up this morning, … Read more
I’m trying to make peace with the fact that early morning outdoor exercise is soon to be a relegated to the weekends. For the first time since early spring I busted out the pink hat (you know, the hat I knit myself) and gloves for a morning walk/run today. More walking than running this morning, … Read more
It’s simply that time of year. I don’t usually buy flavored coffee, but for whatever reason, I decided to go for it this time. I think the Green Mountain Coffee Marketing Department totally sucked me in with their “Limited Edition!!” ploy. I can’t miss out! Throw it in the cart!! HURRY! I’m such a sucker. … Read more
Homeschooling comes with plenty of challenges, but it’s also got a handful of perks. One of my favorite perks? We quite often get to enjoy leisurely mornings at home – by design, really. I’m a morning person, but that doesn’t mean I’m uber-excited to run out the door first thing in the morning on any … Read more
My kids love frozen blueberries. Both of them. Even the little one. They snack on them straight from the freezer and then force me to look at their blue stained lips for about three hours until the color wears off, or until I can’t take it anymore and pin them to the ground for a … Read more
