My Latest Obsession

I'm not a huge health food nut, but I do like to eat fresh whenever possible. I've recently discovered spinach smoothies and I LOVE them! I've never loved spinach in salads because it makes a weird squeaky sound between my teeth that drives me crazy. However we all know we're supposed to get lots of DarkLeafyGreenVegetables and spinach is one of them.

Solution: disguise the spinach with yogurt and fruit!

Start with a half cup of packed spinach and a half cup of frozen fruit.        

Throw in a banana and a half cup of yogurt.

               

Taaada! Thats all you need!

Looks nasty (lets not pretend this doesn't look like vomit), but tastes delicious and is great for you! Seriously ALL you taste is fruit!

Yum!

Astoria and San Fran

A recent trip took me to Astoria, Oregon and San Francisco! It was glorious! Awesome time with my brother and cousin, going to soccer games, drinking really good coffee, hiking mountains, eating tons of great food (with an emphasis on breakfast food), meeting David's friends, long talks, visiting breweries, shopping, taking the Jeep mudding in Washington state, taking naps, reading insignificant books, taking pictures (mainly of the boys doing the kneeling archer pose), and generally have a wonderful trip.

It might be the perfect addition to my tree themed house one day...

International Arts Festival

 I had a great weekend at the International Arts Festival! Jayme and Ashton came for a visit and we went adventuring to Francis Marion where we skipped through the rain, colored with chalk, saw Chinese acrobats, waded in fountains, tried not to get chosen as audience participation for the African drumming and dance performance, and of course ate some great international food!
