leftovers and production lines

A nice normal day at the office comes with an easy to put together outfit.

Leftovers from my mom's birthday party were just as tasty the next day!

 

I had a version of dessert in the form of vanilla yogurt, strawberries and chocolate shavings. I also had two jumbo raisin cookies!

I can't go to the office empty handed, but the cookies I brought had nuts and since she's allergice my mom made my co-worker a mini cake in a box!

 Putting the cake together.

The final tasty product!

Before heading to the gym I got a text from my brother saying "pick up some rice, 'we're making sushi for dinner!". We had fun making a production line and then eating every bite of our creation!

smoothie in a bag

Ahhh, the smoothie. My favourite breakfast time treat. It is just that for me... a treat. It's packed full of healthy ingredients, but I always feel a bit naughty drinking one for breakfast.

As you can tell I'm a bit of a smoothie addict. I love making them, but I'm also curious about how restaurants make them so I usually order one to try. I really didn't like the Tim Horton's version as it's pretty much just a sugary slushy with milk. I recently tried the Pita Pit one and loved e it! It's frozen yogurt, 100% juice and a ziplock bag of frozen bananas and strawberries. Which got me thinking...

Smoothies are a bit of a chore to make in the wee hours of the morning when I'm rushing out the door. Tonight I took out a ziplock bag and a tuperware and filled them with frozen strawberries and sliced bananas. I filled my blender with milk, yogurt and cinnamon and put it in the fridge. Tomorrow I just have to combine the two and presto! A much faster version of my breakfast dessert!


What other combos can I make? Banana, peanut butter and cocoa powder? Strawberry, pineapple? What about freezing the yogurt too? Or even then, just making a lot of smoothie and freezing the whole thing in smaller chunks? Humm... that might be a bit much (although I saw a "smoothie" in a bag at the grocery store the other day!).
