Lately, I have been making TONS of new smoothies. Each afternoon, when my oldest kiddo gets home from school, I make all 3 kids an afternoon smoothie. Since my oldest gets home around 4 pm and we eat dinner around 5, its a nice way to keep them full until dinner, without loading them up with sugar ...

Fruit n Veggie Smoothie
Each afternoon, when my oldest kiddo gets home from school, I throw together a quick smoothie to hold the kids over until dinnertime. They love it since they get to pick the main fruit used, and I love it because I slip veggies into it that they never know about, hehe!!! They quickly drink it down, ...
Caramel Apple Cider (for adults)
On Christmas Eve each year, my parents stay the night over at our house, so that on Christmas morning, we are all together and can watch the kids open their presents. On Christmas Eve, once the kids head to bed, the adults open their presents and enjoy yummy snacks and drinks. This year, I decided ...
Slow Cooker Hot Cocoa

Whole Fruit Margarita
I have mentioned in earlier posts that my husband bought me a Vitamix recently. I had been telling him for days, weeks, and even months, all the benefits of it. One of the perks I had sold him on was the way it could easily make a yummy margarita. My husband loves the occasional margarita, ...
