I'm obsessed with frappuccinos. They are so so good! My favorite is McDonald's Carmel frappuccino. It is amazing but it gets a bit expensive when I get one everyday. So I had to figure out a way to make my own.
Again I do not measure
About 1 C of cold coffee
1/4 C of ice
Whip cream
Carmel to drizzle on top or you can add it to make it a Carmel frappuccino.
A little milk to your liking.
Mix in a blender
I enjoy a good healthy smoothie everyday. My boys love theses smoothies and the best thing is they are good for them.
I don't really measure anything but this is a good estimate
1 cup of spinach or kale
2 tablespoons of chia seeds. They are all the rage
1/4 c of any kind of yogurt
1/2 C of milk or almond milk
1 C of frozen fruit.
1 banana. Don't skip the banana. It adds the sweetness and it helps with not tasting the spinach
Put it all in a blender and mix. Easy
I got away for about an hour and did some shopping. It is therapeutic to shop for me. I got me some new shades and love the pink for summer. The shirt is just a classic tank which will be cute with a statement necklace. The bananas are for my daily smoothie which I will put the recipe on tomorrow. Maybelline fit concealer is something I am excited to try. I have heard good things about it. I also wanted try the Maybelline eye shadow in champagne fizz. The Starbucks drink is used for my frappuccinos. I love making those. I also use the whip cream for that. I got a new curling iron but I'm not sure I like it. Next stop was Carter's. I could not say no to this adorable outfit. It is a 3 piece outfit for $12! Love my shopping days but now out of money :(
There are some awesome stuff at west elm. How have I never looked at this site?
Tea towels. I'm a sucker for tea towels
This summer we are cooking! I'm trying to teach my boys to cook. There is nothing better then a man cooking for you! So Blaine cooked encharitos . Very easy and very good.
1 can of re fried beans
1 can of red enchilada sauce
1 package of taco seasoning
Flour tortillas
Ground beef
Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup water
Brown ground beef. Once browned drain grease. Add water and taco seasoning. Stir until all meat is covered with the seasoning. Take your tortillas and spread beans on the tortilla. Put some meat on top of tortilla and roll up. Once you have all the tortillas rolled up with your mixtures pour enchilada sauce on top. Sprinkle cheddar cheese. Cover your dish with foil. Put in oven on 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
Day 2 on teacher appreciation day is to bring something sweet. My mom and dad went to Texas yesterday and went to Trader Joes. I wish we had a Trader Joes. I had my mom get some dark chocolate treats for Logan's teacher since she likes dark chocolate. I also had my mom get me 8 cookie butters. If you haven't had this cookie butter stuff don't because you won't be able to put the jar down. I got Blaine's teacher a jar of the cookie butter. I have to be honest it was a bit hard to part with it.
