This is a super quick post done at….about 1:30…am.  I was out grocery shopping the other day and was looking at new foods to try (because that’s something I just love to do) and I came across this.  I’m not a fan of peanut butter, but in trying to eat healthier things (on occasion, lol) I decided to give it a try.  At first I was going to venture out and buy a whole jar of one flavor, but just as I decided not to I saw the sample packets.  What other excuse did I have not to try?  Not one.

Five Ingredient Shortbread…with Six Ingredients?


Every so often a basket of delicious cookies would magically appear at work.  I didn’t know who made them at first, but I always helped myself.  They were for sharing of course.  Eventually I found out these delicious treats were shortbread cookies.  YUM.  Remember that cookbook this recipe came from?  Well, it just so happen it also has a recipe for shortbread.  Of course, I had to try it.

White Chocolate Raspberry Blondies


For those of you following me on Instagram you saw the massive amount of chocolate I got for Valentine’s day (total surprise).  Within that were two bags of white chocolate chips and a white chocolate baking bar.  While the baking bar didn’t make it, along with the Hershey kisses and milk and white chocolate hearts, the chocolate chips survived.  I didn’t want to eat them plain, so I held on to them hoping for a better way to use them.  I’ve made blondies before and they were amazing, so I decided to try them again and put a slight twist to them.

Juicing Once Again


20140127_180835[1]

 

So I’ve done a tad bit more juicing since my first post, and I thought I’d share some more of my thoughts.

  • Raspberries don’t produce as much juice as I thought.
  • Blueberries produce more juice than I thought.
  • Pineapple and orange is still amazing.
  • Eventually I will stop picking up a nectarine when I want a peach.
  • Fizz is still annoying.
  • Adding water makes it so much better.

I was told to keep it simple, so I will.  I’m still working up the courage to try vegetables.  Maybe even vegetables only.  Eek!  How do you like juicing and what are some of your favorite recipes?

Juicing Tips


So apparently I decided to bring in the new year by juicing.  These are some things that I learned:

  • A pumello tastes like a less bitter grapefruit.
  • Juicing a mango was a bad idea.  It turned more into a purée that wound up clogging my juicer.
  • Pineapple also clogged my juicer.  I’ll have to clean the filter every so often while juicing them.  I don’t know what happened this time around because I didn’t run into this problem before.  I did use precut pineapple the first time.  Maybe that mattered.

I thought I’d share that tidbit with you.  Enjoy the first day of your new year!

Later that morning: Will not use these combinations again. lol
