Get Yer Smoothie On, Gurl

I've been obsessed, like obsessed, with smoothies as of late. Since I've been traveling a lot lately, it's no surprise that I've been to Mickey D's more than usual. So I've tried most of their smoothies. My favorite is their Wild Berry Smoothie, and since we've finally gotten a blender (!!!) I tried to make it myself. 

Ingredients:

3 Ice Cubes

2-3 Large Spoonfuls of Vanilla Yogurt

Orange Juice to taste

3 Handfuls of Frozen Berries (I used Great Value Berry Medley. It was perfect)

Sugar to taste

Blend and enjoy the deliciousness! 

The only thing I did a little bit differently than you might be used to is I first crushed my ice. The first time I made this I didn't crush it, and I was left with tons of full ice cubes. I felt like this just worked a lot better to crush the ice first.

Recipe: Home Elephant Ear

Happy Friday everyone! 
I, for one, am very pleased that it's Friday so in celebration I made myself a little treat that I thought I'd share with you. It's absolutely delicious, and has about the nutrition value of a pencil (actually it probably has less than a pencil... there has to be some fiber in that). 


So let's get started!

What You'll Need:
Tortillas (I prefer using the smaller 8" ones, but I only had the bigger. Use whatever your little heart desires!)
Vegetable Oil
Butter
Cinnamon & Sugar 





Directions:
First, pour your Vegetable Oil into a frying pan and let it warm up. After the oil is warm place your tortilla in the pan. When the tortilla starts to bubble and brown flip it over. Wait until the other side is browned (usually it won't get quite as brown as the first side). Now put your tortilla on a plate covered in paper towel and blot the heck out of it, unless of course you want a drippy oily tortilla. After it's sufficiently blotted butter that thang! Then, using mixed cinnamon and sugar, sprinkle it all over the top. 
Voila! You now have a homemade Elephant Ear of sorts.
