The Ultimate Ogre

I've had a couple people respond about my ogres... Which in this big blog world are better known as "Green Monsters". I've been on an ogre kick for a little bit now. Well until I ran out of spinach but I got more yesterday so I'm back on!

This morning I had the ULTIMATE OGRE or my favorite one. I measured everything out so all you skepticals can make one. I promise it's good.

This morning I used (from left to right)

• 4 cups of spinach (seems like a lot but it was just one big handful).
  
• 1 scoop (1T) of Amazing Grass (you can use protein powder, cocoa powder or just skip it all together)
  
• 1 cup of soy milk (I like regular skim milk better).
  
• 1 tablespoon chia seed mix Definitely another you can skip. It was the first time I used it and didn't taste it at all.
  
• 1 tablespoon Crazy Richard's natural peanut butter (you can use any nut butter)
  
• 1 cup of frozen banana
  

I put the milk in first, then the spinach, and put the rest of the stuff on top. If I put the bananas in first my blender gets angry.

I blend it for about 2 or 3 minutes to so the bananas get frothy.

If I didn't use the Amazing Grass it would be much greener.

So yesterday I received a package in the mail. Nanette over at Crazy Richard's peanut butter sent me a package with 4 jars of their peanut butter to try!

This peanut butter is comparable to Barney Butter with consistency but... it's PEANUT BUTTER! I like almond butter but peanut butter will always be my favorite. This is my favorite nut butter ever.

After breakfast I hit the gym with a friend. We did a body combat class. Girl... What were we thinkin?! It was awesome! By the time I left I was dripping in sweat and my arms are like jelly right now.

When I got home I was starving. I made a veggie flatbread with romaine lettuce, cucumbers, tomato, feta, oregano, S&P, and a little bit of white wine vinegar. So good!

I had all intentions of eating the yogurt in the picture but it didn't happen. Infact I dumped most of my lunch in the trash. The husband called around lunch time and I didn't have an appetite after the phone call. I can't say much but there probably won't be a dinner post for the next couple days.

Have you guys been watching the news?

Squirrelly Videos

Since my sister and I had to search 2 years of blog posts to find a couple videos today I decided to compile some of my favorites into one post. If I'm missing any let me know... I'm sure I'll be adding more all the time. There is a link to this post over on the right hand side of the blog under LINKS.

A few days after she was born. Less than 2lbs here.


Kangarooing. It's proven that preemie babies do better in general if they are held by their parents skin on skin.

One of the first day's home.

Gus and the squirrel. They've been life long buds.

See!

My personal favorite of her.
