NOTHING VENTURED, NOTHING GAINED

Ever since I was a child,

I was interested in hand-crafts.

I learned to knit and quilt 

almost before I learned to read.

Even then, 

it seemed important to me

for artisans to be able to 

ply their trade.

 My sweet daughter

had taught me some of the basics

of making jewelry - 

but then I decided 

I wanted to learn more....

That led me 

to use

my camera and computer

as an artistic outlet.

I now make

custom made necklaces 

and offer them in my Etsy Store.

They are unique and affordable.

Stop by and see me sometime.

A GLUTEN FREE DELIGHT

For quite some time,

I had been looking at

the Magic Bullet.

 Since I like to have 

smoothies for breakfast,

I thought it would

be a great tool 

to have in my kitchen.

I just couldn't justify

the space and money

when my blender 

would do the same jobs.

About two weeks ago,

my husband and I were 

shopping at Costco

and the Magic Bullet

was on sale for $39.00.

I put it in the cart

and have never looked back.

It is a great kitchen tool

and do I ever enjoy it

for making my smooties -

much easier clean up

since you can drink 

right out of the same canister

that you mix your drink in.

            

 I still haven't figured out

where to put all of these pieces,

but the base and

two of the canisters

are on my counter

because I use them daily.

  

 This morning,

I started with a 

one serving

of 

Greek Coconut Yogurt.

 

 Next I added

a package of 

Classic French Vanilla

Instant Breakfast.

 

 About 3/4 cup of frozen pineapple.

 One cup of skim milk.

It only took about 30 seconds

for it to be mixed

into one of the best smoothies

I've ever had -

In fact it was so good

that I would consider

it a milkshake!!

And to top it all off,

it is gluten free.
