My Blender Issues...
I did it.  I bought a blendtec from the very nice Costco demonstrator-man...and I feel like I need to justify myself!  For years I have been making smoothies for the fam for breakfast! years people.  I have burned up...I don't know exactly the number...a lot of blenders.   In fact, the week before I bought the blendtec, my previous blender was smoking- SMOKING! So, even thought the blendtec is meg moola- it has a 7 year warranty and 4 horse power baby!!
Lately I have been making 2 smoothies a day- one for breakfast, and a "yummy" green smoothie for my lunch- this has worked wonders on the baby-weight-loss-effort! I took this picture this morning of the delish breakfast smoothie! p.s. my kids have NO IDEA that I put spinach in there!! :) Lest you think I am a total health-nut, let me help you banish those fears- My mother-in-law hosted the 2nd annual Cupcake Wars this weekend- Here are my entries... The Peanut butter-cup cupcake with peanut butter frosting were...I don't really know a word to describe them- they undid everything I had done for that previously mentioned weight-loss-effort. See what I mean!!?? And this picture really has nothing to do with this post, except that it's ADORABLE!!  I LOVE my girlies!

Thanks for being so gracious when we stopped by un-announced on Sunday.

That smoothie does look good. Is this the version you usually make or do you switch it up a lot?

I have a blend-tech and LOVE it...you will never regret your purchase. Money well spent. I too am a green smoothie nut. Want to swap recipes?

Ha ha Annie I LOVE this post. I AM a health nut. And even health nuts have to allow themselves the treats once in awhile. Also, you look absolutely GORGEOUS in your family pics, just in case you were wondering. :-) And way to sneak the spinach into their diets. Also...I am taking that last online social work class to apply for the program. :-) You inspire me.
