My Blog Review

Hi all you Imperfectly Perfect readers! I'm super excited to be here. Especially since Danielle and I are actually real life friends, not just blogging friends. We grew up in the same neighborhood, and even played on the same soccer team. I love it when I'm real life friends with my blogger friends too :)

I have always loved desserts. Not just eating, but making them too!  However, recently I decided to sharpen my homemaking skills and make dinner more  consistently...not the same five recipes over and over again, new ones! Gradually, cooking has become a hobby and creative outlet that I love,  and MBR has given me the opportunity to share my experiences with you! I post lots of recipes so come swing by when you get a chance.

  

As a mom myself I know how difficult it can be to find time to eat breakfast let alone make it! I love Yoplait's Triple Berry Smoothie's you can buy in the store because they're so fast and easy, but they're a little pricey. So I started experimenting with some different ingredients and came up with an easy, homemade recipe that I love.

      

Total Recipe Cost: $4.35

Servings Per Recipe: 4 (1 cup each)

Cost Per Serving: about $1.08 each

My husband only likes Yoplait yogurt (picky right? haha) so this recipe could cost less then $1 each if you get a generic brand. 

Yoplait Smoothie's cost $2.01 per serving (both prices include milk used)

That's $0.93 in savings!

       

Yoplait Triple Berry Fruit Smoothies

Ingredients

1 cup vanilla yogurt

1 medium banana

1T agave nectar/honey

2-1/2 cups frozen fruit

Directions

Place yogurt, banana and agave nectar in a blender. Cover; blend on high until smooth

Freeze the yogurt in ice cube trays. 2 tablespoons of yogurt in each cube 

Divide your frozen fruit into ziplock bags, 1/2 cup in each

When frozen, place 3 frozen yogurt cubes in each

Add 1/2 cup of milk or 3/4 cup orange juice into the blender with the contents of one bag and blend until smooth. Eat immediately. If it's not sweet enough you can always add a little more agave nectar.

Smoothies are just about the most versatile thing you can make so use your imagination! and stop buying those expensive packets from the store.

Enjoy!

Little America Brunch

Oakridge Brunch 2010

December Fun 2010

The girls have really started to love each other and love to be around each other. Here they are giving kisses.

My girls LOVE my drink...uh oh

Mostly on the "nice list"

Cole has been learning how to go on the potty and I think my girls are just as ready as Cole is. They always want to sit on the to-to and love to be so big.

Always sleeps with his hands up by his head.

Cole loved to do gingerbread houses this year. Here is his finsihed product that him and mommy made.

They love to get their pictures taken, but were less than impressed on this particular photo moment.

One handsome little stud.

Disneyland 2010

We went to Disneyland, like we do every year, and of course it was a blast. It was a little different this year and a lot harder than Dave and I anticipated with the kids, but it is Disneyland and it is the happiest place on earth. Cole enjoying a sucker.

Cole loved to see the characters, especially since he has been so in love with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Here is Daddy, Cole, and Goofy.

Here we all are with Mickey, at Christmas time the whole park is all decked out in Christmas, it is the best time to go for sure. There is not a line throughout the whole park, unless you want to see the characters, and everything is themed around Christmas, I LOVE it! The girls would not stop staring at Mickey.

Of course everywhere we go the twins get LOTS of attention, even Mickey wouldn't stop playing with them, (the line was HUGE) but everyone loves the girlies!

Cole loves Mickey.

This may be my favorite picture of the trip. They love the BIG mickey at the Disneyland Hotel.

Cole and "BIG mickey"




We had such a blast, but with baby on the way I don't think we will be making it to the annual Disneyland trip for a couple of years. Maybe when baby Cruz is 2?
