First of all, I HAVE to share my breakfast from yesterday. I was really craving a smoothie when I got done with my strength training workout at the gym, so I whipped one up, and when I say whipped, I’m serious! In the mix: 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla So Delicious Coconut Milk, 1/2 frozen banana, 1/2 cup frozen strawberries, 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, and truvia.

DO YOU SEE THAT??? It was like mousse!!! I didn’t even add xantham gum or anything! I’m not sure if it’s because I used So Delicious coconut milk instead of almond milk, or if it’s because I didn’t have any spinach to put in it, but it was AMAZING. So much fun to eat!

So on to my “guest” recipe. I can’t wait to try this out myself!

Do you all have friends who are particularly good at something? Gifted, if you will? Well I do. Her name is Maddie and she can bake. You may think, oh yea I can bake. Or, my mom makes some great chocolate chip cookies. Oh no. Maddie should own a bake shop. My favorite Maddie creations:

Carrot Cake – she made this in high school in celebration of me being in a poetry symposium (don’t ask…) and it was my first carrot cake ever. Since then, carrot cake has been my favorite kind of cake.

Chocolate S’More’s Cookies – she sent these to me freshman year of college, when I was having a really hard time adjusting to school. They were, and still are, the best cookies I’ve ever had. I re-created them for the law firm I interned for before I left Charleston, and everyone ended up taking home several.



Mexican Wedding Cookies – she sent these to me this summer (in a Disney Princess tupperware container, mind you) and they were amazing! They were perfectly moist and managed to last me two weeks!

Although I have not tried these cookies (she lives in Colorado…), I know they’re good. Why? Because she made them.

Maddie also wanted me to share a funny joke she saw in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month:

“What did the ghost say to the bee?”

“Boo Bee!”

Hahahahaha. Okay, I thought it was funny.

 

Do you have any friends with special talents?
