Happy Valentine's Day!




We're having a mild week weatherwise, with the temperatures above 0C. I walked to church yesterday, and was able to pick up our tax receipt for 2010. They used to mail it, but this is a good cost cutting method.

The zumba exercise class last week became a body jam class because the zumba instructor was under the weather. The body jam instructor was excellent and it was a total blast. This lady told me these classes really depend on the instructor. Unfortunately I don't think this instructor is a regular at our gym. Oh well.

I made some chili con carne with ground chicken last week, and we all enjoyed it. I've also been making banana smoothies:

1 cup of skim or 1% milk
1/2 cup of plain yogurt (or whatever kind you have on hand)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp honey
2 bananas

blend in the blender for under a minute. Simple, quick, nutritious and delicious!

Happy Valentine's Day! Thank you for your wonderful comment. It is beginning to warm up some here. It was in the 50's yesterday and that is unusual for Feb. I will take it.I had not thought about a smoothie for a while but that sounds really good right now.

You've got a good point with those smoothies. I have never made one. I will have to change that! I did get a smoothie blender for Christmas, and there is always fresh fruit in the house. I will let you know how it turns out!!

Hope you had a great day, Shayla!

Judy, thanks for stopping by.

Kay, you can also put nutmeg or cinnamon as well, K just prefers it simple.

Mmm, thank you, M actually surprised me with some beautiful red roses that I am enjoying.

Mare, do let me know how your smoothie turns out!
