Mason's team won the tournament!! Yay! This is the first basketball trophy Mason has ever gotten. It will fit nicely with all his baseball and football ones :) WAY TO GO, MASON!! (I wish his hair wasn't so sloppy!!)
In between flea marketing and spray painting a project today, I found time to make my homemade yogurt cups:
Every morning I eat toast and a yogurt cup. Chobani yogurt is, by far, the world's best yogurt! I love their unique flavors and the thick, creamy, greek yogurt is hard to beat. It puts all other yogurts to shame (they really should be embarrassed of themselves). But (and it's a BIG but), the cost of such indulgence is adding up. At $1.29 a cup, I can easily spend $10-15 a week on yogurt!! I compromised, since I know I won't go without Chobani yogurt. I bought a large container of the plain (still $5.24 ON SALE) and made my own. I can stretch it out to get about 7 cups of yogurt and that equals out to, roughly, .75 cents a cup. I did not include the toppings, though. This week it is homemade canned plums and peaches made from someone that I hope will teach me how to can!! I love the peaches, but the plums are to die for delicious!! It is a perfect mix of sweet, melt-in-your-mouth plums with tangy yogurt. YUM! I mixed in some Chia seeds and sliced almonds. The Chia seeds will soak up all the extra juices and make it extra creamy. I almost can't wait until morning! Of course, I have to counter the healthy food. I made chocolate covered strawberries today and Mason and I can't stop eating them!!
Kale. Kale. Kale. I was on a kick early this year, drinking Kale smoothies everyday. Then it went to every other day. Then it stopped. I had an entire (huge) bag of kale in my fridge that I didn't want to go bad, so I decided to add kale to every single dish that I made. Then I made a smoothie that, well, was a little "kale-chunky." That made me not want another one FOR A LONG TIME. I am going to be honest, I was Kaled-out. I stopped eating it for a couple of weeks and then I broke down and bought another (smaller) bunch. It sat in my fridge for a couple of days just begging to be eaten in some form. So, here is what I did:
Kale Crisps!!! OMGosh, run to the nearest kale-selling store and grab a bunch! It is soooo good, you will NOT be sorry!! Slice it off the rib(?), toss it with some olive oil, salt, and pepper and place on a baking sheet. Let it bask in a 425 degree oven for about 5-10 minutes (until the edges are brown-black). Pull it out of the oven and crunch away. It takes on an entirely different taste, I couldn't believe it! You have to try it!
I will leave you today with the stunning beauty of my child on his way to take Baileigh outside:
Can you imagine what the neighbors think??
