Practicing Gratitude 23 of 31 | 101 in 1001

Hi, my day began great. I made a chocolate banana smoothie and it was delicious. This set the day off to a wonderful start. For this being a Monday, this small delight was greatly welcomed! For this, I am very grateful.

I had heard of smoothies, but I have never had one. Imagine that! Well, I went to Amazon and bought the Nutribullet Personal Blender. Looked up a Weight Watchers recipe and decided next time my grand daughters came over, I’d have them show me how to use the blender. They have smoothies quite often at their house and I knew Brie would be able to show me!

Did you notice I said chocolate banana smoothie? Chocolate and Weight Watchers do not play well with each other point wise. The recipe called for Whey (protein) and specifically chocolate whey. I had no idea what this was. Let alone if I would like it. And the kicker was, it is expensive, yikes! 😲

Yesterday while Brie was following the recipe, she advised me that you don’t need a recipe, ‘Just add what ever you want, Grandma.’ 😂 Well, this morning I altered the recipe. It called for water 6 oz and then 6 oz milk. Today I did not add the water instead used 12 oz milk. I enjoyed the flavor this morning more so than yesterday’s smoothie.

Here is the altered recipe I used to make my delicious chocolate banana smoothie.

In order shown add the following:

1 percent milk
First add 12 oz milk.
chocolate whey
Next add one scoop of the chocolate whey.
bananas
Last add 1/2 of medium banana.

The next time I make a smoothie, I will try adding frozen fruit. Per my Google search, the frozen fruit will thicken the drink. I will be doing more searches for smoothies. This new found favorite has me excited to try different variations!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Practicing Gratitude 11 of 31 | 101 in 1001

Hi, it’s Day 11 in the practicing gratitude in October. I am grateful for date night.
Seldom can I get Kevin to go on vacations and real dates. We had a real date! 🙂

The wedding I crashed a few weeks ago was at the Lidia’s Italian Restaurant. Lidia and the restaurant celebrated their 25th anniversary. Before leaving the wedding, I booked a reservation for me and Kevin. This was our real date 🙂

I did good! Kevin had a wonderful time. He watches cooking shows on the weekend. Lidia is one of those shows. Normally Kevin will not let anyone take pictures of him. He runs when the camera is pulled out. On our drive to dinner, I asked for one picture of the two of us. He agreed. I was a happy wife!

Dinner was delicious. The one picture I missed taking was of the menu.

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Hi, today I am grateful for a few reasons. First, for my husband who came up with this breakfast recipe for me. There may already be a similar recipe somewhere, but I have never seen it until Kevin made this. I call them Scrambled Egg Muffins. Originally, he used a regular sized muffin pan and sliced ham lunch meat. After several tweaks, he now uses the large muffin pan and Canadian Bacon slices. Second reason, these are quite tasty and only 4 points on the Weight Watchers program for two muffins.

Kevin never writes down his recipe, it changes each time he makes it. Should you be interested, here is a basic recipe to follow:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Large Muffin pan, sprayed with non stick spray.

Canadian Bacon
– Two Slices per pocket
Eggs
– 18 Large Eggs Scrambled
Cheese
– Your Choice and Amount
Salt & Pepper
– To Your Liking
Chopped Green Pepper
– As Much as You Like

First, place two slices of Canadian Bacon into individual pockets.
Then add in order- green peppers (any vegetable), scrambled eggs filling the pocket half or two thirds, top with cheese.

Bake 20 minutes. Turn oven off. Turn muffin pan 180 degrees, leave in oven (door closed). Let set in oven for approx 2 minutes. Remove from oven. The eggs will be fluffy and very pretty 🙂 Once cooled, the eggs will shrink. Remove from pan, store in plastic zip bags in refrigerator. In my opinion, they are good cold or heated in microwave.
