Bread Bakery

Here is a shot I took through a doorway of a bakery in San Francisco, CA. I loved the bread display.

Well, I have not been here in a while! So sorry for the sabbatical. I am back on track and going to be loading new and cool things, starting tomorrow!!

Thanks for looking,

Summer is Fading...

So I guess I will have to trade out visions of beach wear for something a little different. I know, how about  amazing ski outfits!!!

Busy Summer, No Posts

It's been while since I have posted. This has been an  incredibly busy summer, filled with family, friends, beaches,  parties and on and on...
I did finally get some more items posted for sale at my shop and have sold a few things. So fun!!!
Here is one of the patterns I made:

Football... Viewer is discretion advised!

If you follow football at all here is an awesome video that will make you laugh. It has mild adult content and not meant for children.  Click on this link:   http://www.directv.com/footballcops/default.html.

That's Oregon for ya!

What started out as a nice ride in the morning under cloudy skies turned out to be a nasty soaking rain that probably led the drenched cyclist indoors for a warming cup of coffee!

Tropical Strawberry Smoothie

I created the Tropical Strawberry Smoothie for a couple of reasons. The first, is for an amazing blast of energy and the second, is to curb the cravings for unhealthy desserts. The wonderful thing about a smoothie is made with right ingredients, it can be served as a midnight snack without adding weight to the scale the next morning. 

I posted the recipe below and also added some alternate/optional ingredients. My favorite way to make this drink is to keep it all natural with honey as the sweetener. Just add honey slowly to make sure it only sweetens and does not override all the other flavors.

Strawberry Tropical Smoothie

Makes about 36-48oz (three 12 oz glasses).

4-5             Strawberries with cap removed (if using a blender such as a Vita Mix you can leave this part on)
1                 Banana (approx)
1/2              Mango
1/4              Honeydew/Cantaloupe (approx)
2 T -1/4 C   Honey (based on your palate)
3-4              Ice cubes
1/2 - 1 C     Plain yogurt (Nancy's, Greek, etc)

Alternate/optional ingredients:

3 T              Milk (optional. Helps to mix)
1-2 T.         Wheat Germ (added for health, does not alter flavor)
1/2-1 C       Mango Sorbet (if you add this, do not use the honey)

Blend the strawberries and banana. Add each of the next items one at a time and blend. Use the optional milk if you have trouble getting the fruit to blend. Finally, add yogurt and tap the stir button on mixer to just blend. This will help keep the live cultures active.
Serve immediately or freeze.

*All ingredients can be exchanged or omitted to taste. A very easy way to make a smoothie is to just use two or three fruit as the base.
