What's Been Going On?

So my last post was about waiting...and I bet you've been waiting for me to post something else, huh?!  Sorry, but I couldn't resist.  I'm back at it today.  It's been just a crazy week or so with busyness at work and home.  Not going to get any less busy in the near future, but I'm going to try to do a better job of keeping up.  Here's just a little about what' I've been up to...plus a yummy recipe for you:

I joined in on a 25 pushups/day challenge from registered dietitian nutritionist Kate Scarlata. 

I've continued to make delicious baby food and wholesome treats for Baby G, like these no-sugar added banana muffins.

I used this recipe, but added 1/2 cup applesauce and left out the nuts
because G's not ready for whole pieces of nuts yet.

The meat on our plates is shrinking and the vegetables are growing.  Even my green vegetable averse husband is cleaning his plate.

Mixed greens and avocado salad with honey mustard dressing, sliced apple,
roasted garlic broccoli, and a small piece of rotisserie chicken.

I participated in a fun 5k event to benefit Mercy Ministries with my little sister, Baby G, and a sweet friend.

I made an awesome Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie because I was out of cookies and ice cream and realized I didn't need either with a smoothie like this. 

Well, there was a smoothie, but it was delicious and didn't last long enough for a photo.

Make your own delicious and slightly indulgent smoothie (and share since this recipe makes two generous helpings) by following this recipe:

• 2 medium very ripe bananas
• 2 cups milk
• 2 Tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 Tbs white chocolate peanut butter (or regular peanut butter)
• 1 scoop protein powder
• 1 cup ice
• 2 tsp honey (optional)

Blend everything together until frothy.  Divide evenly between two large glasses. Mmmmmm...yum!

What have you been up to?  Tomorrow's the first day of Lent; are you giving anything up?
