Smoothies Aren't Just For Health Nuts

If you are like me, you probably hear the word "smoothie" and you think, "Blah... healthy!"  I am here to tell you, that does not have to be true!  Yes, my friends, it is possible to make a smoothie that is totally unhealthy. 

I have a new blender and I have become inspired to make delicious and fairly unhealthy smoothies.  Most smoothies typically have milk or coconut water.  You can add healthy items like yogurt or a banana or kale.  But just because you add those healthy items, doesn't mean you can add some equally unhealthy items.  If you want that smoothie to taste great, you'd better count on adding some stuff that is not that healthy.

Some totally unhealthy stuff you can add to a banana smoothie are:

Chocolate syrup
Caramel syrup
Vanilla extract
Coffee creamer - any flavor!
Whipped cream
Ice cream
Sherbet
Flavored instant coffee
Alcohol
Sugar
Peanut  butter
Crumbled pieces of cake or cookies
And much, much more!

If you can put it in a blender, you can add it to a smoothie.  I would not recommend adding all these items at the exact same time, but you can add a few at a time.  Don't stop until you have made the most delicious smoothie ever.  Just don't bother counting the calories... I assure you it will be too depressing.  Have fun!

Cadbury Screme Eggs

I love junk food more than any adult probably should.  It is no secret I LOVE Cadbury Eggs.  Normally I have to wait until the early part of each year to buy Cadbury Creme Eggs.  Once Easter is over, so is Cadbury Egg season.  Well, not this year!

This year, Cadbury decided to do me a favor and create Cadbury Screme Eggs for Halloween.  Oh, what a delight!  So far, I have found these delicious eggs at Target and Wegman's.  I heard a rumor they were at CVS as well.

You might wonder if these are just as delicious as Cadbury Creme Eggs and I am here to tell you, "Yes, they are just as good as the Easter eggs!"  Instead of being filled with white and yellow goo, they are filled with green goo that is just as tasty.  I highly recommend them!

Adventures in Baking

Today just goes to show that sometimes it is not worth getting out of bed (or off the couch, for that matter).  My entire day has been a bit of a disaster.  Work has been crappy, but for some reason, I agreed to bake a cake for tomorrow's work party.  Good idea?  Wrong. 

I suppose this picture does not quite show how lopsided the cake really appears to be.  Also, the frosting is too runny.  Once the premade store frosting was not working out for me, I attempted to make homemade frosting.  That was also a disaster and went down the garbage disposal.  This just goes to show, sometimes, it is better to stay in bed.  Sigh.

So now, my lopsided cake with runny frosting will go to work tomorrow.  Perhaps people will consider this a good analogy for how my entire week at work has been.  Well, I must look on the bright side... at least I can eat cake.
