Hey everyone! Hope you've had an awesome week. I'll admit that this week seemed to drag a bit. Hooray for Friday!
Here are some awesome things I've made/purchased recently:
![Green Smoothie](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3950/15431757770_66923b40d0.jpg)
My first actually green smoothie. I cooked my greens (kale) first, as advised by Carrie from Deliciously Organic. This was delicious and refreshing.
Here's what I used: frozen peaches, kale, milk, cream, maple syrup and grass-fed gelatin. To my surprise, the kale seemed to complement the flavor of the peaches.

Crispy eggs are delicious and fun to eat. I used the method outlined by Deb from Smitten Kitchen.

I bought a new tea kettle! It's adorable (from Japan) and makes pouring water into my Aeropress so much easier.

Homemade ghee is so so easy. I made it one morning before Reuben went to work. I used Heidi Swanson's method.

Earlier this week I went to our local health food store and the farmers' (is that the proper way to spell it?) market. We got all this for less than $45.
![I tried cinnamon in my cocoa for the first time the other day! It was good, but I think I need to put more in next time. #latergram #cocoa](https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5612/15431234488_9d4b3dfe8d.jpg)
I finally broke down and tried cinnamon in my cocoa. It adds a lovely depth of flavor. Next time I need to use more...
![Doughnuts](https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5610/15592140636_0cab284c6d_z.jpg)
I made doughnuts, guys! For breakfast, even. I had some leftover bread dough from making fry bread tacos last night. We couldn't think of anything else to make for breakfast, so I fried up the dough, dipped it in butter, and rolled it in powdered and cinnamon sugar. I'm not a doughnut girl, but these were delicious.
Just so you know, we had eggs as well - it wasn't an all-carb breakfast. ;)

I like your Friday variety post--keep them up, please. Really appreciated the tip from Deliciously Organic about cooking kale. I just can't eat raw kale--ugh. Your photos are great, and they make we want to try every one of those recipes.
ReplyDeleteYay, I'm so pleased that you enjoy my Friday posts! Honestly, I didn't know if anyone would care for these posts. :)
