Scrabble Tiles

I bought several scrabble games at yard sales and put all the letters in a jar. I use them to make phrases.  Some are inspirational.  Some are seasonal.

Sometimes other people play with them and change the phrase.  They are irresistible.  I have no idea who made the phrase that's there now.

 I'm having company tomorrow and I'll bet it gets changed again. I still have my official scrabble set for playing a real game.

Penny's Red Smoothie

My sweet friend, Penny, sent me the recipe for her favorite smoothie.  It has become my new favorite as well.  It's yummy AND healthy.  What more can you ask from a smoothie?

Penny's Red Smoothie

• 1 med. (chopped) beet
• 5 oz. of org. spinach, (about 2 handfuls)
• 1 frozen banana
• 2 - 3 cups frozen org. blueberries
• a little Naked Juice or water

Makes 3 smoothies.

Mix all in a good blender - Vitamix or Blendtec.  If you have just a standard blender, it might not be able to handle the beet, but you could use the bottled beet juice instead.

My variation - I added a scoop of protein powder because my hubby (who has cancer) is supposed to be including that in his diet.
