Smoothie, frappe, or whatever you call it - Gluten free delicious

I found a nice little smoothie making stick for $12.
I found the best glass jar, and decided that ice cream can be avoided a bit more, if I made delicious drinks for myself.
8 fl oz of almond milk
1/4 cup fage Greek style yogurt
1 banana
5 strawberries
1 tbsp honey or Agave Nectar

frothy and delicious...
Honestly, the stick is easier to wash than a blender, and so much quicker to get out, use, and put away.
Less washing and parts to wash, and truly makes the whole.."making a treat" a quick fix for something smooth and creamy.
Try it...
There are lots of berries and fruits that would make this great

I tried the unsweetened Almond Breeze milk, the chocolate Almond Breeze also works .

I am looking forward to the New Cookbook release are you


I enjoy the gluten free girl [shauna] and her husband the chef [danny].
I find their blogging about life, ACTUALLY blogging about life and food, but also about loving life and loving food and not allowing food to be an enemy, but actually embracing food as one of your best friends that is healthy.


I even got in on the debate of what the cover should be, (with an answer or two responding to my comments... FROM SHAUNA) so...
Let me say this, the cover makes me drool, and the idea of a cookbook that I am going to love and no substitutions and beautiful artwork without just black and white print.... yeah.
Lovin' it.. how about you?
Now i have to add it to every wishlist ever so that I can hopefully get a surprise gift, or a great deal when I earn a gift card.

Here you go.

simple lunch


Sometimes it is simple to be Gluten Free, but cooking a meal for one can be a challenge, so once in awhile a new pot, pan or recipe is great to liven things up.
Here, I use my new Asian themed plates to dish up a burgundy beef steak (broiled burgundy and soy sauce with garlic, salt, pepper) to compliment the yellow and green beans, that mix nicely with the sauteed baby carrots.
enjoy...
