Trying to Find the Cheer

As much as I love my green smoothies, there is just something so delicious and refreshing about pink smoothies. This is just bananas, strawberries and hemp seeds. It tastes almost like a milkshake since strawberries are at their best right now. And the color makes me really happy too. I need all the help I can get lately with extra cheer.

I've also been enjoying carrot, orange and ginger juice. I always feel energized and a little peppier after drinking this combination. And I was just reading that vitamin A and C are both good for hypothyroidism, so even more reason to drink this combo.

This picture is not the prettiest at all. I tried and tried to make it look pretty and it just wasn't happening. I find casserole type dishes are the hardest to make pretty. I had some almonds soaking that I had forgotten all about. I've been wanting to test a recipe for artichoke heart almond Alfredo, but I used my gluten free pasta this week for my olive pasta salad. I did have potatoes of course, so I made an almond cream sauce and used it to make vegan scalloped potatoes. I threw a handful of frozen peas in just because I had them and I wanted to use them. It was kind of like Alfredo potatoes! It was pretty tasty for a thrown together dish. I was so upset about Trump's latest assault on the earth yesterday I'm surprised they turned out. I wrote down the recipe, but it needs a few tweaks before I share. We all know it will get tweaked with all the potatoes I eat!

Here's Kanye sleeping in her favorite box. She loves it. She's the only one who loves the little blanket and box combo. She's such a pretty little one!
