After a long day of cooking, errand running, doggie watching and working at the studio, I was ready for a cocktail.
I knew I needed something strong. A good, stiff drink…
Hey, wait a second. That’s not a cocktail. Or is it? It sure had me feelin’ good! Just the same as yesterday. A simple and delicious end of the day treat!
Don’t worry. There are many more “cocktails” to come in the very near future. Today I bought some very ripe bananas at the store, chopped them up and froze them. Just thinkin’ ahead.
And I plan to reuse the plastic baggies. Being green is so…well, literally green in my case!
Off to play with S and K’s oldest children, Jack and Milly. They get to hang with Aunt Courtney tonight 
Even their dogs are yogis!
Night guys!

Yayyy for green monsters!
I just noticed on the side of your page you bookmarked Bon Iver. I love his music. It took me a few listens to get into, but now it’s one of my absolutely favorites. I listened to it today, in fact. So peaceful. And a little depressing.
Great idea with the bananas! If you could see all the unidentifiable brown things that once resembled bananas on my counter right now, you’d understand my excitement.
Beautiful GREEN monster!! And I love being prepared, great idea with the nanners ;)
great cocktail!
ha, the yogi dogs are adorable!
Good thinking ahead with the banana baggies!
Haha, a very healthy and nutricious cocktail! ;)
Have fun with the puppies! They can be your newest yoga students! :)
I go through weird stages where sometimes all I want is a green smoothie and other times nope! All i want is oatmeal!
Hi! I read your blog pretty regularly & wanted to give you a tip on banana freezing! If you cut them into slices and put them in a single layer on a cookie sheet or big plate, you can put store them all in a tupperware after they are frozen and they won’t stick together. That way you won’t have to deal with plastic bags either. =) “IQF” fruit: individually quick frozen! Have a great day.
I buy bananas that are ripe for freezing too, I also do strawberries and blueberries its good to stock up for when they are not in season!
Sindy,
Thanks for the tip! I will have to try that.
aww cute dogs..
yea its a good idea to chop up and freeze bananas ahead of time..makes life so much easier eh? lol
GMS = a good drug…the best you can get ;)
i can never get mine that smooth! the color is beautiful.
love the pups :)
I’m so glad you showed how you freeze your bananas! I’m a total doofus and just stuck mine in the freezer last night (skin and all) and needless to say, I couldn’t get it peeled. I had to defrost it in the micro for a few seconds which turned it into a nasty mess but I still made my Green Monster and couldn’t tell that I had put a mushy banana in there!
The puppies are adorable!
