Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday to me!  I turn 27 today and I also celebrate 17 years of being cancer free!  I usually don't do much to celebrate my birthday.  I took a nap and spent too much time on the computer and on Pinterest today.  Go me!  I didn't really cook anything or even attempt to eat very healthy.  It was a day of relaxation and catching up on sleep.

June 6th

I made a pretty disgusting smoothie for breakfast.  I managed to down about a cup of it before I couldn't stand it anymore.  I saw recipes online for oatmeal smoothies, so I decided to try some oat bran in one.  I also added a banana, an orange, yogurt, kale, and some milk.  It was chewy and I got a lot of kale stuck in my teeth.  Not sure if I just didn't let the blender run long enough, or if I should have tried to grind up the oatmeal and kale before adding other ingredients, or maybe those things are better left for a juicer or food processor?
