Recipe #71... Skol Vikings Shake

What better way to cheer on your favorite NFL Team than slurping a team spirit smoothie?  It's a win-win if you ask me.  Note: We shook it up with this shake in August 2013.

Recipe #70... Summery Strawberry Smoothie... Summer's bounty in a glass...

Note: These Anthropologie towels make me so happy!  Cool pastels and energizing oranges can make all the difference in the duties of dish drying.  I accidentally coordinated the color of this smoothie with my pink towel... enjoy this refreshingly sweet strawberry chameleon...
