Delicio Recipe List

Every morning I enjoy a smoothie and I truly love coming up with new versions of my favorite morning drink. This morning I went through my refrigerator and freezer to see what new concoction I could come up with. After careful inspection I decided on 1/2 cup Chobani fat-free vanilla yogurt, 1/2 cup diet orange Sunkist, 1/2 of a large frozen banana and 1 cup of frozen strawberry slices.  The end result~Deliciousness! Be sure and try this combination, I guarantee it to please your taste buds and your belly. "I never met a smoothie I didn't love."~Adele Forbes

I cruise food blogs to the point that if I were getting paid for it I would be rich. It's an incurable addiction for me. This recipe comes from a very funny lady and I always enjoy reading her posts.

I have lost 4 lbs. in 6 days following Weight Watchers Points + system. I am faithfully keeping a journal, logging in every morsel of food that has entered my mouth. It is working.

Thai food flips my trigger! The tastes, the smells, the visual aspects.....all of these rolled into one makes me a very happy camper. One of my best friends has a new girlfriend and she is part American, part Thai.
