CHERRY CHRISTMAS SMOOTHIE


This time of year your fruit doesn't seem to last as long. In our house when things start to get a bit soft it gets thrown in the blender.  We are fortunate to have a cherry farm near by that sells the biggest, fattest cherries I have ever eaten. Super delicious. I do need do invest in one of those cherry thingy's that removes the pits as that was a bit of a messy process. Note to one self, never where a white top whilst preforming this excersize again. End result......A super healthy and delicious smoothie enjoyed by the family.

To Blog Or Not To Blog

Well here I am!!!

 I have finally decided to take the leap and turn my facebook page into a BLOG. I am scared by this process as I have attempted this before with out much success. I have asked lots of questions, with the answers not making much sense and always blaming my time management as another issue! So here I am by myself.........writing a blog.
 I find when I apply things myself it seems to make more sense, people can tell me things over and over, but to actually physically do it for myself this sounds like my best options.
 So in saying all this please bear with me as I iron out bugs, work out how to submit recipes and photo's and generally blog about my passion in the kitchen. I hope that you will visit regularly and embark on my food journey. I do believe that sometime soon things will fall in to place for me and I can take this all too a new level and I hope you will be here with me for the ride!
