GT Express Fan Club

I'm an unofficial member of the GT Express fan club. Are you?

It is SUCH a handy gadget!
And these days, you can find them at Goodwill and Salvation Army.
 Or Ebay (quite cheap)!

This morning, I made my favorite breakfast snack in the GT Express.
It tastes like something from McDonalds - but with a lot less calories (and super inexpensive!).

Here are the ingredients:
1 egg

2 small biscuits (Guess what?  This whole tube was 48 cents at Aldi!)

First, you place the biscuits inside the GT Express.

Then add an egg on top.
Close the gadget - and cook.

For somewhere between 5-6 minutes (depending on how cooked you like everything).
When you are done, it looks like this....

Very portable.  Delicious.  And AWESOME!

Cookin' It Up: Smoothie Style

How was your Halloween? Spooky?
Fun? Silly? Candy-filled? I hope you had a great night!
What are you going to do with your pumpkin?

Do you need a pumpkin-related recipe? I have one for you today.....read on for the details.

I love healthy breakfast smoothies.

They are a great way to start the day.
And then if everything else I eat is "not-so-healthy,"
at least I've started the day out with one good food choice.

You should google: Pumpkin Pie Smoothie.
It's my current breakfast delight.
You'll be amazed at the google results!

These days I am seeing variations of pumpkin pie smoothies on lots of foodie blogs.
They all look delicious!

There are a million ways to make one.

My favorite is:

*1 frozen banana
*1/2 cup canned pumpkin
*almond milk
*pumpkin pie spice

Blend it all up and yum, yum, yum!
