Making My List... Goodie Baskets for Special Guests

Making my list...checking it twice

I have good friends,

and they're very, very nice.
So I'm thinking of things that
will be unique gifting ideas this year.
I also want to have things on hand in case anyone happens to visit and stay over.

check out all the sales and specials stores are having!

gift of mine to give

and receive!

magazines too!

add a little song

and may your heart be light...

and if someone special decides

to stay...

new cozy slippers,

a magazine on the nightstand,

and a candle to remember the time spent together...perfect!

and stay...just a

little bit longer.

Banana Kiwi Smoothie

1 ½ frozen bananas
1 kiwi
½ cup vanilla yogurt
Splash of milk
Drizzle of honey
How to make it:

Blend and serve.
Garnish with a clementine  or orange slice.

there's one idea!    I love fruit. I shop in Asian markets. I try new things.
have you sampled Dragon Fruit yet? it's colorful and delicious.

sort of like a kiwi with bits of teeny edible seeds. I'm big on smoothies too.
I can make them for an on the go breakfast, lunch or dinner.
with the nice weather here - check out what's available near you - local markets, Amish markets have some cool things - if you have an Asian market they can have fantastic buys ( limes 10 for $1, Fuji apples .69/lb )

layer it up

serve it up

dish it up
