Purple Monster & Apples Galore!

HAPPY FRIDAY! : )

Hooray for another weekend! Thanks so much for all the comments and feedback lately, you are all wonderful, and shout out to all my newest blogging friends!! : )

I found out today that my parents are coming down this weekend. I haven't seen them since Christmas so I'm excited! (We live 6 hours away from each other). Therefore, I will probably not be around the blogging world very much this weekend ... but I'll do my best to keep up with your blogs (just don't get mad at me if I don't comment much this weekend ; ).

So, yesterday I decided to make a green monster with some flowering kale ... and since some of the leaves are pink/purple it ended up being a purple monster!! haha.
I used almond milk, little bit of water, flowering kale, a banana, and 2 packets of Truvia. This is my first time using kale, and it was really good! Problem is, I drink these right up way too fast! haha.

So today as I was picking up the kitchen, I noticed some of our apples going bad so I decided to make something with them. I just kinda threw somethin' together not knowing how it would turn out. Basically, I just chopped up four apples, mixed them with about a cup of original Ezekiel cereal, some agave nectar, some almond milk, and some cacao nibs and baked it for about 25 minutes. It turned out too dry, but would taste very good with some greek yogurt!

So, how many apples is too many to have in a household of two people??? haha. We have this habit of buying a bunch of apples when they're on sale and apparently they've been on sale a lot lately because we ended up with way too many! I'm not even sure how it happened. But as I was going through apples, here's the pathetic outcome of apples in our house ...Plus ...Plus one more bag just like the white one above equals approximately ... 65 apples! Ha, I had no idea we had that many until I actually roughly counted. (Though I must add Erik typically eats around 4 apples a day and I eat at least 2, sometimes 3 ... therefore, they will not go to waste!)

I told Erik to guess how many he thought we had and he said "30" ... ha, just a little off ; ) Good thing we both love apples!

Here's a random quote for the day that I liked ...

In giveaway news, Erica at Itzy's Kitchen is giving away some homemade Cinnamon Sweet Bread in honor of her one year blogging anniversity ... yum!

And just out of curiosity ... What's your absolute favorite fruit?

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Friday and weekend ... sorry if I'm not around much! : )
