Cucumber Honeydew Melon Smoothie

We all love summer, but some of us hate the heat and all the sweating involved! Something I love making in summer is refreshing smoothies, and I always try to make healthy ones even though I am chocolate smoothie's #1 fan! If you check out my board Skinny and Healthy drinks you'll see some drinks I've saved that look amazing and aren't hard on our waistline. Today I'd like to talk about one specific one I did the other day and it was amazing! And it was so refreshing! My hubby also loved it, so I am definitely doing this recipe again.

It's called "Cucumber Honeydew Melon Smoothie" by dashofeast. The link from the pin is actually not working now, it was ok before but now it just says: Not found. If you have a link to this recipe please let me know!

Just looking at it makes me want to make it again...right now!

The recipe ingredients I made was:

1 cup frozen honeydew melon cut into small pieces

1/2 cup cucumber cut into small pieces (peeled & seeded)

1 teaspoon of lemon juice

1/4 cup plain yogurt (I used greek yogurt)

1 tablespoon honey

You blend all of that up and you get:

I didn't really sit down and decorate the drink, I just wanted to drink it! This Pin was beyond easy! And if you don't have time to wait for the melon to freeze, then throw in some ice cubes! It's refreshing, yummy, and doesn't have a ton of calories!

Easy Tiramisu (Chef Recipe)

Every year for my parent's anniversary I'm in charge of making them a nice cake. And I have tried to start a tradition with this. One year it's my mom's favorite dessert: black forest cake. The following is my dad's favorite: tiramisu. And finally, the third year is a surprise. It sounds complicated but it's really fun to do it this way and a lot easier. The hard part is to find that "perfect" recipe. Whenever it's about a month until their anniversary, I start my Pinterest hunt on that perfect recipe. This year it was my dad's favorite: tiramisu. And so I searched through hundreds of pins until I found one that had everything I wanted. The recipe was fairly easy and I had access to all of the ingredients and it even included a YouTube video which is amazing! And I mean, look at how delicious it looks! I took that image from her website. This pin was taken from Recipe Tin Eats , they have many incredible recipes that I will for ...

Turning trash into treasure: My new TV stand

Does it ever happen to you that you need something but you don't have the money to get it? Or that you don't want to throw something out because you know it has the potential for something way better? Well, both things happened to me with my TV stand. I had just moved into my new apartment which was extremely old and needed a remodeling asap. That's where all of my money went to the endless remodeling. Some of the things I needed to remodel was the kitchen (which is an ongoing project). It literally had a stove and a broken countertop. I went to an app called Wallapop (one of my favs) and then after endlessly searching for some kitchen furniture found one. It was a lot more furniture than what I needed but it was such an amazing price that I said yes to it all. And so then some friends installed the new kitchen cabinets and countertops but naturally, there were a couple of extra ones. Instead of immediately selling them, I thought of ways to use them around the house. ...

TBT: Raw Brownie with Raw Berry Ice Cream

It's TBT! The day where people bring out the most embarrassing pictures from ages ago! But this blog really isn't about that, so my tbt is about that one time I was a Vegan+Rawtarian (I ate everything raw) for a month. It was hard...very hard...very expensive...and very very time-consuming! However, after some days, I felt different, in a good way. And I actually really liked using all the cool recipes I found on Pinterest. Some were delicious while others...well, I wasn't so thrilled about. I'm a big fan of sweets, so I always would look for sweet things to make. One of my favorite desserts is brownies! Gosh, they are so good! But what do they have? Sugar, flour, eggs, milk...all the things I couldn't eat. So I did a bit of Pinterest research and found a recipe for it from a website that really helped me a lot! TheRawtarian was my go-to website for almost all of my recipes and I still do some of them. The recipe I saw was exactly the one I was dreaming about...
