Breakfast Smoothies

Hi,

I don't like to eat breakfast but my Aunt Gayle bought me a mini blender so I can make smoothies in the morning before I go to school. They tell me breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So since it's so important, I decided I'd have a Cereal smoothie in the morning.

First you need your favorite frozen fruit, I like mangos.
Than some milk, whole grain cereal like cheerio's or mini wheats would do
Lots of Ice, I cheat and put a little sugar in mine. Put it in the blender and let it go. And than you have a breakfast smoothie. You can put what you want in it. I don't like to much in mine. It might be a little thicker than usual because of the cereal but the cereal gives you substance that's what my mom says.

New Year's Day Dinner

Happy New Year,

OK so we started the black eye peas last night we picked through them to get out any rocks and peas that didn't look good. We washed them very well. Put them in a pot with a smoked turkey wing, cut up some onions, put seasoning salt and filled the pot up with water and put it on the flame for about 3 hrs. Mom also decided she wanted a pot roast so she cleaned the meat seasoned it and cut up onions and put it in the crock pot and slowed cooked it. it was still cooking when I got up this morning smells really good in here. We still have to clean the chicken and we're going to double dip meaning we are going to take egg and milk and flour the chicken let it sit for a minute or two and than dip the chicken in the flour again. Were going to put some herbs in the canola oil and let the oil soak up the flavor and than try to take it out it's hard to get sage out but she'll try to do her best. And than we are going to drop the chicken like it's hot in the oil. Instead of cornbread we are going to make apple cinnamon muffins. My brother isn't really into this kind of food so we are going to make spinach and bow tie fetticini alfredo for him he love Italian food. Have a great New Year's Day.
