We have an 8 year old daughter who is in grade 3 and I tell you some days it is like she is 15. Boy she can be a handful - love her to death but she certainly has learned how to push our buttons and than some. I am sure anyone with kids can relate to what I am saying. It does make me wonder what will come as she gets older and more "mature".
Here finally is the recipe using the blueberries that I told you about. It is yummy. I haven't had a chance to try it with other frozen fruit but I think it would be equally yummy. It is quick to zip up and quick to eat.
Blueberry Chocolate Frozen Treat
1 1/4 cups frozen blueberries
2 tbsps cacao powder
2 tbsps maple syrup
1 tbsp almond butter (could most likely use another nut butter in place of almond)
Blend all ingredients in a food processor and eat immediately.
It is really good and if you are craving ice cream but can't find any or can't find any without dairy this should do it for you. Besides it being better for you and your family. Try it out and let me know.

It's been a while....
So, I realized it has been awhile since I have posted anything. I do have the intent of posting this bludeberry ice cream thing I have been making soon. It is so good and I think it would be good with other types of fruit. I actually bought a mixed frozen berry bag and have yet to try it but will soon and will let you know how it turns out.
We have been busy - G has started back to school and is in grade 3. I can't believe it and I don't think she can believe it. She commented that she wondered who her big buddy would be this year. I told her that she may be a big buddy for a kindergarten student - she was surprised to say the least.
We have been walking each night and trying to work in the garden. Darling hubby has started to create and make all of the decorations for the halloween party. We had one last year for G and several of her friends, she is expecting it to be better this year. So, hubby is already working on it. He has been busy paper macheing, painting and gluing. I usually take care of the inside of the house with some healp and he deals more with the outside of the house. Who knows how many G will invite this year. Last year I think we had 13 or so....it was fun.
I started an on line school course today. I think it will be good. I will have a better sense once I finally get my text book. It only goes through to early December so it will go by fast.
I can't belive it is fall already - you can feel it in the air every day now. How fast life travels by.
I will try to remember to find the blueberry thing to post so you can try it. Its a good alternative to ice cream if dairy is an issue for you.
