Try it out! - 5 Minute Ice Cream

*crème glacée / glace = ice cream
This recipe is perfect for July since it is national ice cream month! Yay! We all scream for ICE SCREAM! It is really simple to make and tastes yummy.

FYI
-I have used this recipe 3x.
-I got this recipe from allrecipes.com , here's the link: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/five-minute-ice-cream/

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of sugar
2/3 cup of heavy cream
1 (10 oz) bag of frozen sliced strawberries or any other fruit of your choice

Directions:
1. Combine the frozen strawberries or fruit of choice and sugar in a food processor or blender. Process until the fruit is roughly chopped. With the processor running, slowly pour in the heavy cream until fully incorporated. Serve immediately, or freeze for up to one week.

WID(what I do):
-I put the ice cream blend in small custard cups to freeze. Take out in a couple of hours and enjoy! I always have to do this because I over blend the fruit and it has a more liquid consistency.

Try It Out!-Mango and Banana Smoothie Pudding Recipe

Hey!

I recently started feeling pain towards the back of my mouth..so I went to the dentist and it looks like my wisdom teeth will be coming out soon. So I've been obsessed researching everything to do with wisdom teeth. I was really interested in what I could eat after the procedure. Here's a recipe I tried out so I have some yummy options when the time comes. 

This recipe was really simple and easy. There was no way of not following it!

                                                                     

You'll need the following:

1 banana

1 mango

1/2 cup of coconut milk

What to do:

1) Peel banana and slice it up
2) Peel mango and chop it up
3) Place in a container or freezer bag. Freeze overnight.
4) Take your sliced up fruit and the half cup of coconut milk and blend until it is smooth.

The pudding ends up looking like this. 

Here is the recipe I followed: Mango and Banana Smoothie Pudding Recipe

This is a great for hot days like today and the ones to come!

Just Keep Pedaling

So I have been wanting this bike for years (no joke) but did not purchase it because I did not want to be lugging it around every time we moved. The bike I'm talking about is the Citizen folding bike. I saw it on The View ; I think it was Father's Day gift ideas. I was like "I want that bike". So we (E & S) finally got our bikes on June 5th, a perfect early birthday present. :) :) Our birthday is June 10.

Unpacking

It has arrived! :)

Pedaling
I love that we can unfold our bikes in a matter of minutes. Less than two or even in one minute. It truly is easy. I don't have to buy a bike rack for the car. It fits in the backseat or in the trunk. Yesterday we biked along a canal on a multi-use pathway. I loved seeing people outside, enjoying themselves on bikes, walking, jogging, or/and running. There were couples, friends, families, and some cyclists training.

Cost
I would say that the total price is worth it. Honestly I wouldn't put a price on a bike. #Priceless! But let's talk numbers.... I got a lot of extras and upgraded the saddle bringing my total to a whopping $321.  Upgrades and options are extra plus the shipping fee (about $40). The base price for the (Miami) model we got is $199, there is a cheaper model (Tokyo) with 16" wheels instead of the 20" wheels.

Extras that I chose to get:

-Folding bike basket (I always wanted a bike with a basket)

-Water holder (comes with plastic water bottle)

-Carrying bag (perfect if/for traveling)

-Upgraded saddle (definitely comfortable)

This is my bike! Got my green! :P -S

Joyeux Noël---- Merry Christmas! >GIFT GUIDE

Bonjour!
It's been a while, okay a long time. But I'm back! Susy's back!

Well Christmas is just around the corner!
Love it! The winter layers, twinkling lights, festive decor, and the yummy food that the season brings. Tamale time! Sorry got carried away. Let's go shopping! Here's some suggestions and some examples of what to get those characters in your life.

That REBEL GIRL in your life. The one that loves the drama. The one you hate to love.
_Buy them something they can break! :P
I bought a Kate Spade New York SAYTHEWORD mug that is pink and reads "skirt the rules" in the inside. Also a Roobee by mara-mi notebook that reads "Bad Decisions Make Good Stories" in gold foil letters against a craft/cardboard cover. Both bought at HomeGoods for under $20! See for yourself.

Mug & Notebook

For that GIRLY GIRL FASHIONISTA. The one that CAN'T look like a boy or like I like to call it androgynous. The one that always does her nails.
_Buy them something cute from a local boutique. They are bound to have something unique.

For that GRINCH!
_Nothing but a "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!" :)

E:

I would say making it all about them. Think about their favorite color. And basing everything you buy for them in that color. It will look great!

Get personal and make something for them.
Showing that person you put more thought or time will make them feel more special.

Xmas Pretzel Buttons

Taking the time to bake some cookies, bread, or whatever treat you wish...
For some co-workers I made Christmas Pretzel Buttons. Not only are they cute, but they are http://allrecipes.com/recipe/chocolate-pretzel-treats/
addicting too! Here's a link to the recipe:


Personalized candles are great too! I found this idea on Pinterest. It's really easy too!
Below is one I made for a co-worker who is an alumni and fan of ASU football. I placed their last name at the bottom...(They loved it!)

****Don't forget to use Ebates when shopping online! Cashback baby! :)
