yes subscribers, i will be writing in the xanga this summer...or shall i say attempting to keep up. freshman year is over. this year flew by quicker than i ever thought it would. right now i am at home on the family computer (since my computer decided to die over spring break) in the formal living room avoiding the laundry that needs to be done. it is so nice to be home and away from everything at school. i was more than ready for a break. I think this week home will be long enough to recharge my batteries and then hit the ground running on monday. yesterday my mommy and i went through "the box of recipes" (it was my grandma lois's...the home ec. teacher), and my mommy's favorite cookbooks and i made my own cook book!!! It is really cute and has 40 recipes in it :^). I will be listing its contents for your enjoyment. I CANNOT WAIT to cook when i get back to ocu next week and for the rest of my life come to think of it. So here it goes:
15 smoothie recipes
