Middle of the week has arrived and what a week it has been.  Can you believe I woke up to snow yesterday – unbelievable!!  Luck may have it, I decided to park the car in the driveway the night before instead of the garage.   I didn’t use the garage because I just put gas in the car and the fumes can be unbearable.  I did not think for a second that I would have to scrape snow off the car before heading to the office.  Such a disappointment.

In brighter news, Shelby received the first ever zesty apron and she said it is “AWESOME”.  Thanks Shelby.  I hope you get lots of use out of it.  I am going to create a page where I can display all the images of people who bought zesty gear.  I am so excited!

Now, onto the recipe, how about a healthy chocolate monkey?  I am a huge fan!  I started making these a little while ago but just realized that I should have shared this quick recipe with you.  The ingredients are quite simple and easy to find.  The chocolate comes from “chocolate milk“, either 1% or Soy and the monkey comes from a banana.  I also like to add a heaping scoop of protein, flax seeds and a dollop of plain yogurt for thickness.

Next time you are in a hurry, need a chocolate fix or just craving a pick me up… try this monkey on for size.

Happy Easter to you! I hope you had a great weekend. For our family, the Easter egg hunt was a lot of fun and the food was great as well.  Easter morning is a nice relaxing time to spend with the family.  We like to enjoy a slow pace breakfast then hunt for Easter eggs that the Easter bunny dropped off!

Today, I thought I would share with you a couple of new renditions of the super star toast that I posted a little while ago.

This concoction is a great way to play around with toast combinations and add variety to the everyday breakfast.
