How do you keep life exciting? What do you do that makes life fun?

I’m always looking for new things to try, rearrange, and explore. I never want to be bored. How about you?

Today I had fun playing with our new Vitamix 5200. Think of a blender on steroids with several speed variables, with the highest levels spinning so fast that the friction causes the contents in the carafe to heat up after several minutes. This is a cool new toy for the whole family to enjoy.

I made tortilla soup with tomatoes, a red pepper, carrots, cilantro, chicken, rice, garlic, onions, lime and cumin with salt and pepper to taste. I just threw in everything I had and in 10 minutes I has warm, delicious, healthy and savory soup!

When I picked up Juliana from school, we made a date with the Vitamixer. We headed to Sprouts to pick up fresh and frozen smoothie ingredients. Our after school snack was also a cooking experiment and entertainment.

It’s the little things in life that make me happy.

Tomorrow we’ll try milkshakes!
