A chocolate cherry dump cake is in the oven right now.
Amber is starting preschool 4 mornings a week at VIPS starting tomorrow. I'm a little mixed emotion about it but I know and trust everyone at VIPS and I know her time there is going to help her with making the most of her vision.
Saturday is girls night out with some girls at Church and we are going to watch One Night with the King. Haven't seen it before, but it has been on my list for sometime.
I want to learn to make fast healthy cute bento lunches for Amber to take to preschool
I have been successfully keeping a "homemaking binder" (ie- calendar, to do lists, shopping lists and a bunch of other organizational stuff all in ONE organized spot)
Chris graduates seminary this May
I am really looking forward to shopping the day after Thanksgiving this year
I wish I could hire someone to come and help me totally organize my WHOLE house!
I can smell the chocolate cherry dump cake in the oven and its calling me to step away from the computer!
Cory doesn't do dairy too well and I saw this at the store and decided to buy it. I have seen recipes for making almond milk with my vitamixer. This was fortified with calcium and vit D and the oh so important cocoa power. Unfortunately Cory's review was No Thanks! Here is mine:
Tasted like chocolate milk minus most the creaminess and the sugar. If I had to describe chocolate milk I would say chocolately, creamy, and sugary. So to be missing two of the main components of chocolate milk I'd say its a pretty sad alternative. At the same time it didn't taste bad at all and the nutrition label was pretty impressive. I added a little sugar to some for Cory and sampled and I thought it was pretty good. Cory still wasn't a fan, but then again he isn't used to drinking milk or milk substitutes (at least not out of a cup or sippy cup) I thought it tasted enough like milk I wouldn't mind putting it on my cereal and it mixes in great with hot chocolate.
I know almonds are good for you, I know cocoa powder is good for you, and vit D and Calcuim. And this is definitely looking good from the label: 45 calories per cup, 3.5 grams fat (the good kind from nuts), 3 g protien, 1 g fiber, and no sugar. I'll probably buy it again or try and make some myself. I do think the addition of a little sugar would be nice. But I'd rather they leave it unsweetened and let me pick the sweetner of my choice (most likily plain old sugar) instead of doing what almost everyone does and adding in high fructose corn syrup.
