Sombrero cookies

Everyday the boys and I will be learning about Mexico. Today is a food craft. It's simple just make some sugar cookies then you will put frosting around the rim of it we used lime frosting. Add sprinkles a candy drop for the top now you have a sombrero cookie. It was really messy sprinkles everywhere cats swimming in it. Godzilla really is the demon cat sometimes. He was rolling around in the sprinkles on the kitchen floor licking himself it was insane! We still had a lot of fun cooking.  Christopher and Justin loves to be in the kitchen with me whipping up something new everyday. Justin's day to cook is Friday can't wait to see what he will be cooking to celebrate Mexico. Happy Cinco de Mayo! !

Something to try

 In light of Cinco de Mayo try some guacamole. I make it all the time Justin loves it. I don't have a picture because by the time I made it then took it to the table it was already gone. Justin bugging me in the kitchen as a few chips go missing. Never fails that and salsa doesn't ever last long. We are in Day 4  of celebrating Mexican Heritage Month. It's so nice when we are studying something as a family it is enjoyed by everyone. Just a fun fact did you know there are 19 million people living in Mexico City. That is twice as many people who live in New York according to the book we read last night. That is a lot of people. There are 56 native languages spoken in Mexico. Just rambling today just thought I would share. If you are going out please be safe don't drink too many margarita's. Have fun dance laugh just love the day ahead.

Smoothie of the Day

I love my smoothie's thought I would share this one.
Ingredients:
-A handful of ice cubes
-A handful of strawberries
- 1 cup of almond milk (milk)
A dash of cinnamon and pumpkin powder.
-honey to taste add as much as you want or as little. 
-A scoop of my shredz protein powder Cinnabon. (my secret ingredient)
This smoothie turned out fluffy and smooth.  I need a little bit of a change from my normal smoothie which I add the above but also add spinach and change up to chocolate peanut butter protein powder from Shredz.com when I need to have  something sweet. I also blend it with my Ninja Blender a little longer just to make sure the strawberries are mixed well. I love my Ninja it's the only thing that can break down the ice. This makes up about five cups total.  Have a smoothie day!
