My two favorite things!

Hello Dear Readers! I know you have been waiting with bated breath for another installment of Miss Mollie's Guide to Life!


Bated. Bated breath.

Never fear, my friends, you shall not be disappointed because this week I have TWO new favorite things!

1. My first new favorite thing: Trader Joe's Orange Muscat Champagne Vinegar

I love salad, I do. I always make my own dressing (cheaper, yummier, healthier) but on Monday I was le tired and the thought of making dressing was just too much! So what did I find?



This TJ's vinegar is not super vinegary...and sprinkled on top of salad is a perfect dressing all on it's own. The label also suggests adding it to sparkling water with ice for a nice beverage, which I did with a squeeze of lemon and a little tequila. It was an excellent skinny margarita.

2. My second new favorite thing (thanks Mom): Pumpkin Smoothies

I know that that cup of green stuff doesn't look delicious, but it is. Here's what's in it:
  • 1/2 banana (or whole if it's smallish) - I usually use a frozen one
  • Scoop of raw canned pumpkin
  • Unsweetened almond milk
  • TJ's Power Greens (baby spinach, kale, other stuff...)
  • Pumpkin spice (or cinnamon and nutmeg)
If you are afraid of green you can leave the greens out, but I PROMISE you can't taste them. I usually use a frozen banana but I didn't have any today.

There you go my Dear Readers. Go get it!
