I've been seeing super reflective lenses cropping up everywhere lately, and I must admit I am 100% on board with this trend. I love the metallic element the mirrored finish adds to a basic pair of sunnies, and bonus points that you can be a people-watching creeper without anyone ever knowing. I bought this clear and silver mirrored pair that looks way more expensive than they actually were for a cool $14 at Urban Outfitters this past weekend (but they aren't online, booo!), and haven't taken them off since. Here are a few other pairs I'm digging if y'all want to jump on the bandwagon!
I've got work, work and then some more work so there won't be too much downtime for me this weekend. Maybe on Sunday we can sneak up to my parents house and take a dip in the pool (didn't do that all summer....that's the one good thing about fall basically being non-existent here in Austin). Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Leaving y'all with some fun weekend reading...enjoy the winks (weekend links)!
Imagine this all too common scenario in our household, if you will. I had a half container of almost-expired Greek yogurt in the fridge, a psychotic craving for something sweet, time working against me, and a broken oven. Cookies were out. Cakes take too long and are messy. I get annoyed that we don't have any popsicles left. All I want is some ice creeeaaammm, geez. Then bing...peanut butter fro yo to the rescue! A full 20 minutes later, John and I were eating a tangy, creamy, and protein-packed frozen yogurt drizzled with chocolate and sprinkles. A quick and easy dessert after a busy day at work.
Homemade Peanut Butter Greek Frozen Yogurt
Ingredients
2 cups plain Greek yogurt (I used non-fat)
1/2 cup milk of choice (I used almond milk)
Generous 1/2 cup peanut butter (or preferred nut butter)
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup sugar
Directions
1.The night before you make this, put your ice cream making bowl in the freezer. We keep ours in there 24/7 for emergency situations like this. ;)
2. Stir all ingredients except optional chips in a medium bowl until mixture is completely smooth, and transfer to a chilled ice cream maker.
2. Churn according to the appliance
directions. If you want, now is the time to add any chocolate chips or other mix-ins into the batter.
3. Eat
immediately as soft-serve, or freeze in an airtight container for a half
hour if you want a firmer texture.
*Note: If you don’t have an ice cream
machine, you can freeze the batter in a tupperware and stir every 1/2 hour. It will be a little lumpier, but it will still taste good!
