The Daily Balance

Good morning! (Note to new readers: WELCOME! Just wanted to let all of you know that the site makes a lot more sense if you start here and read a bit about me.)

For those of you who are super perceptive, you’ll notice that I FINALLY added a link to my RSS feed. You can find it under my search bar. Also, I’ll be updating the ‘Featured Recipes’ section of the blog, so be on the lookout for that!

OK, now onto the fun stuff! Since I’m leaving for a week (San Francisco readers — let me know if you’d be interested in a meet-up!), my parents had the Mister and I over for dinner last night. My mom, knowing me oh so well, put together a delightful treat (she must want a shiny souvenir!) that made me want to tap dance.

…or ride a giant strawberry.

Yep, she made… strawberry shortcake! And since this is MAMA Daily Balance after all, you KNOW that is was healthified! (and now you get the pink floppy hat reference )

Strawberry shortcake parfait

Goblet contains: Angel Food cake, strawberries, low-fat strawberry cheesecake frozen yogurt and all-natural whipped cream. In the words of my dear friend, VeggieGirl — HOLY YUM!

I’m off to get this crazy day started! See you all later for ‘Work It’ Wednesday!
