Orange Cream Shake

I'll go ahead and say it...you're welcome!!! Today I made the most wonderful orange cream shake! It was simple and delicious and fresh and perfect on a hot summer day. All you need is...

2 cps vanilla ice cream

2 cps fresh orange juice

4 Tbsp sugar (I used Splenda)

I peeled 8 oranges. I find it best to use a sharp knife to peel it so that you get all of the bitter yellow skin off.

Then throw the oranges in your Ninja! And if you don't have a Ninja, you're just going to have to go get one!

Pulse until you have fresh orange juice!!

There's going to be a lot of pulp, and I don't like pulp much so I strained mine, it's up to you though...

Told ya there was a lot of pulp!

And there you go - fresh orange juice!

Now scoop out some of your vanilla ice cream and throw it into the blender with orange juice and sugar.

Wa-la! The best orange cream shake you'll ever have! SO GOOD! Told you it was simple! Now go make one!

Mother's Day 2010

This year for Mother's Day we had over Bobby's side of the family (Vicki, David, Lindsey, Billy and Nana) on Saturday night for Mother's Day. Then on Sunday we had over my mom and dad. We were able to enjoy the evenings outside on the porch and feasted on chicken spaghetti, homeade yeast rolls, garlic green beans and salad wedges with homeade honey mustard and ranch. And we drank about 3 gallons of fruit tea! On Saturday Lindsey brought over a FABULOUS grape salad and German coconut cake for dessert! Yum! Our moms are amazing and deserve so much more. Maybe one day we can upgrade to Mother's Day Vacations :) LG
