It's begun...

I have not been able to stop thinking about my new FAVORITE blog!

"Everyday Food Storage"

I picked up some Nesquik today to try out some of Crystal's recipes. Let me say, I normally don't buy Nesquik because my kids would drink a gallon a day of chocolate milk. But, with using my "food storage" dry milk, I had to do it! I started out by doubling the batch of Chocolate Milk and disguised it by putting it in a "normal" gallon milk container. That way, the kids will just see the chocolate milk and want it! I need to wait until tonight because it say to give it 4-6 hours, and I am going to do just that!

I just finished making the "Chocolate Milk Shake w/out Ice cream". I am eating it right now, and being as picky as I am- I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Well, I now have our new Friday night treat!!! It is chocolatey, creamy, and really good. I made the exact recipe, and I love it! Next time, I will be trying it with banana and a Tablespoon of PB!

Chocolate Milk Shake with NO ice cream:-makes two 8-ounce cups
This one I know is hard to believe but it SO delicious! I don't think I'll ever make the kind with ice cream again!

1/2 C. Water
3/4 C. Dry Powdered Milk
1/3 C. Chocolate Powder
2 C. Ice

Layer ingredients in your blender as listed and blend until smooth. Serve immediately! Spruce it up with half of a banana for fun!

If you want a great variation, that tastes like it is a Jamba Juice "Peanut Butter Moo'd" then add one banana cut into 1 inch slices and 2 spoonfuls of peanut butter. The peanut butter and banana make it even smoother and add such a great complimentary taste.
