(a) I have been busy cooking food for the freezer, for consumption post-baby. I have several draft posts related to these items, but will not publish until the food has actually been tasted and vouched for.
(b) I have been repeating recipes, as per usu.
(c) MY STOVE AND OVEN WERE OUT OF COMMISSION for 5 days. Such catastrophe set me back on the freezer food front and the blogging front.
Order has since been restored to my kitchen.
I am trying to gain weight, likely in vain, for baby's sake. As such, Olivia and I have been enjoying a weekly strawberry milkshake. Weekly, rather than daily, because I can only afford so much Haagen-Dazs. Why not cheaper ice cream, you ask? Read the ingredients on any other tub of ice cream and there is your answer.
I make milkshakes out of my head, but here's a recipe* for a delicious strawberry milkshake:
1 tub Haagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup yogurt (vanilla, sweetened plain, strawberry)
1/2 cup milk
1 cup strawberries, fresh or frozen
If you have time, put your glasses in the freezer first to frost them up. Blend first three ingredients in blender and pour 1/3-1/2 mixture into glasses. Add strawberries to remaining ice cream mixture and blend again. Pour over top of vanilla mixture in glasses for a pretty layered look. Add a straw and drink up!
Makes 2 large or 3 small servings.
