Honey Strawberry Milkshake

June 29, 2017 — Leave a comment

Three years ago I planted strawberry plants and this year has been their best year yet. Strawberries are ideal for any novice gardener as they are easy to maintain and come up each and every year without you needing to break a sweat… 🙂

I’ve been able to glean some very nice berries that I flash freeze immediately upon picking from my garden. Having fresh frozen berries on hand are perfect when you want to whip up a quick smoothie or milkshake and I did just that last night with this Honey Strawberry Milkshake.  It’s the perfect after dinner dessert or mid-day pick me up. Get into the recipe below:

Honey Strawberry Milkshake

Ingredients

5-10 frozen organic strawberries
1/3 cup dairy or non-dairy milk
3 tablespoons raw honey + pinch of sea salt
2 standard icecream scoops of ProYo frozen yogurt or vanilla icecream

Preparation

  1. Add all ingredients into a blender in the order listed and process until smooth
  2. Add more liquid if needed to blend. Transfer to a serving glass.
  3. Serve immediately.

My family and I are headed south later this evening and I couldn’t be more thrilled. An old fashioned road trip where the journey there is just as important as the final destination. We plan to hotel along the way, sight-see, and just enjoy each others company. I for one am looking forward to unwinding, unplugging, relaxing, reading, and catching up with family.

If you’re new to the blog then you might not know about the Gluten Free On the Go series.  If you’re a regular then you should remember that I’m all about healthy and tummy happy snacking; when you’re on the road. Gluten free while traveling can be as easy as pie so as long as you put in a little time, forethought, and planning. Continue reading

La Casa| Restaurant Review

August 13, 2015 — 1 Comment

It’s been my personal mission all summer to enjoy and explore Rochester. Since moving back in May 2013, I’ve been trying to relearn how to love all that my hometown has to offer. Often times the best things are right in your backyard and this most certainly rings true of La Casa Restaurant. Located less than two miles away from me (literally on the same street) on the corner of South Clinton and Alexander, La Casa is a gem hiding in plain sight.
