I hope that everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend. My husband and I went to our cabin for Fri and Sat. Then on Sunday, my daughter-in-law asked if we could tend the kids while they went to a funeral. So we were very spontaneous and I ended up having a sleepover with some of the grandkids. We made a fire in the back yard and made smores, played hide and seek, and red light…green light. Then we made grandma’s popcorn (as one of my grandson’s calls it,) because I put real butter on it! We ended the night by watching “Wreck it Ralph”. The kids were all so good and we really had a fun time. The next morning some of the boys went with their dad and Grandpa up to scout out a hunting property with their Ranger and had a great time. The girls went to Gardner Village shopping, then to some fabric stores to look for baby fabric for this new little one that is coming soon. We had a picnic at a fun park and then to end the afternoon the kids went swimming. It was a fun spontaneous day. Sometimes those are even better than the ones that you plan out so well, don’t you think?
I think that summer has now officially started! :)
So what better way to start off the summer than with a milkshake?
This milkshake is made with a fresh strawberry sauce from Our Best Bites. It is a great way to use up strawberries if you buy too many and cannot eat them fast enough. Once the sauce is made you can use it or freeze it for later! It is perfect for milkshakes or you can just put the sauce on ice cream, brownies, eat it out of the jar, or however you like it! I love this recipe because I just cannot seem to use up my strawberries fast enough and this way I can have fresh strawberry sauce any time that I want it!
I don’t really measure when I make a milkshake, I just put the ice cream in my blender first, then the fruit or whatever flavorings you are using. Mix it well then add milk until it is the thickness that you want. For this milkshake, I did use 1/3 cup of the strawberry sauce and one banana. This made two tall glasses.
I love this time of the year when the fruit looks good in the markets and it is starting to come on in the gardens. There is nothing better than fresh fruits and veggies!
What is your favorite milkshake? I tend to pick the fruity ones, but yet I never turn down chocolate! So…Maybe I need to make a chocolate strawberry shake! (I might just have to give that a try!)
Hope your having a great day! Love Ya!

I think you are the second blog I’ve seen use this same strawberry sauce. I have tons of strawberries from going strawberry picking…I think I need to make it. It must be good. Thanks so much for linking up at the Real Family Fun link party! Hope to see you next week.
