Banana Pudding Milkshake

Banana Pudding Shake with Blue Belle
Today I have an amazingly simple treat for you!  Growing up, I absolutely LOVED banana pudding in the summer time! Last year I tried Chick-Fil-A’s Banana Pudding Milkshake and was absolutely in love, but of course, they only had it for a limited time.  So this spring I found myself basking in the glory of Zaxby’s Banana Pudding Milkshake, which is just as equally delicious!  I now hear that it will be a permanent menu item at Zaxby’s….and indeed, they’ve just now brought back the shake at Chick-Fil-A (again, for a limited time).

But the other day I decided that I wanted to make my own.  I remembered trying some banana pudding ice cream by Blue Belle years ago, so I went to Wal-Mart with high hopes and was very excited to find this ice cream in my freezer. Yay!  Now I can have a banana pudding milkshake any time I want, and I get a lot more shake for my buck!

By the way, I made this shake using my Ninja! That thing is awesome!

Carrot Cupcakes

 

Well, I don’t know what the weather’s like in your neighborhood, but we’ve been seeing some snow flurries around here today.  We rarely get snow here anyway, and so any time we get it in the springtime, it’s very unusual.  And to top it off, this week is spring break for most of the kids and not to mention we’ve got Easter coming up.  Needless to say, it doesn’t feel like either!  But today we’re going to try to get in to the spring and Easter spirit with a sweet treat!  Carrot cake is a great dessert for this time of year.  And what could be better than carrot cake?  Carrot Cupcakes, of course!

Peanut Butter Bon Bons

Peanut Butter Bon Bons

 

This no-bake recipe uses easy-to-find ingredients and makes a huge batch, making it perfect for feeding a crowd. Best of all, if you have to cater to a large group with a variety of food restrictions, it’s easy to make this recipe gluten free and dairy free – but nobody will be able to tell the difference as they come back for second and third helpings. All you need is a plastic bag, a few bowls, a freezer or fridge-freezer and voila! Be careful though, or more peanut butter bon bons will end up in your stomach than on the serving platter – the completely addictive flavour, satisfying texture and small serving size is a dangerous combination.
