Day Number 99

There was a storm coming in while we were having family night. We had paused the movie we were watching so Jon could make Milkshakes (he makes the absolute best) and I happened to look out the window and notice the colors outside and I HAD to take a photo or so.


 the first and last are the most accurate on colors. for some reason I couldn't get the middle one to come out just right.    :(

Drink anyone?

 As the kids and I were walking home from school yesterday I contemplated  what sort of cool special beverage could I concoct for the four of us once we got home?  I started thinking about what I had in my fridge that might possibly go together. Then it hit me. I had Drinks left over from Bella's birthday party that were still unopened. So I told the kids I would make them a special drink when we got home and this is what I came up with:


Doesn't it look delicious?  Well, Thats because it is! Wanna know how I made it? Of course you do! And it's your lucky day because I will tell you! Now normally I leave the food blogging to my mom, Marye' Audet-White. However, I AM her daughter so I have been known to follow in her footsteps at times!


Ingredients:
*Seagram's Gingerale *Dole Orange Strawberry Banana Juice
 (You'll find it in the section that contains the cooled  juices, teas and punches)
*Sliced Strawberries with sugar added.
(freezer aisle with  the cool whip and other frozen fruits)
* Bananas

First I combined the gingerale and juice 40% gingerale 60% juice into a 12 oz cup. No exact measurements here I make everything by taste.  I added 2 tbsp of sliced strawberries (with juice). Stir it up. Take a banana, peel it and slice 4-8 pieces of banana straight into the cup.

There you go! A yummy summertime treat right? I think next time I might make a couple of changes. Honestly, I would love to try this with a good organic gingerbeer! Then perhaps a little bit of homemade whipped cream on top? Oh yes please!
 Go ahead and try it! But come back and leave me a comment! I would love to see how you liked it and what changes you may have made to it!
