Frosty Drinks

Dear Lissy,
I try to do something a little special for each person's birthday supper that they're not expecting.  For your birthday this year I surprised you with buttercream sodas, a family favorite.

Buttercream Soda
1 cup Cream Soda
1/2 cup French Vanilla Ice Cream
3 Tbsp Butterscotch Syrup
Cool Whip
Combine ingredients in a blender and blend at high speed until ice cream is completely incorporated, about 30 seconds.  Pour into chilled glass and top with Cool Whip.  Serve immediately.


This next simple recipe was my go-to the summer I was pregnant with Matt.  It's also a great treat when your nursing someone with a fever and sore throat.

Chocolate Malted Milk Shakes
1 cup milk
1/4 cup Chocolate Malt Ovaltine powder
1 Fudgesicle, paper and stick removed (2 for an extra thick shake)
Combine ingredients in blender and blend at high speed until fudgesicle is completely incorporated, about 30 seconds.  Pour into chilled glass and serve immediately.

Love you,
Mom
