If you're like me you spend most of the day trying to think "What's for dinner?". Sometimes I want to try something new or even just remember a good family favorite. I created this blog as a quick and easy way to help jog my memory and to share our family favorites across the web. My sister-in-law Marie and I post some of our most successful recipes with pictures. Bon Appetite!

Orange Julius


This is one of the first things I remember learning to make in the kitchen. As a child we would enjoy this cool, frothy drink during the summer heat in St. George and on special holiday mornings.

1 cup milk
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 container of frozen orange juice (save the rest for another day)
12-15 ice cubes

Combine all except ice in blender mix well. Add ice a little at a time until you get the texture you desire. I like mine think and smooth.

Yield 5-6, 8 oz servings.

**Variations**
-Have fun trying this with other frozen fruit concentrates.
-For a more foamy drink use dry powdered milk and water. To substitute 1 cup of milk use 1 cup of water and 3 Tablespoons Dry Powdered Milk (Not milk alternative). You do not have to blend them together before adding them to this recipe.
