Watermelon Milkshakes



This is not my typical drink.

I know, I know...I usually make smoothies.  I've made lots and lots of them, sharing them all with you.  But sometimes you just gotta be bad.  Not the suffering guilty bad, just a little cheat drink.  You know what I mean?  So today instead of putting my wonderful summer fruit in a smoothie, I went a little decadent and put it in a milkshake!

Watermelon...juicy, fruity and light tasting.  Such a summer flavor that I love.  So what better way to relax on the patio or by the pool in this still hot weather, than with a decadent milkshake!  Let me tell you, when I made these they didn't last long.  MGG had ours by the pool and I think he must loved his.  He was making yummy noises while he was drinking it.  And when I looked away and then looked back it was gone!  




So since this is MGG approved I'm sure your family and kids will love this as well.  

Take some time out to be a little bad...it feels soooo good!

Southern Sundays



Welcome to Southern Sundays!

Everyone keeps talking about the end of summer.  Here in Southern California we are still in full swing.  It's still hot and will most likely be hot well into September.  I just love that, because I'm not ready for the end of summer.  I don't want to lose the long evenings.  I'm not ready for fall colors, clothes, or flavors.  Nope, not yet.  I want to savor the summer fruits and vegetables until the very last moment!  

So to give you a little taste of summer in Southern California here are some beautiful pics to feast your eyes upon.  Summer, don't go away.....
