Celebrate your birthday or any day with this fun Spiked Birthday Cake Milkshake.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMANDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would feel bad for making a whole blog post to celebrate her birthday when she likes to keep it low key, but I’m #theworst.
She can just deal with it.

I feel that desserts get the short end of the stick at Thanksgiving. At least, they kinda get the cold shoulder from me.

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard…
Okay, so I had to. I really did.
Let me explain.

Hands down my FAVORITE ice cream is Cookies and Cream. And I think Friendly’s is the best. But really, how can you resist the combo of ice cream and Oreo cookies. Plus Oreo’s are just my favorite. Bliss. 🙂

Thirsty Thursday – Snickers Milkshake – Who wouldn’t want a candy bar in an ice cold glass overflowing with chocolate and peanuts
It’s mid June and it’s really freaking cold out here in Boston. Plus it’s been raining non stop. I am not happy about this. Not happy at all.
…
So there is an ice cream truck that has been taunting me every night since it drives right down our block. It alternates between playing “pop goes the weasel” and “la cucaracha”. We live in a Hispanic area so the later song selection makes sense.

My favorite parts about Easter are all the rabbit themed goodies I see around and Cadbury Creme Eggs. The best thing ever is catching the classic Cadbury Bunny Tryouts commercial. I love it so much. Plus I’m still ease-dropping on my rabbits waiting to hear them cluck like a chicken. No success yet 🙂
So I took my love of my Cadbury Creme Eggs and went a little crazy this year and whipped up some cavity inducing recipes. First things first is the shake!
I was inspired by the Cadbury Shake in The Good Stuff Cookbook
Enjoy your own or pour the shake into a big glass and share with someone who loves Cadbury Creme Eggs as much as you!

It’s the coldest it’s been in Boston in a long time. So why the hell am I posting about a milkshake. Why the hell not!?! Put a hat on, wear some gloves inside, whatever, just make sure you give this shake a try.
Every holiday season I go on a candy buying binge and act as if all the M&M’s and Reese’s peanut butter cups are going to run out. I did a good job putting a dent into that stash this year but I still had plenty of Reese’s cups hanging around. That might happen when you buy 8 bags… really, what was I thinking? So, I ran over to my huge bin of goodies and dug out a bag to have fun with so I could mix of this shake.
This Peanut Butter Cup Milkshake is in honor of National Peanut Butter Day, which is why this week’s theme for Thirsty Thursday is peanut butter. I had a lot of ideas about what I would whip up but decided with something simple, indulgent, irresistible, and packed full of candies. It’s easy to make, if you can pour milk, scoop ice cream, and chop up some candies you are good to go. I suggest that you finely chop the pb cups as the chocolate will freeze once it hits the cold ice cream so the smaller it is the easier & faster it is to blend.
Amanda has whipped up some awesome Peanut Butter Waffles. Peanut Butter Waffles?! That sounds perfect for a homemade weekend brunch! Ooo ,maybe with some bacon! Wait! How about some hot maple syrup with sliced banana on top! I think Elvis would be proud.

After when we went Zorbing, Pricer, Emily and I went to Sonic for some dinner (because we are horrible influences on Em). I am addicted to their limeades. Addicted. But getting to the point, in the end we got a pumpkin pie milkshake to split. Unfortunately, it was not really good. The shakes was SO thick that it was more of a chore to drink than anything. It was topped with a whipped cream that was super sweet and dense. It was too much for the 3 of us to conquer- that’s saying something! In the end it worked out since I decided to create some lighter milkshakes at home.
Making my own pumpkin pie milkshake allowed me to control the calorie count, density, and flavors. This shake is perfect for fall since it takes the flavors of pumpkin pie and delivers it to your all in your glass. Plus it’s on the healthy side since it uses unsweetened pumpkin puree, a small amount of ice cream*, low-fat/skim milk, and no whipped topping. Sure you can add the whipped topping but does it actually contribute to the milkshake? No! it’s just on top. Save the calories & fat for a cookie, I know there will be plenty of them around during the holiday season.
