Yummy

I don't often share recipes on here. As a matter of fact, this may be a first. But this is just too simple and too yummy to keep secret.

Spencer, Allison and I have been slowly getting our appetites back after our recent bouts will illness, and just nothing sounds good. And then I remembered a recipe I had dog-earred in the current issue of Taste of Home's Simple and Delicious magazine. I had even bought all the ingredients before we ever got sick, which really only required one extra item above what we normally have on hand anyway.

Plus, this has the added benefit of being mostly healthy and so yummy my kids finally ate (drank) something in its entirety for the first time in awhile. They took their time though.

Want to see my highly professional photograph of this tasty concoction? Sure you do.

Okay, technical difficulties. I'll have to put that inspiring picture up later, once Bruce gets home to smack some sense into this computer. I can't hit it hard enough. Actually, we had computer problems earlier this week and he's had to re-install everything, but evidently forgot about our camera software.

On to the recipe.

Chocolate Banana Smoothies
1 Cup of milk
1 Cup of vanilla yogurt
1/2 Cup of chocolate syrup
2 medium bananas, halved
8 ice cubes

Put it all in blender and process until smooth. Pour into chilled glasses and serve immediately.
(And to make sure I'm giving even further credit, this recipe was sent in by Renee Zimmer of Tacoma, Washington.)

I even got the coveted phrase "You're the best, Mom!" from one of mine for making these. And really, does it get any better than that?
