I love blended coffee drinks, like the kind they sell at Starbucks. They are so refreshing and delicious, but who can afford a $4 drink? Plus, who wants to get themselves and all their kids out of the car, just to get a coffee? Not me!
The beautiful sun we’ve had this week, and the excitement of the sun promised this weekend, has reminded me that I can make wonderful blended drinks at home, and so can you! Give it a try and enjoy one in the sun this weekend, it will definitely bring a smile to your face because it cost you only pennies, you didn’t have to get in the car, and it tastes wonderful. Happy sunny Mother’s Day weekend to everyone!

Blended Coffee, anyway you want it!
Place all ingredients in a blender and turn on high for 30 seconds to a minute, just until the ice has reached your desired consistency. Swirl hot fudge on the inside of the cup to help it look as fancy as it tastes!
Make sure you customize your drink, choose the type of milk you want, add a flavor, put in more sugar if you like sweet coffee, do whatever will help you enjoy it most and keep you home, happy, and $4 richer!
The kitchen is where I express myself. It is where I go when I need to process or escape. Cooking is my creative outlet and my stress reliever. When I am in my kitchen, my ingredients listen to me, they do what I want, and I can produce something that is satisfying, tasty, and healthy without it whining or talking back to me! Join me as I journey through life in my kitchen. 
OH YES PLEASE!
