Orange Julius Recipe

As long as I can remember, I have always enjoyed going to a mall and indulging in an Orange Julius.  Well, now I can make them at home.  Here is a great recipe and they taste exactly like the real ones at the mall:

1 cup orange juice (Tropicana works well)

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 cup water
1 cup  milk

8 or 9 ice cubes

Put all ingredients except ice cubes in a blender.  Whirl until well mixed.  Add ice cubes one at a time until frothy.

Serve immediately.

There is quite a bit of sugar in this so if it is too sweet for your liking, just reduce the sugar to maybe 1/3 of a cup.  Enjoy!

Pancakes For Breakfast

Sundays we always have pancakes or waffles for breakfast.

Blueberry Whole Wheat Pancakes

Today it was Blueberry Whole Wheat Pancakes as we try to keep it healthy.  With all the recent studies of real maple syrup and how it is a nutritional powerhouse, I have been using it as my primary sweetener for pancakes, oatmeal and even in lattes and popsicles.  It has been said to have over 90 antioxidants.

So enjoy your maple syrup.  I sure am!
