fun eats: Vanilla Milk

Friday, May 24, 2013 4 Comments


Vanilla Milk @mamamissblog #milk #funfood #kids

Lately the kiddos haven’t been interested in milk.  They have always, I mean, ALWAYS been a fan, until recently – they want nothing to do with it!  But yet, they are big fans of the vanilla “cow” milk at Starbucks.   Well, I’m not ready to give up just yet!  MILK FOR EVERYONE!!! (shouting just a little ;)  So, here’s what I’m doing to make them milk drinkers again.

So, always the tinkerer,  I’ve started adding pure vanilla & just a little bit of sugar to their milk.  We call it “Vanilla Milk” and it’s not JUST milk – it’s an experience, and it’s so much more exciting now!  I get out the blender and they stand in their Learning Tower together and help.  They add the ingredients, taking turns, and sometimes (only sometimes ;) they are even brave enough to press the buttons on the blender to evoke those loud scary noises ;)  And then…they drink & drink & drink that yummy vanilla milk!  They love it – I love it – it’s a win-win!

So, here’s my plan!  We actually started off with a little more sugar than I put in the recipe below – shhh – it was only the first time, I was still experimenting.  I have since decreased it to the amount we currently use, which is in the recipe below (and they haven’t even noticed!).  I will continue to decrease it as long as I can, so that I can finally get back to the original milk :)  Well, that’s the plan – I’ll let ya know how it goes!

Vanilla Milk

Yield: Approximately 2 cups.

This yummy and cold treat is sure to be a favorite with the kiddos.

Ingredients

12 ice cubes
2 cups milk (I use Skim Organic)
1/2 tablespoon Sugar
1/2 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Using a blender, add ice, milk, sugar, and vanilla to blender
  2. Blend at high speed, (I like the frappé setting for drinks with ice), for about 30 seconds until well blended.
  3. Pour and enjoy your homemade vanilla milk.

    oh my gosh!! when I was a little girl, I was very picky. Extremely picky! I would not drink milk. still don’t. My mom would make this for me. no blender, no ice. just the vanilla and a little bit of sugar. 60 years plus, I still get a craving for vanilla milk. so many memoires! thanks!!!

Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.” - Ellen Goodman

🌟Potential.  YESSSSS 🙌🏻 I really like this quote 🌟

🧐🔍Seeing the positive first is a great mantra to have when we tend to automatically gravitate towards things that are negative.

🪄Here’s to a bright 2021 and a purposeful positive outlook. 🎉

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟 🤗 How did you HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟

🤗 How did you celebrate the arrival of 2021? 

🎲We played board games all night (cough cough surprise surprise 🤣) while munching on this charcuterie board.

🥳I surprised Eric & the kids by going all fancy for dinner last night. I wasn’t sure the kids would like the goat cheese (my favorite with fig spread 🤤) so I added some basic cheddar. But they LOVED it - I spread a little on one of the plain crackers with fig spread on top. So good! 

🍈Fig spread, goat cheese, & 2 large crackers is from @wholefoods 
🍇Grapes are from @costco (they have the best grapes!)
🪴Rosemary springs are from our garden.
🧀Everything else is from @traderjoes

Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!! Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!!🤗 (now if all my other mail I’m waiting on would arrive 🧐😩)

🦀🐙🐡I backed Open Ocean from @featherstonegames on @kickstarter this summer.  It’s so incredibly neat to see a game come together from start to finish.

🐠🐟🐬This game is beautiful I can’t wait to sit to play with the kids as they become budding marine biologists.

He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n r He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n roll. - I’m kinda loving him though, my little abstract tree.🎄

🧵Right before my dad passed last year, during my last visit with him, he gave me this giant bag of these vintage-y wooden spools knowing that I’d use them in my art classes or some other creative way. 

🧐As I was lesson planning this weekend the idea came to me when I peeked them in my wood craftin’ drawer - CHRISTMAS TREE!! 

✂️I also have a simpler idea in mind with no wire bending/cutting to try it in my art classes as a kinda ‘extra’ project for early finishers. Stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 I’m grateful th Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 
I’m grateful this Thanksgiving for my Dad ❤️ 

📖📖📖When he was alive I’m not sure I appreciated this book as much, but now that he’s gone it’s made me appreciate him even more that he took the time to catalog all our family recipes into two cookbooks for us to have. 

🦃🍁🍂This Thanksgiving without my mom joining us (she’s with friends this year) I was without her traditional treats like my favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake.

💪🏻So I attempted that (my first cheesecake EVER!) and Tussies (mini pecan pies) from scratch using my families recipes.  I’m so excited to dig in today and the whole time making them made me feel extremely #grateful for my Dad & all he did for his family. 💕
