Iced Caps

Since I found this recipe for the Breve Frappe, I've been making it quite a bit. Cory and I really enjoy it. Now that it's time for cool summer drinks, I'm going to have to make some of Tammy's Not Quite Tim Horton's but Almost as Good Ice Caps. They're pretty good, too. I grabbed this recipe from her a while ago. We don't have Tim Horton's around here, so I can't really tell you if they're as good or not - but they are plenty good.

NOT QUITE TIM HORTON'S, BUT ALMOST AS GOOD ICE CAPS

1 cup of whole or 2% milk
1 heaping teaspoon of instant coffee
1 teaspoon of vanilla
6 ice cubes
4 teaspoons of sugar

Mix all in blender until ice is crushed. Pour in glass and drink with a straw.

Tammy says she usually makes a double batch because, as soon as she makes one for herself, everyone else wants one too - so I think that's the way to do it. I'm also planning to try the Frozen Lemonade she posted recently. That sounds so good!

There's nothing like a home-cooked meal!

In this age of fast food and busy schedules, it seems almost a thing of the past. I have worked to find recipes which are not only good, but EASY! A lot of the recipes here can be prepared ahead of time. That way you can do the work when you have the time instead of waiting until the dinner hour when things seem to be most hectic. Most of these recipes use ingredients you should already have on hand. So check your pantry and GET COOKING!!

I really enjoy cooking, and I'm always trying and modifying new recipes. Most of the recipes on this site are ones that I have changed - either to suit my tastes or to use the ingredients I have on hand. All the recipes here are ones that I really like. There are so

many recipes in the world that there is just no excuse for using one twice if it's not something you really enjoy. Now, whether the rest of the family enjoys them or not is another story, but I try to add special notes about who likes what.

I must admit that this site is also a way to keep track of the recipes that I really like. Haven't you had that recipe you really liked, but then you couldn't find it the next time you wanted to use it? Well, I have, so when I make something I really like, I am going to add the recipe to this web site. Then I will always be able to find it, and you will be able to enjoy it too.

I usually read a recipe as a kind of 'suggestion' for how to make something. Even if I don't try them, I am always looking for new recipes. I read cookbooks for fun - especially the ones with good pictures! I hope you have fun visiting my kitchen, too!

Yes, I do get paid for some of my posts. Some are simple links, some information and reviews about sites and services. It's fun. It's easy. And I've found lots of interesting sites I wouldn't have known about otherwise - unless I read about it on someone else's blog! (for which they would have gotten paid instead of me)

Whether I'm getting paid or not, all opinions are 100% MINE. If this sounds like something you'd like to do - sign up at SocialSpark and you can start getting paid, too.

Paid posts are tagged with the date - example: 03/11, 04/11. It helps me keep track of them, and it's an easy way for you to see at a glance whether or not they're paid posts.

Iced Caps

Where towels are for drying, and the white spoons don't go in the tomato sauce!
