Watermelon Frosty
If you are looking for a way to beat the heat, this is the perfect remedy! Not only is this super refreshing but makes use of the juicy watermelons in season. I saw this mentioned on Money Saving Mom and just couldn't resist especially since I had a plethora of watermelon that was going to go bad.

After getting some wonderful peaches at a local produce spot, I thought it would be great to add in peaches. It turned out great! It's moist and the peaches added wonderful flavor and texture. It kind of tastes … Read More

To my delight my favorite local frozen yogurt shop, Perkits (if you are ever in Cleveland, TN you have got to visit Perkits-they have different flavors every day!) has their own version of frozen hot chocolate. I have also tried the famed Serendipity Frozen Hot Chocolate in New York which was … Read More
