VitaMix “Creamsicle” Smoothie
“This smoothie is refreshing and delicious on a warm/hot Summer day! It would work well with many citrus, but Cara Cara oranges are especially good. This is highly reminiscent of an Orange Julius drink. So get ready to be surprised how wonderful this tastes with so little preparation. Family members will be lining up at the VitaMix soda fountain for these!…”
Vita-Mix Choco-Nana “Ice Cream”

There is no way I thought this recipe would taste exactly like eggnog (made with eggs and cream and sugar). But I just made it […]
I Fixed A Flop!
“I have not failed; I have just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” -Thomas Alva Edison
