Holiday Recipe Exchange sent/received thread...COMPLETED!!

[jwsqrdplus2]

Another really big favorite of mine is Peppermint. Here is a real simple recipe for those of you who like peppermint.


Candy Cane Cooler

3 scoops vanilla ice cream
1 1/2 cups milk
1 candy cane

In a blender combine ice cream, milk and candy cane.
Process until smooth.


Since I really like peppermint mint, I would use 2 candy canes and maybe add some peppermint extract also.

Since I finally had a few minutes to actually read the entire thread today, I did. So Heidi, how about adding some Peppermint Schnapps to make this a grown up drink!?!?!

Not that I am complaining, but what do we need an exchange for when Nancy (and others) keeps posting great sounding recipes?!? I've already downloaded more than 5 to my personal cookbook!


And Nancy...I LOVE soups!

 

[Meriweather]

I am always happy to share. Never could understand people that want to keep recipes "secret".

More soups tomorrow. I love soups too
