Banana MILKshake

I don't typically eat bananas. But put them in pudding or a milkshake and I'm sold. I also don't drink milk, but make me a smoothie or milkshake with milk and again, I'm sold.

This one is so simple, I bet you have everything on hand right now! Just put some bananas in the freezer and they'll be frozen in time for you to make this for dessert tonight. 

Enjoy.






Serves 1 or 2 (depending on how hungry you are)

1 1/2 frozen bananas
1 c whole milk - whole is better, trust me
2 T malted milk powder
3 T coconut, sweetened or unsweetened
4-5 ice cubes
crushed cookies to top (opt.)

Place all the ingredients into a blender and blend well.

It's Garlic diggin' time!

The internet is full of garlic harvest how-to's, when to harvest, what to look for, etc. The idea of digging my garlic up felt a little overwhelming....like I was going to be too early, too late....well, turns out, I -think- was juuuuust right!

I found a site that seemed reliable, straightforward and didn't rely on old wives tales to tell me when to harvest my garlic. 
Here's a link about growing garlic
Here's a tutorial on when to harvest your garlic. 
Here's a tutorial on curing and storing your garlic.

Enjoy. Here are a couple pics from my garden!
