  1. Delicious! I drink a smoothie almost every day for breakfast, and this was a new combination for me. I loved it! I added flaxmeal, as I always do to my smoothies, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. What a terrific combination of flavours! Thanks for posting! Made for Aussie Swap :)
     
  2. What a great treat this was, so fruity and refreshing. I tried it using a honeydew melon and a cantaloupe. Both were really good -- DS liked the cantaloupe one better as he said it was sweeter; DH and I preferred the cooler made with the honeydew melon; to us it had a light and fresher flavor. These are easy to make, and were so quick that I whipped up the two batches in about 5 minutes. We'll be enjoying these often, especially during the many hot and humid days here in Florida.
     
  3. Delicious combination! I used 1/2 cup frozen raspberries and 1/2 cup Recipe #295198 instead of the yogurt, and I added about a cup of crushed ice because the rest of my ingredients were room-temperature. Wonderful! Thanks! Reviewed for Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap.
     
  4. It took me a while to locate a nice cantaloupe, but I did! This makes a very nice drink, especially with the raspberry & melon! Thanks for posting! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my teammates in AUS/NZ Recipe Tag, Mar 08]

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live on the Oregon Coast with husband and four boys. I am able to stay at home with them and hold down the fort. I have many cookbooks which I enjoy searching through for our family favorites. I recently started working as a home health care worker for seniors with disabilities (which I absolutely love), I love to quilt, crochet, bake, read, garden, watch the rain (which happens quite frequently here) and play with my kids. <br /><br />I am passionate about canning, canning, canning. I will admit I like admiring all the hard work after the jars are placed on the shelves. hehee I am all for if I can make it myself I will. Yes...I am frugal. I also love to bake. Especially homemade bread. I will continue to do so until arthritis takes over my hands. Then I will use more of the mixer for the kneading part. <br />All recipes I post are ones I've made and are our famiy favorites. <br /><br />I love pretty flowers. These flowers grace our yard every year. I could watch them all day long and be perfectly content! <br /><a href=http://s260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/zauggrc/?action=view?t=2008flowers008.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/zauggrc/2008flowers008.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&lt;img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picbzMWsf-1.jpg&gt; October 2010&nbsp;</p> <p><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pichy1L7z-1.jpg alt= /> September 2010</p> <p>&nbsp;<img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pic53mWVE-1.jpg alt= />&nbsp; August 2010</p> <p><br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pictSF7ey-1.jpg alt= />&nbsp; July 2010</p> <p><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pick0GuXD-1.jpg alt= /> June 2010</p> <p><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/piczwaa5A-1.jpg alt= /> May 2010</p> <p><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picW4Zmut-1.jpg alt= /></p> <p>April 2010</p> <p><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picO0GVGF-2.jpg alt= />&nbsp;March 2010</p> <p><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picOOqjRy-1.jpg alt= /> Feb 2010 <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pick0GuXD-1.jpg alt= /> Jan 2010 <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picCdyPjI-1.jpg alt= /> Dec 2009 <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/GrassTree-1-1.jpg alt= /> November 2009 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/MullaMulla-1-1.jpg alt= /> October 2009<img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Dryandra-1-1.jpg alt= /> September 2009 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pic9ysNPn-1.jpg alt= /> June 2009 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pic9ysNPn-1.jpg alt= /> May 2009 <br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picbzMWsf-1.jpg alt= /> April 2009 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pic9ysNPn-1.jpg alt= />March 2009 <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pickxwB1q-1.jpg alt= /> February 2009 <br /><img src=http://i497.photobucket.com/albums/rr336/jess4freedom/Zaar%20banners/emergency_amtag.jpg alt= />January 2009 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pukekoinapongatree-1.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/FringeLily-1-1.jpg alt= /> November 2008 <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><a href=http://s80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/?action=view?t=CookingSchoolHost1.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/CookingSchoolHost1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Darwinia.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Cooking-Kangaroo-1-1.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/numbat-1.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/DesertRose.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/590105/fringelilygrp10.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/GrassTree.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /></a><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/CV.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><a href=http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view?t=curriedcurrajongs.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/curriedcurrajongs.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a></p>
