This recipe is so versatile, and my kids love it! It is the best smoothie recipe I have ever tried 
1 cup berries (blackberries, strawberries, whatever you have on hand)
1 cup orange juice (may substitute water)
1 frozen banana (freeze these without the peel, in a ziplock bag ahead of time)
1 T coconut oil (optional, but really healthy)
Whipped cream (1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 T vanilla, 4 T sugar, whip it with an elecric beater until its the way you want it). Note: this makes enough for 10 servings!
Puree all ingredients except whipped cream in a blender, and top with whipped cream. Enjoy!
Makes 2 or 3 servings.

Recently our son got married, and, being the one responsible for the reception, I searched for some time for the perfect recipe, and even tried one from ahead of time. After deciding that the one we tried at home was agreeably inexpensive, it was too much like 7-up, and therefore tasted too inexpensive and simple for what we wanted at our son’s wedding. Well according to our children and our guests, the following recipe that I got here was a smashing success! Yes, it was very tasty, not too 7-upy. More expensive, but worth it for our son’s wedding! A great recipe to include in your own blank recipe book:
Great Wedding Punch
2 liter Gingerale
2 liter Club Soda
1 bag frozen strawberry & 1/2 bag frozen raspberry blended.
1 can of frozen lemonade
1 can of frozen raspberry grape
1 quart of frozen sherbet! put sherbet in last and let melt!! AWESOME!!!!!
Cheers!

Yesterday was my husband’s birthday, and so I made his favorite dish, Beef Stroganoff. Now, this is one of those dishes that his mom made, and he just loves it. When we got married, I asked my new father-in-law, Madison, what the recipe was, since my mother-in-law passed away before I met my husband. Madison didn’t know where her version of the recipe was, and he gave me very vague instructions on how to make one of his wife’s well-favored recipes.
If my late mother-in-law would’ve had a blank recipe book to record her recipes in, nobody would be left to wonder, and it would’ve lessened the stress on one young bride who didn’t know how to cook! (Now my secret’s out!) A blank recipe book should really be in everyone’s kitchen! I’m sure Madison would’ve looked there for the recipe, had she had one of these.
So, for many years, I either didn’t make beef stroganoff, or guessed at how to do it correctly. I have, I think gotten pretty good at this, without ever actually looking up a recipe online (!) until today, the day AFTER his birthday! (I did make it yesterday!)
This one recipe strikes me in particular. Maybe it’s because of the white wine, the green onions, or the way the mushrooms look in the picture, or all of the above. I am going to have to try this recipe! It calls for a lot less sour cream than what I used (what have I done?), but it looks well worth the try!
I will get my version posted here soon.
