Orange Julius

Today we played in the sprinkler and sipped yummy Orange Julius that my little sister made:

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups orange juice
1 cup water
3 tablespoons egg white or egg substitute
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups ice

Instructions:

Combine all of the ingredients except ice in a blender and blend on high speed for 15 to 30 seconds or until the sugar is dissolved. Add the ice and blend for another 10 to 15 seconds or so, until ice is mostly crushed yet still a bit coarse.

Makes 2 16-ounce drinks.

Black Forest Pancakes

On Sunday I went to see my sister and luckily she has a cherry tree in her backyard. She gave me a bag of cherries to take home and I made my favourite breakfast with them; black forest pancakes. I first saw these being made on tv on a show about a bed and breakfast and this is the recipe they featured. I couldn't find the exact recipe from the show but found this one which looks just like it and tastes out of this world.Enjoy!
