The Hillbilly housewife had this recipe on her blog and I snagged it and made it completely dairy free.
1 1/2 c. cold vanilla rice milk
About 1 1/2 - 2 trays of ice
1/3 c. sugar
1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla (if desired)
2 T. olive oil plus a 5-second squirt of pan spray
Blender should be about 3/4 full of ice. Place all ingredients in a blender and blend for 2 minutes. Do not omit any ingredients or the milkshake will not form. The oil and pan spray is needed for emulsification purposes and to give a creamy texture and appearance. It will have an appearance similar to a Wendy's frosty but much healthier, with no artificial flavors or colors and most ingredients are found at home.
You can omit the cocoa powder and only 1/2 c. sugar with 1 T. pure vanilla extract for a vanilla shake.
Add 1 ripe banana and you get a chocolate banana milkshake.
Reduce ice cup by cup for frozen strawberries and adjust sugar to your tastes to get a strawberry shake.
Add a scoop of rice protein powder to add protein and other essential aminos to your shake.

Field Trip Anyone?!
Riverside Arts Market
Saturday - 10:00AM to 4:00PM
April to December
Directions & Parking: Click Here For Maps
Admission: FREE!
Take a stroll through the riverside arts market where the theme of the market is to BUY LOCAL! You'll find local farmers selling produce, artists (painters, sculptors, musicians, performance artists, and much more) performing or displaying their work and enjoy musical entertainment. If you get hungry you can stop into the food court where neighborhood chefs from area restaurants prepare everything from gourmet hot dogs to international cuisine. While your there why not do some grocery shopping from local farmers? Buy vegetables, fruit, honey, eggs, cheese and organic treats all in one spot.
Children are welcome as well as dogs, however they need to be on a leash/harness and you are responsible for them at all times. I guess the above statement would be true for the kiddos as well. :-)
Hope to see you there one Saturday!

Update on the de Vidal family
Job Situation: Chris officially has a job and will drive down to Daytona and do orientation on Monday and fly out Tuesday for job training in Alabama. He will be gone training for 4 weeks in Alabama and will only return on weekends. We plan to have Chris commute for 5 month's from Jax to Daytona and a few weeks after the baby is born we will officially move to Daytona. During this time we hope to save up money to put as a down payment on a home and will hopefully get something within the next few month's so that we can slowly move the majority of our stuff before the baby is born and then move the remainder after the birth.
Baby Update: We found out we are having a little girl and she will be due September 4th. :-)
Prayer Needs: We will be needing a substantial amount of money because we have no clothes for our upcoming baby girl (we don't have any lace or pink up in this house), and because we won't be able to leave our current house we will need to not only have this one moved down to Daytona but purchase a home and land in Daytona big enough for two homes. So please be in prayer that God will provide for us in these times.
