Italian Grilled Chicken
My kids FAVORITE chicken! I usually make a little extra so I can add it to salads for lunch.
You can also do this with chicken wings and they are amazing

3 large cloves of garlic
2 TBSP of fresh cilantro
juice of 1/2 a lime
salt and pepper to taste
It is SO yummy. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
I can not wait to try this yummy treat. My kids are such fans of Wendy’s Frosty’s but the only time we get them is when they sell those $1 Frosty coupon booklets for 10 free junior size ones. Boy, I am certainly going to be loved this summer. The heat is finally coming our way!
You can even change it up a bit by adding bananas or peanut butter or broken up mints.
Homemade Wendy’s Frosty (The Magic Milkshake courtesy of Hillbilly Housewife)
1-1/2 to 2 cups ice water
1-1/2 cups nonfat dry milk powder
2/3 cup sugar ( or Splenda to make them with less calories)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 to 1-1/2 trays of ice cubes, as much as you can spare
2 tablespoons corn oil plus a 5-second squirt of non-stick spray for emulsification purpose (you can read her notes on why you need that non-stick spray)
Place all of the ingredients into the blender, including the oil and the non-stick spray. Use less water for thicker milk shakes and more water for shakes that are easy on your blender motor. The blender should be about 3/4’s full. Place the lid on. Process for a full 2 minutes. Pour into cups and serve. Makes 4 – 12oz servings.
