Mocha Frappuccino

Do you ever just need to celebrate coming to the end of a project? That's just what I did today as i finished up the last two triangles for my Pop Stars Quilt!

 Vicki and I have been having a ball on our Sewing Tuesdays as we've stitched  1.5 inch strips onto muslin foundations for the last seven months. We are both going to use our quilts as tablecloths and I need 60 of these large triangles for my 63"x105" quilt. Check that off of my list... Now to get them all stitched together!

 Being a bit addicted to coffee drinks lately, I've been wanting to come up with a way to make my own frappuccinos. I think that I've concocted a pretty good recipe that's quick, easy to fix, and ohhhhh so good! I'll share the recipe just in case you have something to celebrate also!

 Mocha Frappuccino

8 ounces International Delight Mocha Iced Coffee (Find this in the dairy case)

4 ounces milk

1 packet Truvia or any sweetener

1 or 2 drops Vanilla extract

Crushed ice

Makes 20 ounces

 Put all ingredients into a blender, adding the ice last and filling it to approximately the 20 ounce line.

 You probably could use ice cubes if crushed is not available...just takes a bit more blending.

 Now, just push the blend button until you don't hear any more ice breaking up and the drink is blended and frothy.

 This makes a nice big frappuccino for sharing with a friend.

Or, if you have an extra 210 calories to spare, do as I did and drink the whole thing yourself! What do you have to celebrate?
