Let's Get Together

April 15th is coming soon! While you are busy getting your taxes ready, take a break and send me a suggestion. The drawing for the $10 Starbucks card is April 15th. Please post an idea of something fun for parents and college students to do together this summer. Each time you send an idea, your name will be entered into the drawing. You can enter as many times as you wish. Just keep those ideas coming!

Wake Up Call

Hello Sunshine!
Sometimes we can use a wake up call to help us get going in the morning. I am including a recipe today that can help sleepy college students or parents wake up. It is quick and you can add a fun twist to it by freezing the cup of bananas before putting them in the blender. Bananas freeze well if you cut them up and put them in a freezer bag.

Morning Shake
1 cup milk
1 cup sliced bananas
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Put ingredients in blender, cover and whirl until smooth. Serve at once.

Recipe for Pita Pizzas

One of the features I am including in my blog is recipes for college students.

The first recipe is for Pita Pizzas. Tonight is one of the Final Four basketball games and this would be a perfect night for a delicious pizza.

Enjoy!
