...with recipe catch up.

I have been a cooking maniac lately. I just keep finding more and more recipes online that look so good, so I have been whipping up new things and taking photos (if they are good enough!) to keep for my recipe book project. In case you are looking for something new for your meal plans - check out these recipes.

My most recent favorites are these:
Pacific Pork Kabobs with Pineapple Rice


and Tyler's Mozarella Grilled Cheese Sandwiches I even got my mom hooked on these! I ate one for lunch everyday for a week!

Recipe for Iced Mocha Frappucinno

1 cup non-fat dry milk powder (one package)
1 cup powdered non-dairy creamer
1/3 cup baking cocoa (adjust to taste)
1/4 teaspoon salt

To make a perfect Mocha Frappe:

1 1/2 cup crushed ice

1/3 cup mocha mix

1/4 cup water
