Homemade Shamrock Shake

Shamrock ShakeCome February every year, I am always on the look out for the golden arches to release the Shamrock Shake.  I love that minty, delicious and creepy green milkshake.  I dream about throughout the year.  So I decided to go and try to make it myself.  It was simple and now I can drink them all year long.

Homemade Shamrock Shake

Fill a blender with 2 cups of vanilla ice cream.  Make sure not to use the natural vanilla as the black vanilla bean bits will stand out in the shake.  It is a tad creepy looking.

Fill the blender with the ingredients

Add 1 1/4 cups milk.

Then add 1/4 tsp mint extract and 10 drops of green food color.

Homemade Shamrock Shake

Blend until smooth.  Top with whipped cream and you have a delicious Shamrock Shake Clone.

    Fire and Smoke Pizza

    There is a little pizza restaurant in DC called Matchbox that makes pretty darn good pizzas.  Although they are known more for their sliders than their pizza, they make a pretty mean pie.  My favorite is the Fire and Smoke pizza.  It is a mixture of spicy and smokey ingredients that play together to make…

  • Personal Lasagnas

    Last week was Dana’s Birthday and I wanted to make her favorite meal. Lasagna! So I looked around and found completely flat sheets of Lasagna noodles by Barilla. They fit almost perfectly into my individual oven safe bowls and they also do not require pre-boiling. For that reason I decided to make individual lasagnas. This…

  1. I'm crazy about Shamrock Shakes, too! They are the only reason we go to McDonald's 🙂 For some reason or other I'd never thought to make my own (even though I make chocolate malts), but I will definitely need to make one soon!
