For lunch today, I made my brother and I some well-done quesadillas and a dairy free chocolate coconut milkshake. The quesadillas are pretty simple. You just shed a little mozzarella cheese onto a white corn tortilla, crush some feta cheese on top, and sprinkle a dash of garlic salt onto all that. Then, you cook it in a toaster oven (NOT a microwave!) set at the ‘toast’ setting until the cheese is golden brown. Ta da!

Mmmm!!

Here is the recipe for the dairy free chocolate milkshake:

Dairy Free Chocolate Coconut Milkshake

You’ll need:

1 tbs. dairy free hot chocolate mix

1 1/2 cups vanilla almond milk

1 drop Sweet Drops English Toffee liquid stevia OR 1 quick squirt of agave (optional)

1 scoop coconut ice cream (any flavor, I used vanilla)

A sprinkle of vanilla powder (optional)

Turn over a glass cup with a flat rim. Set rim in almond milk for a second. Then press rim into a small amount of the hot chocolate mix. Whisk together the almond milk and hot chocolate mix in a cup until combined. Whisk in the vanilla powder. Add liquid stevia or agave. Add the coconut ice cream. Enjoy!

If you aren’t dairy free, then just use your “regular” dairy-containing milk and ice cream. I’m slightly lactose intolerant, but I used whole milk mint chip ice cream. Have fun with your milkshakes! Dip the rim in honey, agave, jam, or peanut butter for a different flavor. This milkshake recipe is mainly meant as a starting point for you guys to expand on. In the comments section, you can post your variations on this recipe!

I bought a vintage suitcase at a local store for $38. I was around $40 at first, then I took a chance and waited until it went on sale. I bought it later. What a grab! (It’s for display because it’s old and I don’t want it to be damaged on plane trips.)

I finally decided to upload the pictures for the hair bow DIY like I promised. I will post them in episodes. Today I am showing the first 4 steps. Keep checking for the next parts!

You’ll need about 1 foot of lace, scissors, thread, a needle, and a measuring tape.

Measure 3 inches of the lace and fold it over.

Do the same to the other side.

Get ready to cut… (stay tuned for the next episode!)

Well, this has to be the longest post ever! I hope you liked it. Don’t be afraid to comment and be sure to like and follow me.

I have a few more days left of spring break, and I found this blog: www.abeautifulness.com. It has so many great craft ideas that I will try this weekend. It is so refreshing and exciting! Some of my favorite posts are here…:

Anyway, I just got The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton. I haven’t read it yet, but it sounds interesting. I will do a review once I’ve read it — the whole 500+ pages.

Today I made a horror movie trailer with my brother. We used iMovie on an iPad, and it turned out pretty well (if I do say so myself.) I also received a final grade on my class…94%!

I recently finished editing and adding captions to a couple pictures. I used PicMonkey, (and Repix) which are both great free sources.
