Fruity Smoothie Summer Drink

What could be better than a cold and refreshing fruit drink on a hot summer day? This peach and strawberry drink is creamy and sweet, the strawberries giving it the perfect hint of tartness. Just toss the ingredients into a mixer and you have your drink waiting for you!
I've only made this recipe with fresh fruit, but I'm sure you could use frozen fruit if that's all that you have on hand.

 

Cube the peaches and half the strawberries; drop them into your food blender. (I used a Vita-Mix). Add the sugar, milk, and ice cubes. Turn on the blender for 30 seconds to a minute, or until everything is smoothly ground and mixed together.

 

Pour into cups and serve immediately.

Andrew's Pebble Bars

I was out of ideas for recipes, so I asked one of my little brothers, Andrew, if he had any ideas for me. He promptly said that I should make rice crispy treats with Fruit Pebbles. The idea grabbed me, and I spent a day or so creating the recipe in my head. It didn't take long to put together, and after one failed effort, I made Andrew's Pebble Bars. They were a great success! I have many younger siblings, and they all loved them. My bars were requested twice for birthday desserts, and I was asked to make them again. Too bad I didn't have more marshmallows!

 

Put a pot on the stovetop on low heat. Add the butter.

 

 

 

Once the butter has melted, add the marshmallows and stir continually until they have melted completely, about 3-5 minutes.

 

Take the pot off of the heat, and immediately incorporate the Fruity Rice. Give the pot a two or three quick stirs, combining the ingredients, and dump the pot's contents into the greased pan. Spread the cereal, using a buttered spatula or clean, buttered hands. Work quickly, because the mixture will begin to firm up almost at once.

 

Reusing the pot that you have just used, it on the stovetop on low heat. Add the butter. Once it has melted, add the marshmallows and stir continually until they have melted completely, about 3-5 minutes.
