    Hi Jamie, I'm glad you decided to join the Crazy Cooking Challenge. I luv your chocolate covered strawberry shake and of course I'm going to have to make it. The warm weather gives me the 'o.k.' to make smoothies and shakes instead of eating a sandwich. Thanks so much for sharing.

    Thanks also for following me, I appreciate it. Please visit my Berry Smooth at CC #17..

    Looks like a great smoothie. And I LOVE all your pinterest boards (following you now). I have vowed to make smoothies once a day all summer long, breakfast or a dinner substitute on hot summer days and I can't wait to try ALL of the Crazy Cooking Challenge recipes from this month. Thanks so much for participating.
