Day 1 - Guilty Pleasure

I discovered this guilty pleasure after Gift was born. I'm not sure why - maybe a craving? Because for 32 years before this I wouldn't go near the stuff. Well, partly. The closest I have come to it was a Jamocha shake from Arby's. Have you guessed yet? It would a Mocha Frappachino.

Since Gift's birth, I've craved the coffee taste without actually wanting to drink straight coffee. At first (and I still do) I preferred the frappes from McD's, then the Moolatte's from DQ, then I tried a Sheriden's Coffee Frap and it was WEAK! Let's not think though about all the calories.....what's a girl to do? Then I discovered my own big taste, less calorie edition. I just get lowfat coffee ice cream and add skim milk and some chocolate syrup, stirred into a shake consistency and whhaaaala! Heaven in a bowl or tall glass! Homemade ones are now my favorite though I still will down a McD's frappe daily if I allowed myself !

I love love LOVE my guilty pleasure. It truly is good "me" time. Not that will ever stop me from milkshake runs...wink wink!

    I love mocha frappachinos. My husband's co-worker gave him a Starbucks Mocha Frappachino recipie a week or two ago. We haven't tried it out yet, but it looks like a pretty good recipe. I lived on those things (pretty much one a day) when I was pregnant with Ellie. Email me if you want the recipe.

    Oh, this sounds like a lot of fun! :D Count me in on this. hehe

    My husband and I are hooked on the Mocha Frappachino's from Starbucks. We don't like the stuff in the store, but the ones you can get in a bottle are super yummy!

    Thank you for posting this... I am doing it too. I do like my coffee (lattes at Starbucks) but not cold :) Now my kids like non-coffee fraps at Starbucks (not a good habit to start)
