I hate to even call this a recipe...I just threw some ingredients in a blender and whirred it up, but it came out really tasty and frothy.

3/4 c. milk
1 Tbsp. honey
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. ice
nutmeg

Directions

1. Blend the first four ingredients in a blender on high for two minutes.
2. Pour into a glass. Sprinkle with nutmeg.

Blender = Supercharged Cheese Grater

I recently purchased a new blender, as my old one broke in the middle of pureeing a soup. It was messy. I needed to grate a cup of Parmesan for tonight's dinner (roasted cauliflower fettuccine) so decided to try it in the blender.

Ten seconds after I started the blender, the cheese was completely broken down, even faster than in the food processor, and the blender is easier to clean. If I don't feel like grating by hand, this is going to be my go-to grating method for hard cheeses.
