Do you ever wake-up in the morning just knowing it’s going to be a great day? I mean, you have to go to bed first, which is something I’ve been missing the last few nights since my babies have been trading-off with refusing to sleep. Parenthood = Awesome. But Friday…just like TOMORROW? That’s going to be a great day. And I think, just before we head over to that 7:30pm showing of The Force Awakens, we’re going to enjoy a Star Wars Rebel Alliance Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Float. So yummy. Best, most refreshing way to beat-back the dark side. So what if they have cookies. The light side has floats. Heh.
Do you see it in the pics? The little bits of chocolate all up in the strawberry? That’s a little bit of everything-is-awesome right there. Oh, and did I forget to mention that this is a totally dairy-free recipe? Heck yeah. There’s like no milkies and it will not make your tummy hurt at all. Amazing, yeah? I tell ya what, you just make this and, trust me, all thoughts of the dark side will be out of your head. Until Vader shows up at your door with cookies again, but just offer him one of these and he’ll have you calling him Anikin by the last slurp of the straw. Heh.
Man, I’m just such a nerd. Please forgive me for being this odd. Love me for it. You know you want to.
