Mrs. Thompson’s Double Chocolate Smoothie
We had two of my sons friends stay with us this past week, and while it was loads of fun, and hysterically funny, food was a big issue. I could write a quick mini-book on how to feed young teenage boys in a healthy way, and how to battle the contraband junk food bags that sneak in..
