I feel your pain — it gets SO hot and humid here in Arkansas, the humidity is really what does a person in. This Summer has been surprisingly mild…it’s the first Fourth of July in I don’t know HOW long that a burn ban hasn’t been in effect.
This shake — I love lemon anything! Need.
108!?!?!? How are you still alive right now? That is ridiculous beyond measure.
But these milkshakes are not ridiculous. In fact they are genius!
Right? And it’s been over 100 for a week, supposed to do the 108 thing again today. #Ihatesummer Thanks Shelly!
I am new to loving lemon desserts, but this shake is something I cannot wait to try!! YUM!
Awww man! Now here I am craving milkshakes at 8 in the morning! This is a winner for real!
Oh what fun! I love vanilla.
Pinned.
Have a marvelous week Dorothy!
Thanks for the pin Melanie!
Lemon pie is my favorite in the summer! And this milkshake sounds incredible, I mean lemon curd in there? I could eat that by the spoonful! And I love your messy kitchen photos. I feel like I’m not the only one in the world that makes photography/food experimenting messes 🙂 And even still, mine are way worse!
Girl, sometime you should see what my house looks like after a shoot. And if I’m doing it for more than one recipe? It might look like that for days because after 3 shoots + all that goes with, cleaning up and putting away is not my strong suit!
Your trainer sounds awesome! Not preachy but the kind of person I’d like to work out with!
The only way to deal with a billion degrees is probably this milkshake. Looks awesome! Love the Golden Oreo crust idea!
This post is actually a fastidious one it assists

Why am I not surprised AT ALL that you did a lemon milkshake! You’re the queen of lemon and I love that! And anything with golden oreos/nilla wafers, and pudding mix has got to be so awesome! Pinned of course!

Lemon Pie is my fav. Golden Oreo’s are my LOVE and it’s about 2 zillion degrees in Florida.
I want to marry this.
