Shake it up, baby!

..Twist and shout!

Nothing a little bit o' twisting and shouting with the Beatles to start your Wednesday off!! :)

Two weeks ago, I hosted my women's small group at our house.  I wanted to make a fun fall-ish dessert for our evening together, which also happened to be the first snow of....fall!?
Life in the Midwest, go figure:)

So I whipped up some tasty gingersnap pumpkin milkshakes.....hence the shake it up baby play on words ;-) 

Gingersnap Pumpkin Milkshakes

• 12-15 small gingersnap cookies
• 1-1 1/2 pints of vanilla ice cream
• 1/2 cup of cold skim milk
• 1 cup of canned pumpkin ( I ended up using the whole can, cause I'm a pumpkin fiend:)
• 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
• (Optional) Cool Whip topping and gingersnap cookies for scooping/snacking

1// Put gingersnap cookies into blender on high speed until pulverized into fine crumbs

2// Add all the yumminess: pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, ice cream, and milk
Blend on high speed until mixture well combined

3// If too thick add more milk...if too thin add a little more ice cream

4// Pour into pretty glasses (cause it makes the shake drinking experience that more enjoyable:) and enjoy the taste of fall!
