This is exactly how I make my pina colada smoothies. The whole family loves them - they're even a hit with my super-picky 6 year old. Thanks for posting this here. -
LOVE it! I mean like 10 stars love it. I cut the recipe in half and then added 1.5 oz of rum; it filled up 3 martini glasses. YUMMO is all I can say! I used light unsweetened coconut milk and a squeeze of agave nectar in place of the honey with great results. Not too sweet and you could definitely taste the pineapple, coconut and banana flavors. Great recipe. Thanks. -
This was good. It was a good thing I liked it because the kids weren't interested in it and I got the whole pitcher to myself! I made it with canned pineapple. I think next time, I will use a frozen banana. Reviewed for Healthy Choices ABC tag.

56, an Army brat who has lived in 20 different locations [born in germany, went to kindergarten in japan] including new york city, palo alto CA, maine, georgia, chicago, after growing up in small-town kansas...
have some fabulous recipes from well-traveled army people...
recently started adding just a splash of bourbon or brandy to real maple syrup - and it really gives french toast or pancakes a special, more sophisticated flavor...
a friend jokes that bourbon is my new "secret ingredient" that i'll be adding to everything - it's not true but i'm telling you - you should try it! it's really very good [for adults, anyway]
sugarpea's apple pancake recipe is a deadringer for Walker Brothers Pancake House in north shore Chicago - i've searchd for this for 34 years - and it's easy as well as To Die For!!!
the Dutch Baby pancake is a huge seller there too - with the same gooey comfort-food but elegant batter...
also if you search for lettuce wrap - the 2 recipes for PF Chang's come up... this is also SO GOOD, truly a memorable entree...
for cookbooks: With a Jug of Wine, More Recipes With a Jug of Wine were written by the San Francisco Chronicle food writer decades ago - and most everything in them is superb - and i learned a lot as a new cook, young wife, from reading through them in the late 1970s... i got a [very French] sense of food as a way of life
