McDonald's Shakes
All right, it's the middle of summer and it's dang hot out. Wouldn't it be nice if we could whip up a little something to help keep those beads of sweat from rollin'? Check out how simple it is to recreate any of the three flavors of McDonald's thick shakes from scratch. Just three ingredients to each clone. And the secret ingredient for the chocolate and strawberry flavors is Nesquik mix. How McEasy is that? Throw everything in a blender and press a button -- the one on the right. And if you want your shake thicker, just put it in the freezer for a while. That's it!

If you live in one of the 15 Western states served by Jack in the Box, you have no doubt cracked a gut from the hilarious TV ads produced by this popular hamburger chain. In the spots a suit-wearing "Jack" runs the company, even though he's got a bulbous antenna ball for a head with a giant smiley-face painted on it. He has a private jet, plays golf, even has kids with mini antenna-ball heads. Jack also has a featured shake flavor that, it turns out, is very easy to make at home with a blender, ice cream, milk and a handful of Oreo cookies. Sure the drive-thru is convenient and easy. But if you don't feel like getting out, now you can enjoy this clone at home from the first fast food chain in the country to use a drive-thru window way beck when.3 cups vanilla ice cream
1 1/2 cups milk
8 Oreo cookies
1. Combine the ice cream and milk in a blender and mix on low speed until smooth. Stir the shake with a spoon to mix, if necessary.
2. Break Oreo cookies while adding them to the blender. Mix on low speed for 5 to 10 seconds or until cookies are mostly pureed into the shake, but a few larger pieces remain. Stir with a spoon if necessary to help combine cookies.
3. Pour shake into two 12-ounce glasses.
