Elanor's Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie
1 1/2 c. strawberry ice-cream or frozen yogurt
3/4 c. strawberry nectar*
1/4 c. low fat sour cream
3 Tablespoons cream cheese
2-3 cups fresh strawberries, frozen.
Okay, Hobbits probably didn't have blenders. But if they had, they would've wanted to drink this!
Put everything but the strawberries in the blender and blend. Add frozen berries and blend til smooth. Serve with graham crackers if you really want the whole experience...wow...
You can also make this with cranberry-raspberry juice instead of the nectar.
*Note from Aerliniel: I couldn't find strawberry nectar, so I just used banana strawberry nectar instead and it was amazing! Also, I think this is more of a milkshake than a smoothie. :)

6 TBSP butter or margarine, slightly softened
2 cups self-rising flour
1 TBSP granulated sugar
½ cup raisins (optional)
1 egg, well beaten
½ cup milk
4 TBSP heavy cream
Mallorn leaves
With a pastry blender of fork, cut margarine into the flour in a mixing bowl until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Do this rapidly so the butter does not melt. Add the sugar and if desired, ½ cup of raisins. In a small bowl, beat the egg and milk together until mixed. Reserve 1 TBSP of this mixture to brush the tops of the Lembas. Add the cream and egg mixture to the flour and mix just until combined into a stiff, soft dough. Knead three or four times on a lightly floured surface. Roll dough to a ¾" thickness and cut with an oval or leaf shaped cookie cutter. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet, leaving 1" of space between Lembas. Brush the tops of the Lembas with the reserved egg-milk mixture. Bake for 12 -13 minutes in a preheated 400 degree oven.
For safe keeping, wrap each Lembas individually in a fresh, clean Mallorn leaf. If these leaves are unavailable in your area, store the Lembas in a tightly closed container. Makes about 1 ½ dozen Lembas.
