Pink Ice Cream

Continuing with my love of fruit sorbets this summer,

I have to show you this one!  Not only is it amazingly

delicious, but that color!  It's gorgeous...it's pink...

and it's so girly! ha.

"Private Selection" is from Kroger....all of the

food I have bought under this label has been delicious!

Eating this reminded me

 of this little poem from a book I

had when I was a little girl.

It's one of the very few things I have from my

childhood.  I loved this little book and can

still remember all the little rhymes.

Yes, pink ice cream is lickety good!

Snow Ice Cream

This is for Yuji! :)

I had snow ice cream on my Winter Fun To Do List

and forgot to post about it!  I'd never had it before

and was curious as to how it would turn out.

There are lots of recipes posted online and I picked

the easiest one. 

 You whisk sweetened condensed milk

into a bowl of clean, fresh snow.  Add as much milk as

you need to get the right consistency. 

My snow was the light, fluffy kind.  6 cups of snow

took about 1/3 can of the milk.

The taste was like vanilla ice cream.

The texture more like a snow cone.

I'd say this is certainly done for the novelty 

of it and not the quality of the finished product.

But it was fun and I think kids would think it

was an awesome thing to do.  

And it would make a very fun winter tradition!

Ginger Cookie and Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream Sandwich

So two days ago I showed you my yummy chewy ginger cookies. 

 Then yesterday I was talking about ice cream season being

over.  But a light bulb went on that pumpkin ice cream would 

be really good with those cookies!  I picked up some pumpkin

cheesecake ice cream at the grocery today!  I didn't even put the

groceries away before making this.  ha.  It was 2pm and I 

called it lunch.  And yeah, it was wonderful!

I think we have a new fall tradition!

The ice cream is Kroger's Private Selection

Ice Cream, A Creative Tuesday Entry

please click to enlarge

Ice cream is my favorite summertime dessert, so it was really fun

to be able to sketch a yummy banana split in a brown transferware

bowl for my Creative Tuesday entry! My favorite part of eating

ice cream is the hot fudge! If you need a good recipe for hot fudge

click HERE for mine. It's thick and fudgey and perfect.

Life is like an ice-cream cone, you have to lick it one day at a time.

What's your favorite flavor?

Personally, I like them all!

But I usually choose something with chocolate and caramel in it.
