Red, White, and Blue Ice Cream Treats!

If you're like me, you are off to a Fourth of July dinnertime picnic and you still haven't made dessert. And it's hot!

No worries! Here's a list of recipes that look pretty promising! Some are quick and easy, others you might want to start thinking about for next years' Fourth. On the otherhand, this Red, White, and Blue Ice Cream Floats recipe is a quick trip to the store on the way to your party and the rehearsed: "Sorry I couldn't assemble these in advance, but you know, it's ice cream and it would melt..." You are all set!

Got the vanilla ice cream but no where to put it? How about Red, White, and Blue Ice Cream Cones?

Sorry for the short post but my own party starts in a couple of hours and I have treats to make!!

Short but Sweet (Let's Link Up)

I have a ton to do today but can't miss the second to last National Ice Cream Month 2012 post...SO I am going to post a few links to things I have been meaning to post to forever...

First we have a nice recipe for Ten Minute Soft-Serve You Can Make in Your Food Processor. Thanks for sending, Dad!

Next we have a super cool link to dozens of photos of Vintage Ice Cream Trucks. This is amazing -- you could spend hours looking at this post. (Again, thanks for sending, Dad!)

I chose this image from the site because I love what it says: "Eat a Plate of Ice
Cream Every Day" -- For sure! Originally posted on Shorpy.com.

Then there is the super fun graphic, The History of Ice Cream Timeline. As you know, I love infographics and ice cream -- what could be better than this? Maybe an edible ice cream infographic...? Ok, maybe I am stretching a little. Maybe there IS nothing better. Thanks, Sister A for sending!

Finally, another link from Sister A: Ice Cream in a Baggie. Super cool!

I have a great family and great friends who keep me abreast on the latest ice cream findings -- the problem is, I am not the greatest at keeping up with posting!

Have a great second to last day of National Ice Cream Month and come back tomorrow for a guest post from a dear sister!

(Also, keep coming by in August. We already have two giveaways planned!)

Happy Easter Ice Cream Treats!

Yay Easter...a fun excuse to bake, make ice cream, eat chocolate, and just do something springy and fun. Of course I, like most, have my go to recipes but now that my little girl is five she wants to make things all by herself and Mom's boring cheesecake isn't it. It's usually some plain old cookies with the most decorations anyone could ask for. So this Easter I thought hmmm...what can we make besides Mom's same old go to recipes (not boring to Mom though!) oh and since its supposed to be 70 degrees on Easter here in New England (yippee for Mother Nature!) ice cream might just not be a bad idea. Check out these frosty Easter treats...just might change your mind from making carrot cake...again!
