A Day of Fun

Pioneer Day Fun

We planned and hosted an impromptu Pioneer Day Celebration.

We made Homemade Ice Cream and had people bring their

favorite toppings. We served Brownies and Homemade

Whole Wheat Bread with Butter and Honey Butter.

Everyone did more swimming than eating. The moment

the party was to end, one of the infamous Florida Afternoon

thunderstorms came...it was wicked with all the thunder and

lighting close by. Thank goodness it did not hamper our

afternoon of fun....

( I will say this until Caroline graduates...

I cannot BELIEVE for one minute that she is going to High

School this year. She will be in College and I will still have

her in Middle School!!!)

A great afternoon with wonderful company! Not how the early Pioneers would have envisioned we celebrate their arrival in the Salt Lake Valley.

Ice Cream In A Bag

Summer And Ice Cream

They Go Together!

Specifically....Homemade Ice Cream!

Homemade Ice Cream is always on my brain in July.

If we don't make it for July 4th, there is July 24th

(Pioneer Day, if you are Mormon, like me)

One fun and EASY way to make Homemade Ice Cream is in

Ziploc Bags. Your kids will love this. Trust me it really works.

I did this with Megan's entire school class in May and they loved it.

Meanwhile, I am searching for my stand-by Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe. It uses no eggs and does not require cooking. Any suggestions????? The recipe I think it is, I have posted below, but if you have one similar...share it, please.

Philadelphia Ice Cream
2 C. Heavy Cream
1 C. Whole Milk
3/4 C. Sugar
2 tsp. Real Vanilla
Do you have a recipe with similar ingredients? No eggs, no cooking? Just simple?
