Coffee Toffee Ice Cream

coffee toffee ice cream recipe

I really love my ice cream maker.  I have not bought ice cream at the grocery store since I bought it.  I have gotten a lot of email and comments about my ice cream maker so I figured that I would answer them here as well.  I have this Cuisinart one and I really like it a lot.  It is on the lower end of the spectrum as far as price.  I think that I got mine for $65 using a Bed, Bath, and Beyond coupon.  There are way more expensive machines out there, but I wanted to see how much I really … [Read more...]

peanut butter ice cream recipe

A few weeks ago we decided to head downtown and see where the evening took us.  It was a beautiful summer night.  Not too hot with a slight breeze.  We met some of our friends for dinner and afterward went to Freemont Park to play.  To cap off our night we made a stop at the window at Hot Italian.  Hot Italian is a super cute pizza place.  They have Vespas everywhere and the best gelato around.  They have a cannoli gelato that is my favorite but my husband ordered the peanut butter and … [Read more...]

It sure is hot around these parts.  We had such a mild beginning to our summer and then, BAM!  100+ degrees for days at a time.  The kind of heat that makes you want to sit around in your pj's in your cool house and do nothing but read books and eat popsicles all day.  I am okay with that, are you? These two little people seem to be as well. They think that these berry popsicles are pretty delicious.  I would bet that other people would too.  Would you like to know how we made … [Read more...]

Does anything say summer more than strawberry ice cream?  Here in California, the strawberry season is in full swing and these little red gems were screaming to be made into an ice cream.  I love my ice cream maker so much that I will not buy ice cream in the grocery store anymore.  It is just so easy to make at home and tastes so amazing.  Plus my children think that it is pure magic that you pour some liquid into a little machine and ice cream comes out.  Who am I to disappoint … [Read more...]

mint chocolate chip recipe

When I was in high school, I had pretty much the best job ever.  I worked in an ice cream parlor that served homemade ice cream.  I used to work in the back and made batch after batch of ice cream.  People always used to ask me if I got tired of ice cream.  In all honesty, not ever once.  I could eat it all day, every day.  I worked there for 7 years and I did eat it every day.  The woman that owned it, Marlene, was one of the kindest and most loving people that I have been lucky enough … [Read more...]
