I'm running out of ways to say just how hot it is, this is getting old! And it's going to get even hotter this week with 6 days of triple digit heat, so any way to keep cool is a must! I've found a neat idea that not only will cool you off but give those bored kiddo's something fun to do and eat! Home made ice cream in a bag!
Homemade Ice Cream in a Bag
1/2 c. half and half
1 T. sugar
1/4 t. vanilla
1 small ziploc bag ( sandwich size)
I gal. ziploc bag
3 c. crushed ice
1/3 c. rock salt
Put first 3 ingredients in the small ziploc bag, seal tightly. Put ice and rock salt in the big ziploc bag, then place the small bag in the big bag and seal. Squeeze bag till the cream mixture thickens, about 10-15 min. Remove from big bag, unseal and eat with spoon, no need to dirty a bowl!
This recipe makes a yummy vanilla ice cream, but to make a chocolate bag, just add some chocolate syrup to the mix, to taste but not too much. How easy was that! A cool treat anytime!
Now, onto our TT book winner, Kim from Home is Where the Heart Is! Congrats Kim, your number came up at Random.org so send me your mailing info. so I can get the book to you!

Love your new header!
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. It has been very hot this summer. Reading your recipe for homemade ice cream reminds me of when I was young and made ice cream with my Mom many times. This recipe will be so much FUN to make with our youngest daughter Destiny. Cool and Yummy!
Smiles, Paula
What a neat recipe! Sounds easy and fun, especially for kids. I love the barn picture!
ReplyDeleteYou stay out of the heat this week, girl. It's pretty dangerous out there. I keep thinking it's going to end soon, but I guess it's just not ready.
I hope you weather cools soon. It was 114 at my son`s home yesterday in Yuma south of us. We were about 100 with 40% humidity. Phoenix will be 110 today so our temps will be close to 100 again. Your ice cream recipe sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteCute, cute header. This really is a neat ice cream for the kids to have fun with. Our grandson learned to make this at one of his science club meetings this past year. We made sherbert at Easter and they all loves it. Stay cool... 112 here today
ReplyDeleteTotally digging the header!
ReplyDeleteMy 72 year old mom said this to me the other day and I got so tickled about it..."Satan called and he wants his weather back!"
I like the changes you made to your blog. Try and keep cool today:)

I have heard of making ice cream this way, but never tried it. This would be a fun thing to do with children!
