National Ice Cream Day

Happy National Ice Cream Day!

I can't think of what would be more fun in the Summer Time

than Celebrating an Ice Cream Day!

And yes...this is a real Holiday!

My Sweet Kids and I and their Meme jumped in 

on the Holiday and made our very own home made Ice Cream!

Check this Out!!

Making Ice Cream can be simple and fun!

We didn't even use our Ice Cream Machine. 

This is a Simplified Version of making our own flavors 

of yummy home made Ice Cream.

I use French Vanilla as our Base of Ice Cream. I like Breyers. 

You can use whatever Ice Cream Brand you like, but use Vanilla Flavor.

Bake a Basic White Cake. Yum!

Here's where it gets exciting!

Especially with my boys!

I am from New Orleans. (most of you know)

Home of Great Food...but importantly home of the

Snow Cones...and the best flavors of Snow Cones.

Check out my recent visit to NOLA Here!

So, yes you guessed it. This is Snow Cone Flavoring from New Orleans.

Great Addition in the Pantry! 

We will be making Snow Cones too!

My big guy Brooks chose Bubble Gum Flavor to make 

the most delicious Ice Cream. Very Kid Friendly! My Little guy Brody chose Cotton Candy 

to make Ice Cream next week. (can't make too many..right)

Just added some of the Bubble Gum Flavoring to the Melted Vanilla Ice Cream.

Then Broke up some of the White Cake into the Ice Cream.

Put the Ice Cream in my own Plastic or Glass Container to Freeze it again.

Of course I am a kid at heart!

I chose Wedding Cake Flavor! Yum!

I usually make 2 Flavors at a time. 

It gives everyone a chance to have a Bowl or Cone!

Ice Cream is way more fun with family and friends!

I let the Ice Cream Freeze for about 24 hours.

Voila ...we are having an Ice Cream Party 

with our very own Home Made Ice Cream...

Bubble Gum and Wedding Cake!

3 Scoops of Bubble Gum Ice Cream 

Topped with Sprinkles and a Sugar Cone!

We had a great time Celebrating our National Ice Cream Day!

It's fun to make memories and create traditions with family and friends.

Ice Cream is definitely a happy place!

Making your own Ice Cream can be fun and delicious!
