Ice cream Maker... Attempt #1!

Hi!  I'm back!  This spring has been CRAZY!  In only all the best ways... Weddings, Bachelorette parties, bridal showers, graduations and birthdays... But I'm back to share it all with you.  Here we go...

On my first attempt using my beautiful, delightful red ice cream maker, I decided to make something new and decadent... SALTED CARAMEL ICE CREAM.  It's been a new hit across the country at all the boutique creameries... In fact, I nearly melted when I first tasted it at Sweet Rose Creamery recently... so I thought I'd try my hand at it.

Wow, was it amazing... Next time, I'm making ice cream sandwiches!  Maybe with some melt in your mouth sugar cookies.  

Ice Cream Maker = Summertime Magic!

Ok, so it's almost summer... and summer makes me feel like a little kid again.

In fact, I definitely haven't grown out of my little kid habits of eating massive quantities of ice cream and other frozen treats.  I remember eating frozen lemonade on the Boston Common before taking a swan boat ride.  And then, tricking my Dad into getting me a Ben & Jerry's cone afterward.  Oh, those were the days... the hot summer days (when I could still eat waffle cones) in Boston or on Cape Cod or Martha's Vineyard.  Well, let me just tell you that not much has changed.  I still eat my fair share of ice cream and smoothies.  =)
