Homemade Ice Cream (without a ice cream maker)



Hi Guys,

So I love ice cream and call me crazy but I just knew there had to be a way to make it without an ice cream maker. Besides the fact that is it just me but are ice cream cartons shrinking and the price sky rocketing? So anyhow, I was on this website for another reason and came across this recipe. After looking in my fridge and realizing I had all the ingredients I thought I'd give it a whirl. Without further ado, homemade ice cream

Simple ingredients: vanilla extract, sweetened condensed milk and heavy whipping cream.

Add vanilla to condensed milk and stir


Blend whipping cream until peaks form

Gently fold in whipping cream into milk/vanilla mixture

Cover and put in freezer safe bowl

Freeze! I did overnight.


So, I couldn't believe it worked! It didn't have any freezer burn on it and it's totally soft. It is pretty sweet so if/when I do this again I will decrease the amount of condensed milk. Overall I like it. Hubby doesn't like it said it taste like marshmallow, I disagree but any who, that's it for now, baby is awake and crying, until next time.  ;)

My Toxic Life

Image
Oh me oh my, I've been on this real food journey for a while. My ability to feed my family real food is limited to my budget but I do the best I can to feed my family whole organic foods. I'm frequently frightened to see what's in our food. Even feeding my family healthfully. Like say chicken breast instead of chicken nuggets, my chicken has arsenic and the chickens are fed GMO feed? Are you kidding me? Well, thank God for Costco that is where I get my organic meat it's not pasture fed but it's the best I can afford. Recently, I was taking a prenatal vitamin and after I swallowed it I thought, I wonder what the ingredients are, after all I take this so when we conceive again (hopefully) that my folic acid level is healthy and whatnot, well come to find out my vitamins since they aren't organic are full of toxins. Eesh. Nearly three months ago I looked at what's in my shampoo, yikes. Thus began my "no shampoo" journey. So far, I'm w...

Last Long Run

So week 11 is complete, I've been working this whole time to get to week 12 and this coming Sunday is finally PF Changs 1/2 marathon. Running this week went okay. The hubby was on nights and if I forgot to get my clothes out of the room before he went to bed then I had to wait until he woke up so it kinda threw me off but it's all good. My long run was Saturday and I ran 10 miles in 1hr 56 min and 10 sec. It made it an 11:37 mile. I know I'm so slow. After the run, I found myself concerned that I'm not going to like my time next weekend. The hubby believes if we adequately carb load and hydrate before the race it will make all the difference. I really really wanna meet my goal but at this point, I"m not sure I'm going to make it. Oh well, when it's all said and done, the ultimate goal is to finish right? Which that is one thing I'm pretty sure I can do. If you remember, can you please pray for me this weekend. I really wanna do well and I'm finding ...

Second Week, First Run and Spinach/Chicken Calzone

Image
Ran yesterday, plan this week is to run 3 miles first two runs then 3.5 last run of the week. Nothing too interesting, ran 3 miles, went slowly at 5.6, went hiking with the hubby on Saturday with some decent pain in my knees and wanted to take it slow in case I was sore or something. Had pain all down my right side towards the end and after, not sure what to think of that. I have a known hip injury that flares up sometimes on my right side, we'll have to wait and see what happens. Plan for dinner tonight was spinach and chicken calzone. In and effort to be more healthy, I made the calzone crust with whole wheat. Easy recipe from eatingwell.com, whole wheat flour, yeast, H2O, honey and salt. Quickly threw this together then let it rise twice, very simple. For the filling the original recipe calls for cooking the chicken in the frying pain with a little EVOO. I changed it up a little, I slowly boiled the chicken then shredded the chicken with two forks, cooked onion and garlic...
