I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

It was an ice cream extravaganza this weekend. Homemade ice cream experiments have taken over my freezer.

Last weekend, I purchased really good organic ice cream from our local all organic vegetarian grocery store -Down to Earth. My boys loved it. After recently finishing off a container of ice cream from Costco, they realized there was a difference.

We had a serious discussion about using good quality organic ingredients versus ingredients used to make mass produced ice cream. Actually its really about the air and making ice cream in small batches with the best ingredients that you like.

My boys have proclaimed themselves ice cream connoisseurs. They now insist I buy the good organic store ice cream, or make it at home.

Truthfully, I have had a beautiful ice cream maker sitting in the cabinet for a few years. After dusting it off, we made a few yummy batches of ice cream. The whole family gave it a thumbs up.

Whole, good quality ingredients, will make you feel full and satisfied. You actually can't eat to much, because it really is very rich.

I loved that I could control every ingredient and adjust flavors based on our personal preferences. Customized just for our tastebuds makes my ice cream maker worth every penny. They really aren't very expensive, but they are big and take up a lot of real estate in my cabinets. For a family that loves ice cream, it was a yummy investment.

I made a bunch of healthy low calorie ice creams to, they are virtually guilt free. I hope to post how to videos and recipes soon. There is a spinach ice cream recipe that I'm a little nervous about, but the reviews say its good. I will let you know ;)

Life is sweet, wishing you lots of yummy bites.
Aloha,
Maile
