Ice Cream in a Can!

Looking for something new to entertain the kids during the dog days of summer?  Made this with Jake yesterday, we had such fun with it. I subbed whipping cream for the half and half, it was what I had on hand.


Instead of bags, I put the ingredients in a small coffee can, taped the lid on, then put it inside a larger coffee can.

We layered the ice and rock salt, put the lid on, then taped that lid on. .


We rolled and shook the can for about 10 mins


For a more firm ice cream, I'd recommend freezing it for about 15 or 20 minutes before serving, but Jake liked the soft serve consistency.

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract. 

Easy Stuffed Waffles with Sweet and Savory Fillings

Stuffed waffles are a fun twist on the classic waffle—crispy on the outside and packed with tasty fillings inside. I recently got a stuffed waffle maker, and I’m loving how it turns waffles into little pockets of deliciousness! The best part? You don’t need a strict recipe because this is a perfect “clean out the fridge” meal. Grab whatever leftovers or fillings you have on hand, stuff ’em inside, and waffle away! Here’s what I tried this time, but feel free to get creative and make it your own.
