Summertime = Homemade Ice Cream!!!

Summertime brings many wonderful opportunities to enjoy life (minus mosquitoes  gnats, flies, etc)!   But, I choose to ignore those little annoyances and look forward to one of my favorite things about summer – homemade ice cream.  As far back as I can remember, the signal for summer’s arrival was my dad going to the garage and retrieving the crank-type ice cream maker.  Then you would find mom in the kitchen “whipping” up a batch of her famous ice cream mixture (which was a “production”).  Next I would have the privilege of sitting atop the cold mound of ice and rock salt while my dad cranked and cranked and cranked some more.  I must admit my spirit was not so sweet by the end of the process.  But the end result was delicious.

Now I am a traditional girl through and through but one tradition that I did not carry on – the crank ice cream maker.  Today one of my absolutely favorite kitchen appliances is my Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker.  It is simple, fast and successful every time. (Success is a big thing since the last thing I used the ice/rock salt method, we had a rock hard layer on the bottom of the container and soup for the remaining layers.)

For Memorial day, I asked my family what flavor of ice cream – they unanimously agreed on Mint Chocolate Chip.  My husband googled this recipe and it is the best I have ever tasted and so very easy.  So as we prepare for our July 4th celebration, we are repeating this delicious find.  I think it will become a family favorite for you, too!!
