Smores Cookies

We recently stayed the weekend up in the mountains with friends. The hubby requested smores cookies so I found this recipe. Now, I'm not a marshmallow fan, but this was amazing! I used pre-crushed graham cracker crumbs and Hershey chocolate bars. I've been thinking about making them again (and again lol). Definitely a winner for a real smores alternative.


Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

I had so much fun last year with my new (to me) electric Ice Cream maker, that I decided to branch out from Vanilla Bean to other flavors. Strawberries were on sale, so, after scouring Google, I found this one. I liked that it was eggless, required no cooking and added lemon juice and honey. I doubled the recipe and probably could have tripled it. I did use the blender to mix ingredients before putting it in the mixer. It took about an hour to mix and then transported to a container to continue to freeze. It was a big hit at a friend's Memorial Day BBQ. The best part was that it didn't require any cooking and chilling prior--ice cream ready in 1 hour!
