I'm Addicted to...


Got your attention didn't I?  I made ice cream this weekend for the first time and I am addicted!  Michael's mom gifted me an ice cream machine quite a few years ago and sadly, I have never used it.  What was I thinking?  Obviously, I wasn't... this machine rocks!  I followed the machine recipe for the first batch - it was goooood.  The kids actually said it was the best ice cream they had ever had - no doubt with the heavy amount of cream, half and half, and sugar:)  Here it is:


Today I tried a recipe from the Pioneer Woman and  to quote the LEGO Movie - "Oh My G-O-S-H!"  I made Grater's Blackberry Chip ice cream!!  For those that don't know, Grater's is probably one of the best spots in Cincinnati, and definitely the best ice cream shop in the country!   Their ice cream is so rich and delicious and full of chocolate chunks.  Anyway, here's the backstory:  While I was pregnant with E-I had gestational diabetes which meant no sugar!  After I delivered, my good friend Angie sent me a box of various flavors of  Grater's ice cream from Ohio.  This is probably my favorite delivery of all time! Both E- and the ice cream (haha)  Anyway, I have never forgotten and although I have seen a few flavors of Grater's ice cream in a few supermarkets here and there, now I can make my own!!  

This is amazing.  This is magnificent.  This could be a problem....

Thank you Pioneer Woman!  I had to have a little of both -  it started melting in the heat!
