Boozy Cinnamon Toast Crunch Fried Ice Cream
Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner and I have a fun and easy dessert that the whole family can help make. Even though I am calling it Cinnamon Toast Crunch “Fried” Ice Cream, there is no frying involved and it has all of the flavors of the traditional dessert. I was inspired by a traditional recipe found on Tater Tots and Jello. The more traditional version of this dessert uses corn flakes and cinnamon, but when you use Cinnamon To... Read More
Lucky Charms Ice Cream
I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite parts of eating cereal is when the cereal is gone and you are left with the  yummy milk at the bottom. I slurp that up! Years ago, I took that concept and started to make ice cream out of it. Since St. Patty’s Day is coming up, I thought why not try it with one of my favorite cereals from when I was a kid… Lucky Charms. And just like the cereal, Lucky Charms Ice Cream is magically delicious!... Read More
Ice Cream, Ice Cream…Let Me Be Your Ice Cream
Oh the Bieber craze! I turned some simple ingredients into a killer Bieber Boyfriend Pop Star Berry Blast Ice Cream. “I would pay just about anything not to take my daughter to go see Justin Bieber”- my friend “Define anything?” –me And with that began what one can only call my greatest money making endeavors of all time. For a small fee plus the cost of transportation, my ticket, and snacks I provided the service that so many of... Read More

How to Make Ice Cream
Tired of paying the high price of store-bought ice cream? Why not make your own? I remember as a child, my dad would haul out a huge old-timey wash tub along with a large bag of rock salt to make our favorite family treat, homemade ice cream. The process was slow, messy and sooooo loooong! It would take several hours before any ice cream was actually seen, much less eaten. Drove a kid crazy! Things sure changed since then. Now instead of usin... Read More
Sweet Ice Cream Sodas
Ice cream sodas aren’t just for malt shops and old-time diners. They’re also a really fun dessert to offer at barbecues and dinner parties. When it comes to making ice cream sodas, you have to start with cold soda. Ice cold, really. So make sure it’s been well-refrigerated before you start to make your ice cream soda. Also, the ice cream should be soft enough to scoop. Hard ice cream just doesn’t work here. As for flavors, that’... Read More
Bites and Pieces – Rock UR Party
I'm fairly certain that it's safe to say that strawberries are my ultimate summertime "go to" fruit. I start buying them from my local farmer's market pretty much as soon as they hit the table, pop them into the freezer for safe keeping and then throw them into any and every thing that I stuff in my face. They make everything delicious! And there's really no better way to use them than in something frozen or frosty. Apparently, I'm not alone i... Read More

Let's be honest, to really rock a party you need to serve up something delish that will blow the minds of your guests. While a great cocktail can stir up excitement, an amazing dessert always has the best potential for a cerebrum blast. Trust me, I do not look down my nose at the ease and convenience of regular ice cream, but when I saw these three frozen citrus delights from our food friends on the web, ordinary went right out the door.
