Home Made Ice Cream

It is July 4th,  American Independence Day!

It's a day off, in the middle of the week, in the middle of the summer.  Weird for sure.  What is on the schedule for the day? Not much - some tidying up of the house - kids are playing....

Trip to Walmart later to gather supplies for making homemade icecream!  Yes, I should have prepared ahead of time, but I didn't.  It is an area I am working on - preparing, planning ahead.  Just haven't arrived yet! 

We love home made ice cream!
We have a 6 quart ice cream freezer - White Mountain brand.

The recipe I use was passed on to me by my husbands' mother.
Here it is in case you want to try your hand at home made ice cream!
