Summer Recipe Round-Up
Today we're sharing recipes for side dishes, salads and desserts. With these tried-and-true recipes, we'll be extremely popular and get invited to all sorts of picnics this summer. And if we don't want to go, we'll stay home and be very well fed.
My recipe is great for kids. It's been a HUGE hit at bar-b-cues and kids' birthday parties. Here goes!
ICE CREAM IN A BAG
1 gallon ziploc bag
1 quart ziploc bag (heavy duty)
4 cups ice (1 liter ice)
1/4 cup salt (60 mL salt)
1 cup whole milk or 1/2 and 1/2 cream (250 mL milk or 1/2 and 1/2)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 mL vanilla extract)
2 Tablespoons sugar (30 mL sugar)
cups and spoons
1. Pour milk, vanilla extract and sugar into the small ziploc bag. Squeeze as much air out as possible and seal the bag carefully.
2. Place the small ziploc bag down into the large bag. Cover with ice and salt. Seal the large bag tightly.
3. Shake, toss, flip this ziploc "ice cream machine" for 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Open both bags and spoon the ice cream into small cups. Enjoy!
Variations:
1. Substitute other extract flavors for the vanilla.
2. Omit the vanilla and half the sugar. Add strawberry or chocolate syrup to the milk mixture.
3. Use chocolate milk.
4. Garnish with sprinkles, gummi candy, M&Ms.

Ack! I can't believe I forgot to remind you guys to visit the Class of 2k8's blog this week. It's N.A. Nelson's launch for her middle-grade Bringing the Boy Home. N.A. Nelson is responsible for me being in the Class of 2k8. She found me wandering around, lost and lonely, on myspace and invited me to the class. Thanks!!
