Homemade Ice Cream in less than 10 minutes.

I have to say thank you to my good friend, Laura, who posted THIS the other day about making ice cream in a baggie. She found the original recipe HERE.

I made two batches last night. One batch I put Reeces Pieces with whole milk in and the other I made plain vanilla and used a low fat milk. I didn't have any half and half or light cream so I mixed the heavy cream with milk. Also, I'm thinking that next time the candies should be added a little bit later after it starts firming up.

Hope you enjoy this recipe and experiment with different flavors. I want to try making cookies and cream next!

GUEST POST!

And here are a couple videos we took that I saved just for my readers :)

Another made up recipe by me.

So tonight for dinner I made up Red Wine Lemon Chicken. Katie helped me with the sauce we had on the spaghetti with the chicken. The kids didn't like this one quite as much as last nights dinner, maybe you have to have a taste for red wine in order to enjoy this one ;)


3 Chicken breasts
1 Lemon
1 Onion
Red Wine
Parsley

I cut up one lemon and put it on the bottom of the pan. Put the chicken on top of the lemon pieces. Cut an onion on top of the chicken. Pour wine on top of that. And sprinkle parsley on top of everything. Covered with foil and put in the oven at 375 degrees for 1.5 hours


We all ate dinner, then while I did the dishes and put the food away the kids gave their dad a back rub. Then we all had cake :)

I made up a recipe tonight.

I was wondering what to make for dinner tonight, so, I looked around the kitchen to see what we had and this is what I came up with. Katie, my three year old niece, helped me make it. The casserole actually turned out good and the kids loved it. Calvin, my two year old nephew, really liked it which is good because he has been kinda picky lately.

I was feeling a little over confident with my cooking skills so I decided to make a cake after dinner. About 25 minutes into the cake baking I noticed that it smelled like it was done so I checked it (it still had 10 minutes to go), the top was burnt! I then noticed I had set the temperature at 475 degrees instead of 375 degrees :( But the good thing is that it is an angel food cake so the top came right off and the rest of it is still good :)

Anyway, so here's my Chicken Casserole.


2 Chicken Breasts
About 1/2 lb of egg noodles
1 Can Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
1 Can of Milk (I just filled the chicken soup can with milk)
1 Can Sweet Corn
1 Can Fancy Cut Green Beans
2 Eggs


- Boil noodles.
- Fry Chicken with garlic herb seasoning. Cut into bite size pieces. (I had to put them back in the pan and boil them because they weren't done cooking).
- Beat the eggs; add in corn, green beans, cream of chicken soup, milk and about 1/3 cup of bread crumbs and MIX!
- Stir in chicken pieces and noodles.
- Spoon mix into pan (9"x13").
- Sprinkle bread crumbs on top.
- Pour a little bit of milk over top of stuff.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
