Making Ice Cream Bread!

One of my friend's had put a recipe on my Facebook page for ICE CREAM BREAD!  I know -- sounds a bit weird yet appealingly yummy doesn't it?

Well, I mentioned that to the boys and they wanted to try it out.



With only two ingredients needed I was all for trying it out.  Ian got out the bowl, measuring cup and spoon as well as the self- rising flour (you can use regular flour too just add 1 1/2 tsp. of baking powder and 1/2 tsp. salt to every cup of four).

The one cup measure was dirty from all the earlier baking I did and so we only had a half- cup measure to work with.

I told Ian we needed 2 cups of ice cream and 1 1/2 cups self- rising flour and right away he knew we needed to fill the measuring cup 4 times with ice cream and 3 times with flour.

The younger two boys picked out the ice cream to use-- we decided on Butter Crunch (and since we didn't have quite enough we added a bit of heath bar crunch).

Once everything was measured into the bowl the boys all took turns stirring it together.  It does come out pretty thick like real bread dough and needs some muscle behind the stirring but they didn't seem to mind.

While they were stirring I greased and floured the loaf pan and preheated the oven to 350.  We dumped the mixture from the bowl into the loaf pan and spread it out as best we could then popped it in the oven for 45 minutes and eagerly awaited our results.

It looked and smelled so good, we could hardly wait for it to cool off.   It was delicious! 


Moist and a bit sweet the boys decided it mainly tasted like "regular" bread.  Before they had even finished their slice of bread they were already talking about the next time and deciding what types of ice cream to try.  This could lead to a whole new round of experimenting!

Prime Purchases I Made in March

Image
 Happy April Fool's day to you! It's the first Monday of the month and time for Prime Purchases with Tanya.  I was doing so well with my Amazon purchases right up until the end of the month when we decided to host Easter dinner at our house and I felt like I "needed" so much not having any Easter decorations at all.  I bought a few new cardigans for this "in between" season and really love this cable knit one so much it's all I can do to keep myself from buying a second one! I also like this gray one.. . but I find myself wishing I had bought it a different color since it's not very "spring" feeling.  Evan needed some new hiking shoes and we really wanted something waterproof this year but our local shoe stores didn't have anything that worked so we turned to Amazon and he found this pair that he really likes.  I've been working on lots of scrapbook pages and I needed to buy some more of these adhesive refills and Cricut cutting

Alec's Accepted Student Day at JWU

Image
Last spring when Alec started his college planning I was pretty surprised that he only wanted to visit 2 colleges out of state (he visited a few in-state with his high school culinary class).  He ultimately decided to apply to just the 2 colleges we visited-- Johnson and Wales University (JWU) and the Culinary Institute of America (CIA). Both ranked as the #1 & #2 schools in the U.S for culinary and baking/pastry arts. Funny enough out of his 2 culinary teachers he's had in high school one attended each of those schools!  Photo of harborside campus from last spring JWU Future wildcat photo also from last spring Visiting the CIA over the summer We were lucky that both schools are easily visited in a day and we had a great time touring them both. Alec made sure to ask lots and lots of questions. The two schools were so comparable to one another that we had quite the pro/con list going.  He LOVED the CIA's campus and that it was along a river and rather rural and quiet... but

Day in the Life: Friday Favorites

Image
 I decided to document last Friday for today's Friday Favorites post. I hardly ever document a day in the life anymore now that my boys are grown and mostly on their own. But I knew we had a pretty full day and thought it might be fun.  These are some of my favorite posts to read and I think I did a pretty great job remembering to document and take pictures for the whole day! 5:00 wake up and I allow myself to blog, read emails, etc. until 5:30 5:30 get up, get dressed for the gym, put away my laundry from the night before, make the bed. 5:45 head downstairs to make Alec's lunch (1/2 way though he came to the balcony to tell me he wasn't going to school since he wasn't feeling well-- he's 18 and allowed to make this call himself).  I decided to make a salad, some chicken salad, hard boil some eggs, and cut up all the fruit since we had just done groceries after dinner last night and none of that had been done yet. I emptied, reloaded, and restarted the dishwasher.
