Recipe: Snow Ice Cream

Well the kiddos and I are home with a school snow day today, and our county has issued a state of emergency!  So we decided to have some fun together and use one of the ideas from my “40 Things to do on a School Snow Day“.  After an afternoon of shoveling we made some “Snow Ice Cream” as an afternoon treat!

Snow Ice Cream

6C of very clean snow*
1/2 C Sugar
1 C Milk
1 tsp Vanilla

Put the snow in your biggest bowl.
Sprinkle sugar over the top of the snow.
Add milk & vanilla and then gently stir until the snow squishes down to about 1/4 of the volume you started with.
Once everything seems fully combined, dish into bowls and enjoy immediately!

*we used snow that had accumulated on our deck railing)

Tutorial: How to Make a Hamburger Birthday Cakeke

After seeing several pictures online, I decided to create a Hamburger birthday cake for Buddy’s 6th birthday party. Well, we had already had a small immediate family cake for him~this was for the “friends are invited BBQ Birthday Party”.

This cake came out so cute!  It would be perfect for any BBQ or even say a 50’s drive thru theme party etc.
