Perfect for Summer! No Churn Ice Cream Recipe

Last week I posted a link to this article on my Facebook Page. At first I just thought it was interesting. Then I realized that it might be the perfect solution to my dilemma.

Worst Ice Cream Ever

The Dilemma: My wife loves peach ice cream. This is not actually a problem -- I like it too. However, I've had a VERY hard time finding it. So, when I found the Harris Teeter brand Summer Peach ice cream, I thought I was in heaven.  Unfortunately, it was the WORST ICE CREAM  I EVER HAD. It was icy. It was chalky. It was so bad, I actually stopped eating it and threw it out.

Solution: When you can't find what you want, you've gotta do it yourself. So, I followed the simple ingredient list (only 3!) and directions. Then I added chopped frozen peaches.

The Verdict: ABSOLUTE YUM!  The ice cream is very smooth and creamy. It is a little soft, and melts a little faster than "real" ice cream. But trust me, it won't be in your bowl long enough to melt.

Ingredients:
2 cups of heavy whipping cream
14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons of good vanilla extract
A container for freezing. I used a loaf pan.

I'm Baaaack!!!

Did you miss me?  Yeah, I missed you too, my valued readers. It's good to be back!

This blog has been on a hiatus the past few years. Work, family and even a brief relocation, contributed to my absence. However, I've been enjoying some of the new(ish) restaurants in the area during the past few weeks, and will soon begin posting reviews of Verde (Huntersville), Kindred and Toast (both in Davidson).

Over the coming weeks, I'll be bringing everything back up-to-speed, so you can expect restaurant reviews, wine ratings and recipes. Also, now that I'm a dad, you can expect a little more emphasis on the child friendliness of a restaurant. :)

Do you have any suggestions of new restaurants that I shouldn't miss? Are there some old standards that I need to revisit?  Let me know!
