Ice Cream Sundays!

I decided to start a new family tradition for this summer - called, you guessed it, Ice Cream Sundays! Every Sunday, I will make an ice cream treat. My goals in doing this are to create family memories, have something fun to look forward to doing together, and enjoy a cool treat in the heat of the summer! I will post a recipe each Saturday in case you want to join in too! Then, on Monday, I'll move the post back to the top with a review on how we liked it. Please feel free to add your own thoughts too! Here's the one for this week:

Strawberry Shakes
In a blender, combine 1 pint strawberry ice cream, 1 cup frozen strawberries (4 ounces), and 1 cup milk; puree on high speed until smooth. Pour into four chilled glasses. Serve immediately, over ice, if desired. Serves 4.

Update: The shakes were a big hit and I made the extra into popsicles! We're looking forward to next week!

I just had a lovely bowl of strawberry ice cream!

Yumm!

I am working on a summer plan of things to do with the kids every day.
So many summers we become stagnant, not doing anything but puttering around the house.
