Homemade Vanilla or Cookies & Cream Ice Cream

I had extra whipping cream in my fridge from the chocolate ice cream we made last week, so we had to make more ice cream tonight.  I'm glad we did, because it sure was yummy.
We used the recipe for Old Fashioned Vanilla that was inside my ice cream maker owner's guide, then we added chopped up Oreos at the end to make it Cookies & Cream Ice Cream.  There are lots of other mix-ins that I'd love to try.  Or just plan vanilla would be yummy too.  

Old Fashioned Vanilla Ice Cream
recipe from Rival (model 8151) Electric Ice Cream Maker Owner's Guide
makes 1 1/2 quarts

3/4 c. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1 3/4 c. whole milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 c. whipping cream
1 T. pure vanilla extract

Combine sugar, salt and milk in saucepan.  Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until mixture almost boils.  Reduce heat to low.

Gradually stir about 1/2 c. of hot milk into the beaten eggs.  Add eggs to remaining hot mixture.  Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.  Remove from heat and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Combine whipping cream, vanilla and chilled mixture, stirring with a wire whisk to combine.

Pour into canister and freeze according to ice cream maker instructions.

To make Cookies & Cream Ice Cream:  add 1/2 c. of chopped/crumbled chocolate sandwich cookies during the last 5 minutes of freezing.

Is it done yet Mom?

One Hour Rolls

These rolls are amazing!  I've been making these rolls since 2001 when I was a newlywed and my sister-in-law shared the recipe with me.  The rolls are light, fluffy, easy to make and they only take one hour!  And delicious too!   I've made these rolls more times than I can count, so I've perfected the art of making them.  Here are some step-by-step instructions with pictures for you. Here's what you'll need.  I buy pretty much all of the ingredients in this recipe at Sam's club, thus the huge containers.  You need warm water, yeast, oil, sugar, salt, egg and flour. In the mixer bowl, add warm water (not hot), oil, sugar and yeast.  Mix together. After ten or fifteen minutes the yeast mixture should be puffed up like this.  Time to add the salt and beaten egg. Then mix in the flour.  (I've used a mixture of half wheat and half white flour successfully.) Keep adding flour until the dough is manageable.  It will be a little sticky, b

Chicken Angelo

Don't forget to enter the Whirley Pop giveaway .  It ends tomorrow! Am I the only person that asks their friends what they're making for dinner all the time?  That's kind of why I started this blog, because I want to know what my friends are making for dinner. The other day I asked my friend, Juli (who is great cook), what she was making for dinner.  She told me she was making Chicken Angelo.   Then she told me what's in it.  I knew I had to try it too because she has some picky eaters at her house like I do.   I figured if they'll eat it then maybe it was worth a try at my house. This Chicken Angelo pasta has my favorite things, artichoke hearts and mushrooms in it.  But don't be fooled into thinking that my family likes these things too.  Because they don't.  They won't touch an artichoke or mushroom with a ten foot pole. That being said, my family loved this pasta dish.  They even gave me the go ahead to make it again.  They loved the ch
