EASY Homemade ice cream....Why NOT??

I am not a HUGE ice cream fan, but Derek is and so are the kids so when I came across this recipe I figured I have to try it. I love the fact that I know all the ingredients in here and there are no strange fillers always a plus for our health ya know. Soooo, I made this for July 4th and I was surrounded by Ice cream lovers. They LOVED it. I must say it is delicious. You can add whatever you would like to it. I have chocolate chip fans, but you can really add any extract and make whatever you would like. I think next time I will try this with Pistachio extract and real pistachios, mmmm. The hardest part of all of this was the wait. I would say it is about a 6 hour wait until it is fully frozen and ready to scoop. Yummy!!!! Oh Yeah I just threw the green in for garnish of course, we are not weirdos like that and eat garnishes with our ice cream, but it does look fancy shmancy doesn't it?

*Salmonella Note.....Yeah I know there are raw eggs here, SOOO if you are freaking out about this, here are a few things you can do.... I make sure to use the highest quality organic eggs and wash the shells because usually the virus only contamintaes the shell, use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. If that is still too scary for you, you can use egg beaters pasteurized products they are pateurized so no salmonella virus will be in there, OR you can beat the milk & Egss, condensed milk in a saucepan until 160 degrees which is the temp that kills the virus. Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

3 egg yolks*
1 (14-ounce) can condensed milk
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup Whatever toppings you would like
2 cups heavy cream, whipped In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks and stir in the condensed milk and vanilla. Fold in thetoppings and whipped cream. Pour mixture into a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan lined with foil, or a glass dish like I did. Cover and freeze for 6 hours or until firm.
To serve, scoop ice cream from pan or cut into slices.

Flank Steak

Ok, I love me some flank steaks!!! The only thing one must understand is that this cut of meat is tougher than others, so really a perfect flank steak is cooked medium rare and sliced on a diagonal. Prepared this way, marinated, cooked quickly at high heat, thinly sliced, flank steak practically melts in your mouth. I put it over salad just to pretend we are healthy, but really it can be paired with anything. Enjoy INGREDIENTS Marinade Ingredients 1/3 cup olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar 1/3 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup honey 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Other ingredients 2 pounds flank steak Kosher salt Freshly ground pepper 1 Score the surface of the steak with 1/4 inch deep knife cuts, about an inch apart, across the grain of the meat. Combine the marinade ingredients. Place steak and marinade ingredients in a large freezer bag. Coat the steak well with the marinade. Seal the bag and place in a bowl. Chill and marinate for at least 2 hours and up to ov...

Amy walked up to me and the boys and hands me a few pieces of this obscenely delicious bread, I immediately shoved a piece down my throat and couldn't believe how delicious it was!!!!
