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.

HOLLA it's Challah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I have never made this fantastic bread before and I am such a fan of the "no knead bread" recipes, that when I found this one, I had to try it. Ethan was supposed to attend a party at a friends house and this is where this Challah was supposed to go, but of course the child who never gets sick is under the weather so I am now stuck with this huge Challah loaf while on a low carb diet. Lovely! This beauty will be great for the rest of the men in my family though, it will be enjoyed sliced and toasted then spread with butter, jam, nutella etc, the rest will be sliced and used for the best french toast, because it is a fact that only THE best French toast is made with Challah. I added some cinnamon sugar to the top of this with slivered almonds, to be a little fancy shmancy but you don't have to. Hello you Beautiful Braided Beefcake!! 1 3/4 cups lukewarm water 1 1/2 tbl instant yeast 1 1/2 tbl kosher salt (1 1/2 tsp table salt) 4 lg eggs, slightly beaten 1/2 cup honey 1/...
