Sweetly Simple Strawberry Ice Cream :)

One of the things I love about Tupperware is the tools that really make food preparation easy and the fabulous recipes that often come with those tools. Last night I decided to try out a recipe for home-made strawberry ice cream. In the words of my 8 year old 'This is the best ice cream I ever ate' It was super simple to make and only took a couple of minutes to make. I realize now I should have taken a better picture, but we were anxious to try out this soft serve type of ice cream!

I used my Quick Chef Pro System with the blade attachment, adding 1 cup whipping cream, 1.5 cups frozen strawberries, 3 tablespoons of icing sugar and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Once all the ingredients were in, I simply turned the handle quickly for about 90 seconds and presto- yummy home made ice cream!
It was so good that I wanted to make some more tonight, but sadly we were all out of whipping cream. Tomorrow's another day, though, right? I was also wondering if it would work with different flavours of fruit- I guess there is only one way to find out :)

Sunny Skies of spring

Wow, first of all I can't believe that it has been 1.5 years since I have written anything here. Well, actually I can. Things have been busy, and often caring for a child with Type 1 diabetes can leave a person feeling like they are just surviving. Day in and day out the monotony of all the tasks involved together with the unpredictability that diabetes can bring, can sometimes take a lot out of a person. But we keep going and try not to let diabetes get in the way of life! (Not to mention moving to a new house, work, vacations and other things:)

Recently though I began a bit of a new adventure. Well it was kind of a return to a really old adventure actually. 20 years ago I sold Tupperware for a while and I decided that since there are so many wonderful new products I should give it another chance. So far I am loving it. Though it is taking a bit of my time, it is something fun to focus on, and certainly a bit of extra money doesn't hurt!
Things have taken off to great start and between that and the feeling like spring is in the air, I have really had that sunny skies kind of feeling. The kind of feeling you get when the day is beautiful and life is good. I tell you spring can't come soon enough for this lady!
