Home Made Ice Cream Sandwiches with Your Favorite Ice Cream!

Home Made Ice Cream Sandwiches with Your Favorite Ice Cream!

You can make delightful ice cream sandwiches?better than those in the store--for much less than store-bought ones. Besides you get to be creative. You can pick your favorite ice cream, you can make different shapes, and you can use different cookies. While these are square chocolate cookies with vanilla ice cream, be creative. Make them round with cherry ice cream . . . or whatever you would like. 

Ice Cream Sandwich Recipe or a Mix 

The secret is in the wafer cookie. You want crisp, thin wafers that crumble when bit rather than squishing the ice cream out. Both sugar cookies and short 7Ibread cookies make excellent ice cream sandwiches. Or you can use a mix available online.
We tested recipes to find those that work particularly well. We like this recipe. It makes a thin chocolate short  bread cookie that is crisp and sturdy. It's an innovative recipe that uses powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar. The powdered sugar adds starch (yes, there is starch in most powdered sugars) and it avoids the tiny air pockets created by granulated sugar as it cuts through the butter. You can make the dough ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
If you are a chocoholic, you can make a richer, more intense chocolate cookie with four ounces unsweetened chocolate instead of the semisweet. Add two tablespoons powdered sugar.
Ingredients
3 one-ounce squares of semi-sweet baking chocolate
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 dash salt
4 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
Ice cream
To make the cookies
1. Melt the chocolate and one tablespoon butter in the microwave. Set aside.
2. Cream the remaining butter and powdered sugar together. Add the salt.
3. Add the four egg yolks, beating after each. Add the vanilla.
4. Add the flour in three parts, beating after each addition.
5. Scrape the dough onto a large sheet of waxed paper. Pat the dough into a square or round log. Wrap it in waxed paper and smooth the edges into a uniform log. Refrigerate the log for at least an hour.
6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the dough into 3/16-inch thick slices. Place them on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for eight to ten minutes or just until set. Cool on a wire rack.
To assemble the sandwiches
Once the cookie wafers have cooled, you're ready to assemble your ice cream sandwiches. It's easier if the ice cream is slightly soft. Place a cookie wafer face down on a flat counter surface. Use a small spatula to press the ice cream onto the cookie. You can make them as thick or as thin as you like. Top it with another cookie and press the two together. Use the spatula to clean up the edges. Wrap the sandwiches in plastic wrap and put them back into the freezer for an hour or more. You can store your ice cream sandwiches in the freezer for two weeks.

Healthy Food Recipe!

A Quick Meal

With the heat of the summer and the fact that we have longer days, many times we would like to eat something light as well as later in the evening. Ideally speaking, a quick easy dinner as well as an easy healthy dinner. Here is a healthy food recipe for a quick meal.
Based upon one of my favorite marinades(" a sauce, typically made of oil, vinegar, spices, and herbs, in which meat, fish, or other food is soaked before cooking in order to flavor or soften it")this healthy food recipe is a quick easy dinner that can be made for 1 or more people (if you are entertaining). What I did earlier this week was prepare halibut over brown and wild rice mixed with dates and served green beans on the side. This easy healthy dinner took no time at all to make. 

The ingredients to use for this quick meal are: 

1 portion of halibut
Brown rice
Wild Rice
Dates
Green Beans
To start this quick easy dinner, marinate the halibut in a bowl of equal parts olive oil, balsamic vinegar(" dark, sweet Italian vinegar that has been matured in wooden barrels")(2 tablespoons each) and a clove or two of garlic. Coat the halibut and place the fish in the refrigerator for about two hours.
In the meantime, follow the cooking instructions on the back of the packages for the wild rice and the brown rice and cook both types of rice separately. When I made this healthy food recipe, I used 1/4 cup of wild rice and 1 cup of brown rice.
Once both sets of rice are cooked, mix them together and add chopped dates. Be sure you check the dates for nuts. Allow the heat of both sets of rice to warm up the chopped dates. Set the rice aside.
Once the halibut is marinated, cook the fish in the oven until tender and flaky but not raw in the middle. To make this a really quick dinner, purchase freshly frozen green beans and heat them up over the stove while you are cooking the halibut.
If the rice has cooled, you may want to pop it in the microwave for a few seconds to reheat it. Set the rice on your dinner plate, then place the cooked halibut on top and then the cooked green beans to the side, and there you have a quick easy dinner using a healthy food recipe.
I like to save even more time cooking dinner in the summer and often will prepare my combination rice serving ahead of time and refrigerate it. I make a couple of servings and then take it out for this dish or another quick meal that I may cook during the week.
I hope you find this healthy food recipe for a quick easy dinner enjoyable. What is so great about this easy healthy dinner is that it takes no time to make and is easy to clean up. Until next time, remember the Budget Bash mantra: make it simple, delicious, stylish, fun & economical to all!

Grilling Season

"Summer are the Traditional times for Grill Outdoors"

For most folks, late spring and summer are the traditional times for grilling outdoors. Grilling at our house, however, goes on year round. I think hamburgers have been grilled during that rare weather event in our part of the country, a snowfall! Since we are ardent about outdoor cooking on a grill, we do have some favorite recipes other than the all American favorite hamburger. One family favorite was introduced to us when we were very young and just learning how to cook over a charcoal fire. Another favorite, grilled zucchini squash is a new addition to our recipe collection. Last of all we have tried grilled fruit and determined that it is a great way to prepare apples and peaches.
Our tried and true family favorite is potatoes and carrots with onion cooked in foil. The recipe is designed to be adjusted for different sized servings. 

Grilled Potatoes and Carrots 

• 2 medium white or red potatoes
• 2 medium carrots
• ½ medium sweet onion
• Butter to taste
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Dried parsley to taste
• Aluminum foil
1. Scrub the potatoes and peel the carrots.
2. Slice the potatoes and carrots French fry style.
3. Slice the onion
4. Tear 2 sheets of aluminum foil approximately 18 inches long and spray with cooking spray.
5. Place the vegetables, evenly divided on the foil.
6. Dot with butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. I also like to add a little dried parsley.
7. Fold the foil over and seal. Place on the grill over medium heat and grill for 45 minutes turning often.
8. Open carefully and place in a Reco pasta bowl to serve.
Grilled Zucchini Squash  ("a green variety of smooth-skinned summer squash.
Saute yellow and green zucchini in olive oil and season with oregano or basil for a quick and nutritious side dish.")

• 2 medium zucchini
• Olive oil
• Dried basil or Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper
1. Wash and slice zucchini lengthwise into approximately ¼ inch sized slices.
2. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with seasonings to your taste.
3. Place over medium heat on the grill and cook turning often until tender.
This goes really well with chicken grilled seasoned with white wine and salt and pepper.
Grilled Fruit
Slice a peach in half and remove the pit. Sprinkle lightly with sugar and place on the grill cut side down. Remove after about five minutes.
This is a lovely way to prepare fruit to accompany the main course or serve in a bowl with a scoop of ice cream in one of the Reco Everything Bowls.
