Did you know that July is National Ice Cream Month? Sure is, President Reagan declared July as National Ice Cream Month in 1984 — with the third Sunday in July as National Ice Cream Day.

Well, I missed that! Oops! But as far as I am concerned there is never a bad time for ice cream and I have almost 20 ice cream recipes for you to make!

Think homemade ice cream is too difficult? It’s not! I have quite a few no-churn ice cream recipes which means no ice cream maker. And if you have an ice cream maker, I have several popular machine churned ice cream recipes that can easily be modified into your favorite flavor!

I was so grateful for a slower week this week, especially as we prepare to go on our family vacation for a family reunion and visiting special friends. How about you? How was your week?

Remember I answer all of my emails and comments in person, you can reply to the email directly or in the comments section below — have I mentioned that I love hearing from my readers?!

My Favorite Ice Cream Recipes

My go-to ice cream flavor is almost always vanilla and in my opinion there is nothing plain about it, but of course I love dressing it up with some homemade hot fudge sauce or this to-die for Bourbon Salted Caramel sauce, a few toasted nuts and YUM!

For my family, they crave all-things-chocolate! And even me, a non-chocolate lover, LOVES this creamy no-cook chocolate ice cream! You will too! Check them out below!

Since we’re scrambling to get ready for vacation, I will be a bit hit and miss these next two weeks, but will still try and do a weekly email!

May God bless you this week and always!

Forever grateful,
