It’s hot. Is your freezer stocked with ice cream? I recently placed a new order with Wonderment (formally known as Sweet Sandies!) for more of Stephanie’s amazing custom flavors. My plan is to share these with friends because I do not need to be eating so many pints of ice cream! Hillary, Ellen, and I designed the S’mores flavor ourselves: toasted marshmallow ice cream with marshmallow swirls, dark chocolate, and graham cracker crumble. OMG.
I also got my Buttercream Blast (birthday cake ice cream with sprinkles and chunks of buttercream frosting throughout).
And Cookie Dough! I hadn’t tried Stephanie’s version before, but….wow.
Luckily the produce at this time of year is top notch and salad season helps to balance out the ice cream intake 😉 So do evening soccer games!
I’ve been making tons of smoothies lately – so many that my blender is actually on my countertop instead of hiding on the bottom shelf of my appliance storage piece. I kind of like it out though as it makes my kitchen seem a little more homey.
Blueberries are so good right now! I made a fried egg for breakfast and served it with blueberries, and a small banana with almond butter.
Pancakes remain Mazen’s favorite breakfast. He requests them all the time! I top mine with a little nut butter and coconut, while Mazen likes them classic-style with a drizzle of maple syrup.
On the lunch salad front, I had leftover sardine salad over greens with cheddar cheese and Red Hot Blues.
And, another day a mini quesadilla with a side salad with an heirloom tomato and almonds.
Fried catfish with sautéed zucchini and corn. Perfect combo!
My friend Emily had us over for dinner, and she served up the most delicious spread of pesto bowtie pasta, garlicky shrimp, parmesan cauliflower, broccoli, and lemon bars for dessert. This is what got Mazen eating shrimp!
Emily’s son lent us his transformer dinosaur, and it has been Mazen’s favorite toy of the last week! He eats Daniel Tiger for breakfast : )

Those blueberries are huge!!!! And that buttercream blast sounds like my heaven. I thought birthday cake flavored ice cream was already good enough but to swirl buttercream frosting?? Done.

Those ice cream flavors sound and look amazing! My parents’ freezer went out last week and ruined their ice cream. My dad came home with an armful of ice cream and now keeps them in the deep freezer in the basements I keep them “safe.” The best part? He keeps a spoon on the freezer so he can sneak a bite whenever he pleases!
Amanda says
Yes, yes, yum to that Smores ice cream! I wish it was in my freezer! Currently we have dairy free vanilla ice cream in the fridge ????. We clearly need to step up our ice cream game!
Katie says

Pancakes everyday, I’m with him on that one! I’ve a new favourite made with 1 unripe plantain, 2 eggs and 1/2 tsp baking powder!!! Sweetened to desired taste, I used fresh vanilla. They’re so thick and fluffy!

That ice cream looks fab!

Oh my gosh, those ice cream flavors look amazing! I recently stocked my freezer with some Ben & Jerry’s cookie dough ice cream, and I gotta say, I’m really disappointed! The cookie dough is dry and crumbly – definitely not what one wants in a cookie dough ice cream. Just by the picture I can tell yours is better!
Elyse @ Justmurrayed says
Those ice cram flavours look awesome! I seriously am thinking of getting ice cream before work. Is it acceptable to eat it for breakfast? It’s summer so I’m going to say yes!
Kate says
Those ice cream flavors are ridiculous! Summer produce really helps us out by tasting so delicious. It make it’s easy to balance it all out.

Only the most valued appliances deserve space on the counter, huh? Have you done a tour of your new kitchen? I love seeing how different people organize things.
Casey the College Celiac says
That quesadilla looks insanely delicious!
Anne says
that s’mores ice cream is reminiscent of Stewart’s Happy Camper, sadly not available this summer 🙁
