THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED
Today, I am lamenting the conclusion of summer and all of the wonderful things that go with it, such as…sleeping in, reading great books, being with my kids all day long and making homemade ice cream! To cheer myself up, I would love to give an amazing Cuisinart Pure Indulgence 2-Quart Automatic Frozen Yogurt, Sorbet, and Ice Cream Maker to one of you dear readers. Last year, I bought the Cuisinart 1 1/2 Quart Ice Cream Maker and love, love, love it. Except for one small detail. It only makes 1 1/2 quarts and I really want it to make 2 quarts. I asked it kindly if it would please produce an extra half quart, and it has tried. And it does a great job, if you don’t mind ice cream pouring down the sides of the machine at the end of each mixing cycle. You can’t say the old girl didn’t give its all. Small error on my part by ordering a smaller machine than I wanted. I thought I was buying big. Note to self. 🙂
Anyhow, the Cuisinart has many wonderful features. I love it for these reasons.
It comes with a bowl you store in your freezer. When you are ready to make ice cream, you take the bowl out and place it in the machine. Then you pour your fabulous ingredients into it, turn it on and in 30 minutes you have soft serve ice cream. No rock salt required. No super loud banging noises heard. It is amazing!
Ben & Jerry’s Homemade Ice Cream & Dessert Book is also wonderful. I have loved everything I have made from it, including the fabulous Coconut Ice Cream recipe I shared with you all last week. I am giving a copy of it away along with the Cuisinart.
To enter the giveaway you just have to do one important thing.
Leave me a comment below telling me 1) What you loved most this past summer and 2) Your favorite ice cream flavor. That’s it. You don’t have to pin it, like it or tweet it. 🙂 Giveaway will be open until Sunday August 25th. Winner will be announced here and contacted through email on Monday August 26th.
Good luck!

Summer=Baseball! We play it, we watch it, we live it, we LOVE it! It brings our whole family together, my daughters support their brothers every game and can spit seeds better then most. It’s fun to watch the hubby bite his lip so hard you can almost see blood trickling down his chin when on a bad call (remember the children, respect the blue). I love the rush I get when i’ve made the grass stained, dirty baseball pants white again! And there is nothing like watching your 9 year old hit one over centerfield, or your boy pitch a 3 up 3 out inning! We love Summer!!
We also love cookies and cream ice-cream, all the more if you thrown in a little mint!

After moving 4 times in 2 years (with one being an out of state move and a couple time zones away & 3 of those moves being an entire household full of things) I was Oh-So-Happy to enjoy a 2 week visit from my only daughter this summer. I needed some serious mommy/daughter time and she did too!! It has been the highlight of my summer and I was sad to see it end.
We made sure to stop at our new favorite local ice cream stand several times during her visit. Ice cream for breakfast? Don’t mind if I do! We used to make our own ice cream when she was little and what a surprise it would be to do that for her next visit.
My favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate chip cookie dough. Although we never did make that ourselves I’m up for the challenge!
