Homemade ice cream is synonymous with summer. For me, it’s especially synonymous with the 4th of July. But even though Independence Day has passed, there’s still plenty of time to get out in the backyard and enjoy some homemade ice cream with the family.
There are probably as many homemade ice cream recipes as there are families who make the stuff. Most of them are fairly similar–with a few variations here and there. That’s why I’m not going to get into them in this post. This is all about the methods you use to freeze your favorite recipe into that cold, frosty goodness we call “ice cream.”

Hey, so we’re back after being on hiatus for almost a month. Summer is in full swing here, and things have just been too busy for us to find much time to blog.

May we add mistake #8 You Began the Cooking Process Without Root Access?

Strawberry shortcake is awesome. Just awesome. The strawberry shortcake recipe I’m going to show you is incredibly easy and is pretty cheap to make.
Basically, we’re just going to make some sweet biscuits, and we’re going to smother them in syrupy strawberry chunks. Since strawberries are in season, now is the perfect time to try some recipes that use them. Let’s get down to it.

I’m gonna be really honest here: I’m not exactly a “salad guy.”
To me, salads can be cold, slimy things that don’t look particularly appetizing because they are uncooked and don’t give off a warm aroma. However, there’s no denying that salads are a healthy addition anyone can make to their diet, so I’m going to show you how to make a salad that isn’t awful (in fact, I’d say it’s quite good).
