Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream

Fresh Strawberry Homemade Ice Cream

When I get into ice cream making moods, my cravings are swayed by the grocery store sales all the time! Fruit ice creams call to me and I honestly cannot get enough of them. They are like the fancy, elegance of sorbets but with the smooth, creamy, thickness of old fashioned ice cream. The mixing of the two are simply magical. So you'll never guess but strawberries are in season and were on sale so they made their way into my cart and into my ice cream. Growing up I was never a huge strawberry ... continue reading...

Reese’s Peanut Butter Ice Cream

Homemade Reese's Peanut Butter Ice Cream Recipe! So easy & way tasty!

I guess summer is alive over here in the Mayberry house. I am overproducing on the ice cream front and taking up all the room in the freezer these days. Feel free to come over and eat your way through the goodies - I'm getting in trouble for being a freezer hog ;) Now, please don't hate me, but I don't like the peanut butter and chocolate combo. YIKES. But I made this for the people who frequent this house the most (shout outs to: Bruce the husband, Josh the basement dweller, and Meg the best ... continue reading...

Summer Berry Ice Cream with Dark Chocolate Chunks

Homemade Summer Berry Ice Cream with Dark Chocolate Chunks - Check out this incredible Ice cream recipe!

I'll be honest with you, this summer is unlike anything I thought it would be. I mean, it is great and we've done so many fun things & planned some incredible trips & spent quality time with friends and family but so much of it has been a surprise on the fly. I didn't know what to expect this summer to be like and the expectations I did have were all over the place. A couple weeks ago I realized it was the middle of July - WUT?! There were so many summer things that I had not done yet. I ... continue reading...

Java Chip Ice Cream

You can call me "Aunt Beth the Ice Cream Maker" like my little niece does or you can just be ready for yet another ice cream recipe. Summers are hot, ice cream is good, and this Kitchen Aid attachment is the bomb! Java Chip is another favorite of mine. I love it when it has that extra punch of espresso beans and chocolate - so I made mine that way! INGREDIENTS: 1 Cup Milk 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream 1 Starbucks Via pouch 2 Eggs 1/2 Cup Bakers Sugar 1 Dark Chocolate Candy Bar 1 small scoop of ... continue reading...

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Mint ice cream is my favorite kind ever. I've kind of been putting off making it because I love it so much that I didn't want to mess it up. Turns out it was just as easy (if not as easy) as all the rest.  When I was out at the Farmer's Market over the weekend, I picked up a bar of dark chocolate from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory to sweeten the deal. It's been a hit here in the Mayberry home and I am going to need to make another batch here real soon - smooth, creamy, and minty! Just ... continue reading...

Butterfinger Ice Cream

Butterfingers are one of those candy bars that I always want to throw into my cart when I am waiting in line at the grocery store. They are chocolatey but not too chocolatey. And what ever that buttery, crispy, inside part that gets stuck up in your teeth is, it is good!  Nothing like adding your favorite candy bar to your ice cream! But really, add your favorite candy bar to your ice cream! This recipe is so easy and is obviously wonderful with Butterfingers but you can substitute with ... continue reading...

Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

I've discovered that homemade ice cream is not only fun to make but it is pretty easy. Every flavor usually has the same base - Milk, Heavy Whipping Cream, Sugar, and Eggs. I've got the base down to an art and I can whip up a batch in a jiff! After that, the possibilities are endless! I am a fan of the simple, smooth, semi-sweet ice creams. The ones that let you know they are a dessert but don't overwhelm you with a sugar rush! Chocolate Chip is one of those ice creams for me so I set out to ... continue reading...

Dairy-Free Double Chocolate Ice Cream

I've been having so much fun with my KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker attachment that I've been making ice cream each week. In fact, I am taking requests for birthdays, get-togethers, and any and all social engagements. My little sister asked if I had made any dairy free ice creams yet so I set out to make one so my answer could be yes ;) I used almond milk to replace the usual heavy whipping cream/ milk combo and I think it turned out great!  INGREDIENTS:- 1/2 Cup Unsweetened Coco Powder- 2 Cups ... continue reading...

Kiwi Ice Cream

Apparently once you pop the fun don't stop! I've been on an ice cream making roll! I'm using the Kitchen Aid attachment and it is not only convenient but addicting! I had the urge to make some more so I looked around to what I had already in my house (my kind of cooking) and I found KIWIS!  I've never had Kiwi Ice Cream before but I googled it and all kinds of hits came up- so it is totally a thing. It is not the ice cream for everyone (Bruce wasn't in love) but I was surprised by how ... continue reading...

Fresh Raspberry & Vanilla Ice Cream

I recently was helping my sister move and during the process I noticed she had the Kitchen Aid Ice Cream maker attachment that I have been looking at. She told me she never uses it and has lent it to me for the time being! She lives close enough to steal it back when ever she wants anyways! It came at just the right time - SUMMER! I am now obsessed with learning all the ins and outs of making homemade ice cream.  I thought I would start simple, but vanilla ice cream was just not doing ... continue reading...

Thirty Two

Earlier this week I told Bruce that for the first time ever, I wasn't very excited about my birthday. Not because of the age, but because of the quarantine. I am the type of girl who likes to go big or go home for my birthday. Like weekends away (our trip to Buena Vista and our trip to Canon City), eating out for all the meals, going to Rockies games or Botanic Gardens or anything fun outside of the house. But this year I felt like I couldn't go big and so I would have to go home (aka stay ... continue reading...

Peach Pavlova

It's peach season and we love it! Peaches are one of my favorite fruits. They are delicious and nostalgic all at the same time. When I turned five I asked for a fruit tree for my birthday and I got one (that story is over here) and it was a peach tree. Now not only do we enjoy all the local peaches this time of year, we also get some backyard ones as well off the tree in my parent's backyard! Pavlova is a dessert that I discovered in Norther Ireland when I studied abroad in college. It's one ... continue reading...

Tupperware Memories

Thank you Tupperware for sponsoring this post. My mom always jokes that the Tupperware cabinet was our favorite toy chest! I can still vividly remember exactly where it was in our house, and nothing in there was off limits. We could use whatever was inside to drum on, chew on, or roll onto the laminate floors in the kitchen. As we got older, we used it to create sandcastles in the sand box, store bugs we caught, and make our own pitchers of kool aid. Tupperware products made life easier for my ... continue reading...

Oh hey guys it's me! I've been in and out of Insta Oh hey guys it's me! I've been in and out of Instagram lately. A couple months ago I deleted Instagram from my phone for a little break. And I keep doing it because it is so nice. Sometimes I delete the app but still have photos post because they are scheduled and now you know my little secret 😉 ⁠
⁠
But really, I just took another break and while I am committed to this place because it holds so many of my memories, I'm not like super addicted to it (which is really a healthy place to be!) HAHA. ⁠
⁠
I'm realizing I don't have unlimited time to post and share all the things I want to and so when I do have time, I want to spend more time of it creating blog posts and less time scrolling IG. It's not you, it's me! HAHA. If you want to to keep hearing from me, make sure you are subscribed to our emails!! Link in bio and also stories!
It's been too long since we had a #HildeintheAir p It's been too long since we had a #HildeintheAir pic. You're welcome!

⁠
This little turned one whole year this week! Figured I should wait for the official stats to include in our last monthly photo 😭😍😭😍 22.2 lbs and 30.3 inches tall. Not as big as her sister but still a pretty big baby. ⁠🙌🏼
⁠
According to tradition, we went out to breakfast (so thankful restaurants were open for indoor seating) and she ate as much as her big sis! ⁠
⁠
Current favorite word is book but she also says dada all day long. And the roars. She LOVES TO ROAR! ⁠( other words: mama, ruff, and signs "all done")
⁠
In every effort to keep up with her favorite friend & sibling, she is already walking around like she owns the place and we just cannot even with her! SO MUCH LOVE! ⁠😍

Happy Birthday #OurMillieBea⁠
