"Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather." ~John Ruskin
Snow is exhilarating (even when you have 2 feet of it trapping you in your house for a few days). You're never too old for a good ole fashioned snow fight, snow angel, and snow man. But nothing can cure a little cabin fever like a 3 year old - or do they make it worse? Hmmm…
With all that fresh snow, one childhood memory instantly comes to mind – some delicious homemade snow ice cream. I thought this was a staple in every person's memory from snow-filled days, but apparently it was not according to my hubby. With a quick Google search I found a recipe that looked similar to the one I remember from when I was still living at home (I'm sure I still made it in my teens J).
INGREDIENTS:
1 gallon fresh snow
1 cup white sugar
1 tbsp vanilla
2 cups Milk
Mix it all together and enjoy. The best part is that snow ice cream has 132 calories and 1.2 g of fat. You can't get much better than that J.
Ours didn't quite turn out completely right, but as you can see it didn't stop Lil Man from digging in. I think we got a little excited and grabbed too much snow (I'm horrible at estimating) and then my independent Lil Man insisted on doing it all on his own so we were a little delayed in the mixing. No matter what, it was fun and pretty yummy.
Enjoy!
Be inspired, get creative, and have fun!
