Homemade Ice Cream
I have had several requests for our Ice Cream recipe from friends, so I thought I would share it here as well.
We mix it in the Kitchen Aid, then pour it into the ice cream maker. We use a machine that will hold about 5 Cups of liquid.
Cream together:
4 eggs (Yes RAW eggs!!)
2 1/2 cups sugar
Add:
1 pint cream
1 quart 1/2 & 1/2
4 1/4 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
Pour into Ice Cream Machine cylinder and add milk up to fill line.
Add your ice around the cylinder, layered with rock salt, and turn on. Make sure to keep adding salt as it goes, very important!!!
This recipe makes a nice thick ice cream that does not melt super fast. And when put in the freezer it does not freeze SOLID like others we have tried. It only has to sit for a minute before you can scoop it.
Add in ideas:
ENJOY!!

Chocolate Waffle Cookies
During the summer I am all about recipes that don't heat up my whole kitchen. These chocolate cookies are cooked in the waffle iron, I usually always have the ingredients on hand, and they are delicious!Chocolate Waffle Cookies
1/2 c. butter
6 T. cocoa
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. sugar
1 c. flour
Melt butter and cocoa in a small pan. Combine eggs, vanilla, and sugar. Mix well. Add cocoa mixture. Add flour, stir well. Drop by spoonfuls (I use the Pampered Chef small scoop) on a hot waffle iron. Close cover and bake on medium heat for 2 minutes. Frost with chocolate frosting (homemade or store bought). Makes about 2 dozen cookies. YUM!
Enjoy!
Marshmallow Caramel Popcorn
Anyone who has been to my parents house on a Friday night movie night knows about Gail Thueson's famous popcorn. This stuff is so good. I must warn you though - don't sit down to watch a movie with a bowl full in your lap...you might just find that you topped it off by yourself by the end of the movie!!! (I'm not speaking from experience of course...)
1 cube butter
1 C. gran. sugar
1 C. brown sugar
Cook and stir above ingredients constantly on med heat until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, and stir in half a package of mini marshmallows. Stir until it's creamy, then pour over 2 bowls of popped popcorn(1 C. unpopped). Use two forks to stir in the hot caramel, wait until it cools, and enjoy!

Tamale Roundabout
This was originally a Pampered Chef recipe, but over the years I have modified it to suit my family.
To be baked in a bundt (or similar) pan.
Ingredients:
1 box Krusteaz honey cornbread mix (8x8 pan size) and the ingredients listed on the box.
OR your favorite cornbread recipe.
1 lb. Ground beef
Diced red and green pepper (I don't do this 'cause I don't like them!!)
All to taste:
Chili powder
Onion Powder (or if your fam likes onion you could finely chop 1/2 an onion)
salt & pepper
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese + 1/4 cup reserved
1 pint homemade salsa (the recipe calls for 16 oz jar of thick & chunky salsa)
Directions:
Heat oven to 385...I know its a strange temp, but it is 1/2 way between the recipe and the cornbread...and it works!
Brown ground beef (and onion if using), drain, sprinkle with spices. Add salsa and let simmer on med-low for 5-7 minutes. While simmering prepare cornbread, and fold in shredded cheese. Sprinkle peppers in bundt pan. When meat/salsa mixture is done simmering, fold it into the cornbread/cheese mixture. Spread evenly over peppers in pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes. remove from oven and let cool for a minute or two. Invert pan onto serving dish. Sprinkle reserved 1/4 cup cheese over the top. Serve with sour cream if desired.

Quick & Delicious Bread
I love ward cookbooks. I'm just as guilty as the next sister, but who doesn't want to share only their BEST recipes? This is one from the ward I grew up in, and originally came from my YW's leader. I mixed up a batch this morning while the kids were eating breakfast, and by lunch we had homemade bread to devour!
3/4 C. granulated sugar
4 t. yeast
3 C. warm water
1/3 C. oil
1 egg
3 t. salt
8 C. flour
Combine sugar, warm water, and yeast in large mixing bowl; let stand 10 mins. Combine oil and egg and add to yeast mixture. Stir in salt and 3 C. flour; mix well. Stir in additional 3 C. flour; mix well. Add enough of remaining flour to make a soft, sticky dough. Cover bowl and allow to rise until double in bulk; punch down, turn dough over in bowl, and allow to rise covered, until double in bulk again - about 45 minutes. Your dough will still be pretty sticky; use flour on the counter and your fingers to shape dough into 3 loaves and put in greased loaf pans; cover and allow to rise until doubled, about 30 mins. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes, or until loaves are lightly browned. Brush crusts with melted butter to soften.
