Super Easy Homemade Ice Cream for Kids

This week I tested out come Kitchen Chemistry in my classroom and it went really well! We made easy ice cream and at it within 15 minutes. I know they have those super cute balls you can make ice cream in, but this is easy and inexpensive. You can easily double the batch or even more. Just keep the same rations.

1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream or whipping cream
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. vanilla

Place all of the above ingredients in a quart sized Ziploc. I DO NOT suggest the zipper type, but the regular or even the freezer. Place the quart bag inside or a gallon baggie. Fill the baggie with about 2 cups of ice and 1/4 to 1/2 cup of ice cream salt or rock salt. Move around the baggies for 10 - 15 minutes until the ice cream is frozen.

This was easy and the said it was so good and better than Blue Bell. With the summer coming this would be a great activity for kids of any age. A preschool class has done this and I did it with 10 and 11 year olds. Fun Fun Fun.

Roasted Garlic and Potato Soup with Homemade Croutons - Country Living Magazine

While many have chili tonight, we will be eating this yummy soup. I will even cook up some thick bacon as a side. Yum Yum. I could not find the potatoes listed in the recipe and I was not sure if they were the same as red potatoes. I did find a bag of reds that said they were "creamy" so this is what I chose.

Serves: 6 Edit

Total Time: 1 hr 10 min

Prep Time: 20 min

Oven Temp: 400

Ingredients

U.S.MetricConversion chart
  • 1 head(s) (large) garlic, unpeeled
  • 6 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/4 loaf(s) day-old French baguette, cubed
  • 3/4 teaspoon(s) sea salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 small carrot, chopped
  • 1 1/2 pound(s) red creamer potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly ground white pepper, plus more to taste
  • 3 cup(s) low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 4 ounce(s) Fontina, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Using a serrated knife, slice off top quarter of garlic head, revealing cloves. Place on a 12-by-8-inch sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil, cut-side up, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add 1 bay leaf. Fold foil over garlic and seal edges. Roast in a baking dish until garlic cloves are soft and golden brown, about 45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
  2. Meanwhile, on a rimmed baking sheet, toss together bread, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt to taste. Bake, stirring once or twice, until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
  3. In a medium heavy-duty pot over medium-high heat, heat remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add onion, carrot, and potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion and carrot have softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Mix in 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon white pepper and add remaining bay leaf. Add broth and 2 cups water to vegetables, increase heat to high, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and allow soup to simmer until potatoes are very tender, 30 minutes. Remove bay leaf.
  4. Squeeze garlic head, from bottom up, to push out each clove into soup; stir. Simmer soup for 5 more minutes, then remove from heat. Using a blender, puree soup. Whisk Fontina into soup over low heat until cheese melts and is fully incorporated. Sprinkle soup with croutons and serve hot.
