National Ice Cream Month

I know, today is supposed to be hump day.
There should be a hottie gracing this post. However, I have something else completely delicious and crave worthy for all of you today: ICE CREAM! Did you know July is National Ice Cream Month? I didn’t, and I’m actually honored that I get to share my birthday month with the amazing merriment that is ice cream. If you know me, I don’t do sweets. Unless we are talking about ice cream. If we are, I can eat an entire pint all by myself. I can also do some serious damage at Dairy Queen if left unattended with a Blizzard. Granted, now being gluten and dairy free, this makes it a little more difficult for me to indulge in my favorite sweet so I leave it for special occasions only (read: bouts of nasty PMS).

That’s why I smiled when I saw this fun graphic via the Ultimate Coupons blog:

What does your favorite flavor say about you? Mine is Cookies and Cream, which means I’m a sweetheart (can’t deny that), but the sharing bit? Not so much. Get your own, friends!

Banana Ice Cream

A few posts back, I featured a great recipe for all my fellow readers that suffer from milk allergies but still crave a late night pint of Ben & Jerry’s (maybe that’s just me?). Who knew that if you froze bananas, placed them in a blender and then froze them again, you would get the most delicious ice cream? I was still a little weary while the hubs was preparing the concoction, but sure enough, the results completely blew me away! It had a custard-y consistency and a very heavy banana flavor, which I guess doesn’t work for everyone, but being a huge fan of bananas, tasted heavenly to me. Best part? My stomach did not rebel or send me any nasty messages throughout the day. Nothing. It was beautiful!

I love my dogs so much. I can’t imagine ever owning any other breed, so naturally, I adore All-Mighty, a store dedicated to “the love of Boston Terriers.” They sell everything from onesies, adorable tees & now barrettes! Secretly, I am still a little girl that likes to wear bows in her hair (OK, maybe not such a secret) so these are slaying me! I am definitely buying some, but I am torn: there are so many different styles to choose from (12 to be exact)! What’s a girl to do?? I guess I’ll just have to get them all 😉
