Two Pregos and a Sara

Yesterday we defied the overcast damp weather and went to play at Lawrence Lake with my two pregnant friends and all six of our kids.  Surprisingly the kids didn't mind the 68 degree weather jumped right in the semi-chilly water and played for a while before running up to us shivering and asking for towels.  






We decided to play at the park by the lake and let them get the rest of their energy out before nap time. Ethan was really good so on the way home we stopped into Starbucks and I got him a chocolate milk with my "treat receipt" from earlier that morning. 

After naps Ethan and I decided to make some Sugar-free Vanilla Ice cream, it was so easy and delicious. I made it as low carb as I could and Ethan still really enjoyed it, I hope you do too! 


Sugar Free Low Carb Vanilla Ice Cream:

2 tbl splenda
1 cup heavy cream 
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup rock salt or table salt
gallon-sized Ziploc bag
quart-sized Ziploc bag
Ice cubes 

Mix the Splenda, Cream and vanilla extract together. Pour into a quart-sized Ziploc bag, make sure its closed tightly.

Take the gallon-sized Ziploc bag and fill it up halfway with ice and pour the salt over the ice. Place the cream filled bag into the ice filled bag and close.

Shake for about 5-10 minutes .Check to see if the ice cream is hard, if not keep shaking. 
Once the ice cream is finished, Run the quart-sized bag under cold water to clean the salt off the baggie. 
ENJOY!

  2. It was really yummy, kind of like frozen cool whip, I'd imagine agave nectar would be a great alternative sweetener for this recipe as well.
