Egg Salad Sandwich

Here is a yummy and easy recipe. My boys ate all of the sandwiches, which they usually aren't a fan of sandwiches. Note: 1 egg makes enough for 1 sandwich so adjust the recipe if needed.

Egg Salad Sandwiches

3 hard boiled eggs (finely diced)

1/4 c. Mayo

1 TBS. Honey Mustard

Finely cut up your eggs. Add the mayo and honey mustard. Mix well. Add to bread. Enjoy!

There are many additional items that you can add to egg salad sandwiches to make them super yummy. Try and add onions, relish, or celery for a yummy crunch. Substitute dijon mustard for the honey mustard, or miracle whip for the mayo. Or season it with paprika and parsley for a colorful twist.

Homemade Citrus Bliss Ice Cream

My mom makes the BEST Homemade Ice Cream! Here is one of the freshest recipes perfect for the Summer! I was lucky to take a picture of it before it was all gobbled up!

CITRUS BLISS ICE CREAM

4 Oranges (juiced)

2 Lemons (juiced)

1 Orange Rind Grated

4 C Sugar 

2 Qts Milk

Pour all the ingredients in the ice cream container. 

Freeze upon the directions of the machine, when it starts to slow down from being frozen, add 1 pint Whipping Cream. Continue to freeze until desired frozen consistency. 

Notes: My mom makes Ice Cream several times a year for our local  Schnepf Farms  Festivals like chocolate chip, peach, strawberry, and pumpkin. We also make ice cream through out the year for family get-togethers with our fresh goat and cow milk. With these raw milks you do not have to add whipping cream. Also, for this particular recipe you do not have to use the listed citrus. You can use Tangerines, Grapefruits, Tangelos, Limes, or any other fresh citrus. Feel free to mix it up and create your lovely desert.

If you do not have Whipping Cream on hand, compensate with extra milk. There are many different sizes of ice cream makers. For this particular recipe you will need an ice cream maker 3 quart or larger.

Paper-bag Popcorn

If you love Popcorn this is a gotta try recipe and cost just pennies compared to the commercial microwave popcorn.

You are going to need:

 Brown Paper Bag

Popping Corn

Salt

and Melted Butter (optional)

You will first add about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of Popping Corn to the Brown Paper Bag. Its really not going to make a big difference on the outcome if you over or under measure. 

Add a dollop of Melted Butter.

Then Salt it up. 

You need to fold the top of the bag a few times so that when it is being popped it doesn't get all over. 

Next, put it in the Microwave for about 2 min. Every microwave is different, so listen carefully, when they quit popping that is a sure sign that it is done.

Now open it up and you have lovely popcorn! Enjoy! 

Cute Water Bottles and Water Balloons Ice

This was so cute and fun to make for our BBQ party. I bought 2 cases of water bottles and had all my boys take off the labels. Then we bought this cute Butterfly Duct Tape, yes that is Duct Tape, and re-labeled the bottles. Everyone Loved this little detail! 

FYI- 1 roll of Duct Tape covered about 40 water bottles. Not the whole 2 cases, 24 pack.

 For the Water Balloon Ice, we filled up small balloons up with water and froze them in my freezer. I didn't get the actual water balloons cause of their delicate nature to pop easily. Beware, they take up a lot of space in the freezer so make sure you have room. 

FYI- You need to freeze these the day before you use them. I froze these in the morning of our party and they were not all the way frozen.

After the party, the balloons were somewhat melted and the kiddos enjoyed a water balloon fight. This is perfect for hot summer parties! Just make sure you pick up the balloon scraps after the fight. ☺
