Vanilla Ice Cream

The easiest, most amazing ice cream EVER!!!

2 cans Eagle Brand milk (if you prefer, make your own with my recipe)
6 c. milk, half and half or combination
1 tbsp. vanilla

Mix well. Freeze according to your freezer's directions.

From my friend Kathy: if you don't have an electric maker place ingredients into a low sided metal container and place in the freezer. Every 5-10 min. scrape the sides and stir the cream mixture, when it becomes the desired frozen consistency, enjoy.

Awesome!

Quinoa Tabbouleh

This is posted in my Cooking for Dad blog, but I got tired of having to hunt it down any time I wanted to make it.

• 2 cups water
• 1 cup quinoa
• 1 pinch salt

Rinse quinoa well before cooking. Cook according to package directions; let cool.

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 3 tomatoes, diced
• 1 cucumber, seeded and diced
• 1 cup green onions, greens and bulbs, diced
• 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped


• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup fresh mint, chopped
• Add salt and pepper to taste.

Mix the above and stir into cooled, cooked quinoa. Mix well. Best if it sits for at least an hour before serving.
