Snickerdoodle Ice Cream

I christened my new Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker today with this easy and yummy Snickerdoodle Ice Cream, tastes just like the cookie ~ with all that cinnamon sugary goodness!

Recipe:
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 firmly packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Dash of nutmeg
1 cup whipping cream
1 1/4 cups half and half
1 1/2 tsp vanilla


Combine the sugars and spices in a medium bowl.  Stir in the cream, 1/2 and 1/2 and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours.
Pour into your ice cream maker and freeze/churn for about 20 minutes or to desired consistency.  Pour into a container, cover and freeze about 2 hours or overnight, then enjoy this sweet cookie tasting ice cream!

Summer Tart

This tart is like summer - laid back, no schedule, no recipe, relax - do as you feel with what you have on hand from your garden or the farmers market.  Today I used this combination:

 1 zucchini - lightly sauteed, 1/2 spanish onion - lightly sauteed, 1 minced garlic clove, sliced tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, fresh mozzarella, gruyere and parmesan, and layered all of this in a pastry crust and baked till melted through and lightly golden on top.   Very yummy and fresh.  Feel free to change up the cheeses and vegetables to your liking and ENJOY SUMMER!
