Ice Cream

 

This time of the year we all search for ways to cool off. Sometimes enjoying ice cream is a fun way to do just that. Ice Cream is so popular, in fact it is celebrated all month long in July. Vanilla ice cream is among the most popular flavor.

 

We often use birthdays, vacation or the hot humid weather as a reason to treat ourselves to a cup or cone. Many of us hop in our car and drive or walk to our favorite ice cream shop. Some of us like the adventure, and art of making ice cream so you may want to experiment with a new recipe. Either way we hope you will enjoy these great recipes, and fan favorites that can be bought right here in the Lehigh Valley.
