Saturdays At Shop This

{ Via: Moda Operandi }

What a week! Even though it was short, I am thankful that it is the weekend. Between "Miss Shop This" gracing us with her presence, dinners out, long walks on the beach, fireworks, a road trip and blogging, I am exhausted. Before I find a palm tree and a hammock, I wanted to share some fun and interesting links with you.

Foodie Friday: Ice Cream Dreams ~ Recipes & More

{ Via: She Knows }

The minute the weather heats up, I start thinking about ice cream. What about you? The truth is, the ice cream at the market leaves me disappointed. It's just not what my Mom churned back in the day. July is National Ice Cream Month. I think it is high time we indulge in a frozen treat that we make ourselves. This roundup of recipes has a little something for everyone, the vegan, the chocoholic, the bacon lover and more.  Here's the scoop.

 Summer Berry Ice Cream Cake
A chic cake that isn't childish. This one will impress the grownups.

Pink Lemonade Ice Cream
This recipe has a short list of ingredients and can be whipped up without an ice cream maker. Sounds perfect for a hot Summer day.

German Chocolate Brownie Ice Cream
Elizabeth, the author of this recipe says it best: "It hits all of my pleasure buttons: rich, creamy dark chocolate ice cream? Check. Gooey chocolate-pecan frosting? Check. Fudgy brownie pieces sprinkled liberally throughout? Check and mate." Enough said.

Now why haven't we thought of this before? This is a surprisingly cool take on the classic. Brunch anyone?
