Beyond Vanilla: 12 Homemade Ice Cream Creations

June 27, 2014 by Hillary 3 Comments

If you don’t know that ice cream is my weakness – my #1 vice – then, well… you probably haven’t been reading Nutrition Nut for all too long.

While I recently wrote about how I’m not consuming much dairy on the regular, I leave the “exception to the rule” for ice cream. I think I get my rich cravings for this cold, creamy sweet treat from my grandmother. Just recently, she sent me an email only to tell me of a Talenti gelato flavor I must try.

I eat the decadent, calorie-dense confection all year round, but I think we can all agree its taste appeal heightens even more so during the hot, summer months.

One of my Summer 2014 Bucket List items is to make homemade ice cream. I’ve made it before, but that fact aside, homemade ice cream never gets old. My mouth is watering as I think of delicately ripe apricots pureed into organic whole milk with Madagascar vanilla beans scraped from the pod.

To inspire me to get churning, I created a recipe collection using Foodie.com of a dozen homemade ice cream creations. If you’re as much of an ice cream fan as I am, I encourage you to check out my collection of unique recipes not excluded to recipes including goat cheese, olive oil, and avocado!

    One of the kitchen appliances that I need to buy is an ice cream maker. It would be so much fun to make my own ice cream anytime I wanted!

    Your description of the apricot ice cream has me swooning! I just purchased a homemade ice cream maker and I’m loving it. So far, I’ve made a vegan chocolate chip with coconut milk and a vegan blueberry with coconut milk and almond milk. Loved them both! But I’m also ready to make a full fat totally over the top ice cream! ;)

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
