Quite possibly the best ice cream. Ever.

I was completely floored by the amazingness of this ice cream the first time I conjured it up. Bryant was impressed, but not to the same degree. Jonathan and Amy came up this weekend and I made it again and was happy to see that they were also floored and dubbed it the best ice cream. It is simple, but oh so good.

2 c buttermilk
1 c sugar (taste as you add so that you get the sweetness that tastes best to you)
1 c cream (I've used whole milk in a pinch)
zest of 1 lemon
1 tsp vanilla

Combine buttermilk and sugar and whisk until sugar dissolves. Add remaining ingredients and freeze in an ice cream maker. Eat it all in one sitting. Repeat.

What we are eating.

Bryant and I decided to do this 21 day eating challenge (shortened into 15 days because that is the longest amount of time we are both in town this month) and we started yesterday.  I'm posting the link because everything we have eaten so far has been surprisingly delicious.  There were some recipes I was dreading (like the kale and cabbage slaw) but have ended up loving.  The first week your meals consist of fruit, veggies, nuts and seeds and lots of water.  I thought we were going to starve.  But I'm not.  And I am interested to see as we reintroduce foods (sea food and legumes, then eggs and non gluten grains, and eventually dairy and gluten and sugar) how each item makes me feel.  21 days (or 15 in our case) doesn't feel like forever and it has been a great way to try some new veggie based recipes and to learn how to incorporate more nuts and seeds into our meals.  So no fun dessert recipes from me until February.

Do you want to know what I miss the most?  Cheese.  I love cheese.
