I am always on the hunt for new ways to enjoy yummy treats with my family, while also keeping it healthy. Of course, we splurge on the not-so-healthy things here and there, but if I can find a healthier alternative to cook myself, I do.
I came across this AMAZING blog, Just Making Noise: Sounds bites from a deaf mama. Marillyn not only shares tips and recipes on how to live a healthy life, but also their families journey on giving back. Currently, her and her family teach people in the surrounding village of Honduras how to raise their own food through square foot gardening and caring for goats to provide milk. She really is doing amazing things through her mission work ro4y, Rancho Oasis for Youth. You can read more about what Marillyn does on her blog.
One thing I came across was her Ice Cream eBook. Ice Cream is one of those yummy treats my family LOVES, but a lot of the ice cream has yucky fillers and artificial ingredients that isn’t very healthy for the family. Marillyn does an amazing job explaining why you should make your own ice cream, what ingredients should go in your ice cream (explaining each ingredient in detail), equipment you will need (and NO, you don’t need an ice cream maker!!!), and pointers on how to get the most out of the book and make the best ice cream possible!!
The book really goes beyond just sharing a few ice cream recipes (there are over 30 in her book) and I can guarantee you will LOVE it!! Not only will purchasing the book teach you how to make your own ice cream, but your purchase of the book will help the Beard family reach their goals to not only help the Honduran people, but also spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Need just a few more reasons to get the book???!!!
- It’s Cheaper than buying store-bought ice cream
- You can make it around any allergies your family might have
- It is environmentally healthy
- Fun for the entire family to do together
