A few random thoughts for today…

I’m completely obsessed with this new soap dispenser. It’s seriously life changing in the kitchen having an automatic soap dispenser. And it’s amazing for the kids to use too. For once, the bathroom isn’t getting totally soaked from them pumping out their own soap and vigorously washing their hands (or playing in the water… who knows what goes on in there).

If you like funny and totally awkward and sometimes inappropriate movies, then you need to watch this. I was honestly waiting for it to be awful but it had us laughing so hard at times. Totally unexpected.

We’re currently obsessing over Covert Affairs and had been in full blown binge mode until the Fall shows started back up. Now I’m finding fewer and fewer shows I want to watch so we have time to catch up before the next season starts in a few short weeks. Are you a fan? I have strong opinions about what happened in a few seasons.

And of course… this ice cream!

Psst… it tastes a-mazing!!!

By far one of our favorites so far. It’s like pie blended up and frozen. Sort of.

For apple lovers, this is an essential Fall ice cream. You may not even want to share it. It’s that kind of good. Or at least make a double batch, because it’s going to disappear before your eyes!

Add this apple butter ice cream to your recipe plans!

How I love this in ice cream form!! Now that you mention the automatic soap dispenser, I kind of want one. There have been so many times my hands are gunky from messing with dough/food/etc that I don’t want to press the soap dispenser. You might have talked me into it!!

  I can’t stop thinking about how germy our old soap dispensers must have been… especially in the kitchen! Gross. You need one of these!

Apple crisp is my enemy. It’s the one baked good I’m totally powerless over (see the half eaten apple crisp tart in my fridge right now), and in ICE CREAM?! I need it. Pinned!

Ice cream makers are not easily available where I come from, so is there a way I can almost recreate the same but using another equipment? Let’s say a blender? If so, how can I do this? By the way, I love ALL your recipes that I’ve come across.

  You could certainly give it a try using a blender. The ice cream maker both adds body to the ice cream while also freezing it a bit before it’s final freeze. Without this, you may have a firmer ice cream but it should still taste fine. Good luck!! :)
