Today we made banana blueberry ice cream.  It's not really ice cream, actually.  It's just frozen bananas spun around in the blender until they're an ice cream consistency.  Then once you get that, you can add in whatever else you want.  We put in a spoonful of blueberry jam, but anything will work. Other people I know do peanut butter, Nutella, strawberries, mangoes, even chocolate chips.  There's really no limit to the ways you can go with this, so add whatever you want. 

Then after you do that, you can either eat it right away, with a consistency like soft serve ice cream, or you can freeze it again until it becomes harder and scoopable like regular ice cream.  Of course, my guys aren't big on waiting, so they had to eat it right away.  It was definitely a hit!  We're sure sissy would have loved it, too, but she went to work with daddy today (another of the contractors has his daughter for the summer, so the girls play together out there) so she wasn't around to try it this time. 

This time, we did blueberry. Next time maybe we'll do chocolate chips!  Orren's best friend's mommy also tells me that if you add an avocado, it's REALLY creamy, so maybe we'll give that a shot, too.
