This Butter Pecan Ice Cream is easy to make and tastes insanely good!
I know this looks really good and you are in awe of my awesomeness.
You are probably wondering how we can eat ice cream when it's so freaking cold outside. It is a hard concept.
All I can tell you is it's warm and toasty in the house. So, that's the loophole. You now know the secret of the universe.
I probably should have kept that to myself. Er, forget I said anything. There's no loophole. Hey what's that behind you? *tries to edit quickly*
We went out to the barn today to see horsey. I was so pleased when the farrier turned up. Not because he's a total cutie-patootie but because he brought his girlfriend with him. She's an old friend of mine and mini-me's.
Mr Cutie Patootie walked in and when I stopped staring looked around there was his darling girlfriend. I adore this girl and have such fond memories of her from years past.
She is older than mini-me but she was one of the only ones who didn't care about stuff like that and took mini-me under her wing and made her feel welcome. Mini-me is very shy. Back then she was uber shy. This young gal made sure to always talk to her and I remember finding them sitting under a tree outside talking one day. I am ever grateful to Anna-Marie for always being kind to my daughter.
I had not seen her in years. We keep in touch via facebook but that's not the same. Today we got caught up. Love days like that.
Doesn't hurt to have some eye candy wandering around in the background either let me tell you.

Lol, you must try getting one. I never thought I'd love it so much. Making your own means you can control additives and chemicals which is really nice.

My dad loved it too. So I have fond memories of it. Glad you liked it, hope you try it out. Would love to see your spin on it.

I enjoy a good butter pecan ice cream, but love it mainly b/c it brings back great memories of seeing my father indulge in sweets for the first time as a kid. I always saw him as the serious pastor, no time for foolishness, but to see the big kid smile on his face as he burrowed into the bottom of the butter pecan gallon of ice cream made me see him differently that day, and definitely made me smile. Thanks for bringing back great memories, I hope to make this recipe for him someday, I know it will mean a lot to him =]

Oh man, this sounds amazing! I need to get a new ice cream maker stat, mine burned out this summer (over use maybe??). When I do get a new one, I have to try this, <3 butter pecan! Nothing wrong with a little eye candy from time to time 😉

Aw, Kym that is just such a sweet memory. It was one of my Dad's faves too so it makes me sentimental too. I hope you make this for him and give him a big hug. I miss my Dad a lot.

Hey Megan. I am so happy you stopped by. I am the same way. I have to indulge once a week or I start to go into withdrawals.
Kim Bee
Hi Anne. Lol, I do think highly of my awesomeness some days don't I. *giggles* I get like that on my Dad's birthday and my Mom's. Also the day they died every year I get nostalgic for things they liked.

Hi Tina. I am so sorry, I am so behind this week due to a small personal crisis. I made a note to stop by tomorrow to check out my award. I am just headed to bed so will stop by tomorrow. You are so sweet.
