More Strawberries

I don't have pictures of the recipe right now, but I'll throw some up here later.

We have a little garden behind our town home that husband has been meticulously caring for all spring/summer. Our landlord started it and then moved out leaving behind large strawberry plants.

These strawberry plants are ridiculous. We HAVE to pick strawberries every day or they rot. It's not just one or two berries a day either.


Every 2 or 3 days we have a FULL gladware container!

I've been trying to eat them and use them as much as possible before they go bad, but we still end up giving quite a few away to friends and neighbors.

I wanted ice cream yesterday, but all we had was boring vanilla with no toppings. So I got creative.

Strawberry Ice Cream/Milkshakes

Ingredients:

2 cups strawberries rinsed and de-stemmed
1/2 cup sugar
3 cups vanilla ice cream

put it all in a blender and blend until all the ice cream is pink. If you want chunks of strawberries, put the ice cream in first with the strawberries on top and pulse on low until combined. It'll be like soft serve ice cream, but you can put it in the freezer to harden it back up. If you want milkshakes, add milk until you get the consistency you want.

If you live in Rexburg and want some strawberries, be our guest! I'm getting sick of 'em!
