So we found the absolute easiest basic ice cream recipe available (only two ingredients and no ice cream maker needed!) and made it our own with a play on the flavors of a crunchy slice of toast spread with creamy hazelnut <a href="http://www.nutellausa.com/" target="_blank">Nutella</a>.<br />

We were so pleased with how easy this was to make, but even better, it was super delicious! We can't wait to try all sorts of flavor variations. The brainstorming has already begun.</div>

Here is the recipe:</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Toasted Challah and Nutella Swirl Ice Cream</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Basic ice cream:</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 pint heavy whipping cream</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk</div>
<br />
Whip cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. With mixer on low, slowly pour in condensed milk until it's fully incorporated.<br />
<br />
(At this point you could pop the mixture in the freezer for 6-8 hours and it would come out a perfect ice cream consistency. However, it's more fun to add some flavors now and then freeze it.)<br />
<br />
5 slices challah bread<br />
3 tablespoons melted butter<br />
1/3 cup Nutella (softened in the microwave or on the stovetop)<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.<br />
<br />
Cut the bread into 1/4 inch cubes. Spread in a single layer on a baking pan and put in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until toasted and golden brown. Remove from oven and drizzle with the melted butter until coated evenly. Fold the toast cubes into the ice cream base.<br />
<br />
Pour 1/3 of the ice cream mixture in a pan. (We froze our ice cream in a standard bread loaf pan because the quantity fit perfectly in it.) Drizzle 1/2 of the Nutella on top. Add 1/2 of the remaining ice cream mixture on top of the Nutella and drizzle the remainder of the Nutella on top. Finish with the remainder of the ice cream mixture. Then gently run a butter knife through the mixture to swirl the Nutella throughout. (Don't overmix!)<br />
<br />
Freeze the ice cream for 6-8 hours or overnight, if you can wait that long before eating it!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09947273034932091120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422395290512714240.post-1763618228120330442014-09-04T21:41:00.001-07:002014-09-04T21:44:04.606-07:00Wheat fieldHere's a quick post from a photo shoot two days ago. <a href="http://www.danfordphotography.com/" target="_blank">Karen and Jesse</a> wanted some family photos done in film, so we drove out to a wheat field and snapped a few.

Hi there! We've been enjoying a fantastic, hectic summer... and it's only the tenth of June! I love how we wait all year for the warm weather to arrive and then we cram it full of activity because we want to take advantage of every second. I've probably said it before, but it's true... summer in Montana is amazing!<br />
<br />
Not so long ago, when it was cold and I was very pregnant (!), I took some time to prepare a sweet nursery for our sweet baby, Eden (though at the time we didn't know we were having a girl!) We're excited that Eden's nursery is being featured today over on Apartment Therapy. Here are a few sneak peaks, but go visit <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/edens-sweet-space-to-grow-my-room-204576" target="_blank">Apartment Therapy</a> to see all the pictures!<br />

Well, the last time we blogged, Eden was still in her mama's belly, and we had no idea even that she was a girl. And now look at her! A chubby 3+ month old. She is ever fashionable in red skinny jeans, while her mama shows off her tulle circle skirt. Here are a few pictures of the project:</div>

Remember <a href="http://thatmakes2ofus.blogspot.com/2013/11/autumn-in-bozeman.html" target="_blank">this pretty evening</a>? Well, Jesse and I took some photos of Kelly and Laramie (celebrity couple name - Kelamie) also, but since they were taken with film, we didn't get to actually see them until this past week. Film is a tricky and difficult medium... sometimes the pictures are so beautiful they make you giddy, other times it's all disappointment when you finally get those film scans back. These ones were somewhere in between. Kelly and Laramie themselves were lovely of course, and the night couldn't have been more beautiful.<br />

Jesse and I both love film photography, but it's definitely a skill to be cultivated. It's nice to have sweet family who are patient with us when we want to practice on them:)</div>

Yes, the word "curd" doesn't sound like something super appetizing to eat, but hear us out. We made lemon curd, also sometimes called lemon butter, and it was delicious. Here's the recipe:<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">2 whole eggs</span><br />
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">2 egg yolks<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />3/4 cup sugar<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />1/2 cup fresh lemon juice<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />pinch of salt<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />4 tablespoons butter, cut in pieces</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In a saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks and the whole eggs until combined. Add the lemon juice, zest, and a pinch of salt and mix until just combined. Add the sugar and whisk until combined, then set over medium heat. Add the butter pieces and stir the mixture constantly until all of the butter melts and the mixture thickens and reaches about 170 degrees.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Remove the curd from the heat and pour into a fine mesh sieve set over a clean glass bowl. Use a spoon to help push the mixture through the sieve. Allow to cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.</span></div>

In my opinion, the best way to eat it is a spoonful at a time, right out of the jar. ^^<br />

A while ago (and by 'a while ago', I really mean 'two months ago') Kelly and I and our sister-in-law Meg went out for an afternoon with cameras in tow, determined to find some pretty fall leaves to photograph. </div>

We had one of those falls here in Bozeman where the cold snap hits early, causing a lot of the leaves to just kind of turn brown and fall off before they ever get a chance to change into pretty colors. It was a wee bit disappointing, but we managed to hunt down a few trees that were ever so beautiful and take some pictures. Even in a not-so-perfect autumn, we live in an incredibly beautiful place!<br />

We had been promising our nieces all summer to take them on an "adventure walk," but things just kept getting in the way. We finally made it happen as the last of summer was leaving us. The day we chose happened to be chilly and rainy, thus all the hoodies you see in the photos! Despite the weather, it was a lot of fun, and it even warmed up a bit toward the end of the afternoon. </div>

What is an adventure walk, you ask? Well, before our walk Kelly and I made little checklists on clipboards of items for them to look for along our walk... things like a berry, something round, something fuzzy, a stick to roast marshmallows on, etc. We gave them little tote bags to collect these things in. Also, we had them take photos of certain things, such as something blue, and themselves with their aunties:) We also made the super cool pink "Adventurer" banners you see them rocking in these photos! ^^</div>

Summer has been totally crazy around here... thus the lack of action here on this blog. We have been busy with a capital B. Even though we didn't really have time for it, we decided to go to Portland for a four-day weekend... because, why not? Jesse's brother and his cute little family were going to be there visiting some friends of theirs whom we hadn't met yet, and it seemed like a fun excuse to get away to somewhere neither of us had ever been. Turns out, we think Portland is pretty awesome. Our new friends were great tour guides! We started off Saturday morning by loading six, yep, <em>six</em> bikes and one trailer bike up on their SUV and driving to the hill where the zoo is. Then we unloaded them, hopped on, and cruised all the way down the hill to the downtown area, where we went to the farmers' market. </div>

There were lots of gorgeous flowers too, though I'm not really the kind of girl who ever buys flowers. There was also live music. Oh, and did I mention <em>food</em>? Jesse got some sort of crepe, and I got a tamale (tamal? Whatever, you know what I mean) with artichokes and Cotija cheese. It was amazing.<br />

After the farmers' market, we took off again and spent time biking around downtown, stopping to eat at food trucks and not one, but two breweries (don't judge... all that biking makes you hungry! And thirsty.) Towards the end of the day we biked across a particularly pretty bridge, where we were able to stop for a few moments and enjoy the great views of Portland, and I got to snap a few more pictures. (Have you ever tried to take pictures while riding a bike?? <em>Not</em> advisable.) </div>

Ok, maybe the title's a <em>wee bit</em> of an exaggeration. But seriously, look at that! That beautifulness is called Cliff Lake, and it's only about an hour and a half away from where we live. Jesse and I, along with Laramie and Kelly, two couples whom we are friends with, and their combined total of four kids stole away for a long weekend of camping there this past weekend. And we camped on the far side of the lake, which meant taking boats across the lake with all our camping gear to get to our very isolated camping spot.</div>

Ah, so many things happened, including the above pose. We would usually go out on our boats in the morning, when the lake was green and clear and as smooth as glass, to either fish or explore. Later in the day, when it got hot, we would swim for a little while. The brave ones had a swimming race out to the island one day. We also read, took naps, talked, and relaxed in hammocks strung between two trees. We did a lot of sitting around the fire, especially at night. I made hobo packets for two nights using a variation of <a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.com/2013/06/cajun-hobo-packets-camping-food.html" target="_blank">Emma's recipe</a>, and they were so good! I'll definitely do that again.</div>

Our friends had to leave one night earlier than Kelly and Laramie and us, so the last night, when we were there by ourselves, we took the canoes out in the evening and caught the last of the sunset on the water. It was so incredibly beautiful. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #999999;">--Karen</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12548140965443459865noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422395290512714240.post-68160084928825902172013-06-21T12:06:00.000-07:002013-06-21T12:15:53.462-07:00Before and after... back patio makeover<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So the middle of June came and summer finally decided to grace us Montanans with her presence. And let me tell you, when summer arrives in Montana, it is <em>glorious</em>! As soon as it gets warm, all I want to do is be outside if at all possible, morning, noon and night. When we were first married, I never used to do much with flowers or really anything decorative for outside, but the last couple of years, I've been getting more and more excited about it. However, after a long dreary winter, our patio was looking a little... neglected.<br />

Obviously, a little spiffing up was needed. One major aesthetic improvement came when our vine finally got its leaves back. As nerdy as it is, that vine is pretty much our pride and joy. Since our patio gets the full-on afternoon sun, it didn't used to be very pleasant to sit out there for dinner, so probably at least five years ago Jesse and I planted this vine, but a couple of fierce hailstorms kept knocking it down as soon as it was getting big. It's only been the last two summers that it's finally achieved the dreams we had for it all along, and now it provides perfect shade for our little table in the evenings!</div>

And who doesn't love pretty little lights? :) I bought them last summer at Target and they were a great $25 or so investment. They add nice atmosphere and actually put off a lot of light.</div>

Does it look like I'm trying to block out the neighbors? That's funny, because that's exactly what I'm trying to do! Why? I'm glad you asked. It's because their back patio looks like this:</div>

Pretty, huh? (Please don't tell my neighbors I posted their back patio on my blog!) The bamboo shade was a freebie left over from someone's garage sale last year, and it's on its last legs. This summer will, I'm sure, be its last. Then I'll have to come up with a new way to block out the ugly!</div>

Next comes the fun part... flowers! Jesse found four wine crates being thrown away and brought them home for me. We turned them into two simple planters for flowers... I'll post a how-to on those soon. I love how they turned out and by setting them on the open edges of the patio, they somehow help to make it seem even a little more cozy and private back there.<br />

And this lovely pot above is my mom's, but she left it at my house and headed down to St. George and hasn't come to reclaim it yet. It was looking kind of lonely, so I planted some flowers in it. Much better than an empty pot, right? Right!<br />

I apparently delayed buying herbs for so long that they were all sold out of the standards (basil, cilantro, rosemary, etc.) everywhere I looked, so I just decided to put flowers in the pot that had herbs last year. I wish I had herbs though. Next year maybe I'll be organized and start my own seedlings early.<br />

And there you have it! Much improved, no? My future plans involve a new doormat, possibly an outdoor area rug(??), and someday, my husband building me some modern patio furniture (this part may be just a fantasy, although he totally <a href="http://thatmakes2ofus.blogspot.com/2013/03/pull-up-chair_11.html" target="_blank">has the skills</a> needed!) In the meantime, I'm looking forward to a long (I hope) summer of grilled veggie salads and cold drinks in this little spot of ours.</div>

On a Monday afternoon Karen and I got together to solve the world's problems, and to make biscotti. Problem solving is best done with a cup of coffee in hand, and even better if there's biscotti to dunk in it.</div>

We started with one basic recipe, then divided the dough into four bowls, making four different flavors. They are as follows: Mexican chocolate, butterscotch with burnt sugar, chocolate chip with white chocolate mint glaze, and almond with coffee glaze and toasted coconut. </div>

The possibilities are endless. We came up with these variations based on ingredients we had on hand. Get creative and come up with your own combinations. Here are some we'd like to try next time: spicy butterscotch (with brown sugar and a touch of cayenne), cranberry walnut with orange glaze, espresso with maple glaze . . . we could go on and on, but we'll spare you. Here's a good basic biscotti recipe to start with:</div>

<span class="heading4">Directions</span></div>
<div class="instruction" style="text-align: left;">
<b>1.</b> Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease two cookie sheets; set aside. In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Place eggs and egg yolks in the well and stir into the flour mixture. Add butter and, if desired, orange peel; stir until dough starts to form a ball. Stir in almonds.</div>
<div class="instruction" style="text-align: left;">
<b>2.</b> Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface; divide into three equal portions. Shape each portion into a 14-inch-long log. Place logs about 3 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets; flatten logs slightly until about 1-1/2 inches wide. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until firm and light brown. Remove from oven and place cookie sheets on wire racks; cool 15 minutes.</div>
<div class="instruction" style="text-align: left;">
<b>3.</b> Transfer logs to cutting board. Use a serrated knife to cut each roll diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Place slices, cut sides down, on cookie sheets. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn cookies over; bake 10 to 15 minutes more or until crisp and golden brown. Transfer to a wire racks and let cool.</div>
<div class="instruction" style="text-align: left;">
<b>4.</b> Makes about 84 cookies.</div>

Karen says you have to punk it up (like with a Bob Dylan tee), since you don't want it to look "old lady". Or, maybe you do.

It was a family camping trip, so my brother and his wife and their two munchkins camped with us, as well as my parents, who were here for the week visiting.</div>

The weekend included fishing, exploring with the girls, reading, a campfire (and marshmallows, of course!), and a friendly competition to start a fire the old school way, with a couple of sticks and some rope. After hours of trying, the guys were surely warmed up, though not with any flames. But it was entertaining! And let's just say that nothing bonds a family like sharing a toothbrush. Not just two people, or even three, but four people using the same toothbrush, because three of them conveniently forgot theirs. That is <u>true</u> family love! (And now I'm off to buy a new toothbrush.)</div>

I'm going to be totally honest here: Before I made these, I had never eaten gyoza in my life. In fact, I had little to no idea what they were. But I happened upon a recipe for gyoza as I was aimlessly perusing Pinterest one day, and right away their cute little dumpling appearance had me sold. I like potstickers, (which are apparently kind of the same thing?) and these looked potsticker-ish, and so I kept thinking of them, basically daily, for a couple of weeks before I broke down and bought the ingredients to make them (does this have something to do with being pregnant? A gyoza craving.). As it so happens, they are both fairly simple to make and totally scrumptious to eat; I was actually very disappointed that we had to share them with Kelly and Laramie, because I could've eaten much more!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Disclaimer: I'm not even going to claim that these are authentic. I'm pretty sure they're not, especially as Kelly and I were too lazy to make our own wrappers and used wonton wrappers instead. But, authentic or not, they're pretty tasty. And as an added bonus, they're cute to look at!</div>

<ol itemprop="instructions">
<li>To prepare sauce, combine first 4 ingredients; set aside.</li>
<li>To prepare filling, heat a large non-stick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook 3 minutes or until moisture evaporates, stirring frequently. Add cabbage; cook 3 minutes or until softened, stirring frequently. Stir in 2 tablespoons green onions and next 6 ingredients (2 tablespoons green onions through garlic); simmer 2 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside.</li>
<li>Working with 1 wrapper at a time, spoon 2 teaspoons mushroom mixture into center of wrapper. Wet finger with water, moistening the edges of the wonton wrapper, then fold in half diagonally, pressing to seal all the edges. Bring the two points of the triangle together, sealing them with more water (they will now remind you of a miniature chicken, with the legs twisted behind it... or maybe that's just me.) Place dumplings on a large baking sheet dusted with flour; cover loosely with towel to prevent drying.</li>
<li>Heat peanut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add dumplings; cook 1 1/2 minutes on each side or until browned. Then add approximately 1/2 cup of water, cover and steam dumplings until all water has evaporated. Serve sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired, with spicy dipping sauce on side. </li>

It took sooo long for spring to get to us, so when we finally had a nice sunny afternoon we had to take advantage of it by heading to Lindley Park . . . after stopping for a red velvet mocha. But of course.</div>

Here are four random facts about our trip:<br />
<br />
1) I found out I was pregnant at about 11:30 the night before we left. So I was possibly in a state of shock the whole trip. Also, I learned all sorts of fascinating facts about pregnancy from our friend who was having the baby shower (like did you know babies actually play with their umbilical cord while in the womb? Crazy, huh?).<br />
<br />
2) Kelly got super sick basically the moment we left. So, needless to say, she was not at the top of her game that trip. She slept in the back seat the <em>entire </em>way back to Montana. And she didn't appreciate the omelette bar we went to... pretty sad.<br />
<br />
3) We met up with a friend at the baby shower that we hadn't laid eyes on in <em>fourteen</em> years! And she brought with her photos from the good old days when we all lived in Wyoming, so that was a fun surprise.<br />
<br />
4) We went to the omelette bar at Huckleberry's Natural Market twice in two days! I figured out the art of the omelette bar the second day, and it was quite delicious. Our friend Rachel's omelette even had a little spinach heart on the top.<br />
<br />
<br />
And now for some iphone photos:<br />
