Homemade Ice Cream

1 quart ziploc bag
1 gallon ziploc bag (or you can use a tupperware container with lid)

1/2 c. cream
1 TB. splenda
1/2 ts. vanilla extract

6 TB. Salt
3 cups ice


What you do:

Put cream, splenda, and vanilla in smaller ziploc. SEAL TIGHTLY.

Fill gallon ziploc (or container) with the ice. Add the salt.

Place small ziploc (with ingredients) into larger ziploc (or container). SEAL.

SHAKE...SHAKE...SHAKE. About 4-5 minutes for softserve, or longer if you like your ice cream a little harder. Remove small bag...RINSE THOROUGHLY BEFORE OPENING (this ensures you won't have ice cream tasting like salt). Voila. Homemade icecream...just as good (if not better) than the low carb stuff you purchase...

The bag you shake does get really cold (the chemical reaction of the salt and ice), so if you have sensitive hands a tupperware container works just as well. Just make sure you don't shake 'open' the small bag with the cream ingredients.

The serving has a half cup cream, so be careful of the carb creep with that. By making your own, you not only cut out the risk of eating the entire container (if you buy it at the store), but you burn calories while shaking away!!!

All I can say is OMG!!! I made the following chicken recipe (off the top of my head) and felt like I had been transported to some exotic location after the first bite. If you like exotic ethnic foods, you owe it to yourself to try this!!!

1. Line an oven-proof dish (the size that will hold all the drumsticks) with aluminum foil.
2. Place the drumsticks on the foil, allowing for a little separation between the pieces.
3. Season one side with sea salt, white pepper, ground ginger, chili powder, Chinese 5-spice powder and dried basil. (Important: LAYER THE SEASONINGS IN ORDER.)
4. Mash the seasonings into the chicken thighs with the back of a fork.
5. Flip the drumsticks and repeat steps 3-4.
6. Place prepared chicken under a broiler for about 7 minutes each side. I don't have exact time on this. I just checked the chicken and thought it was going to burn, so I flipped it. I didn't note the time. Turns out the chicken didn't burn, but it was so crispy and flavorful. There could have been a box of Oreos in front of me and I would've passed on them in favor of this chicken-- that's how good it is!

* You will know it's done when a few spots of the chicken are very dark brown (almost black) and crispy. If you prefer charred, leave in a little longer.

Hope you all enjoy this induction-friendly main course!

P.S. I enjoyed mine with two side dishes. I simply heated sesame oil, hot pepper oil and freshly chopped garlic in a large frying pan long enough for the garlic to brown, then I added rinsed shirataki noodles to the pan along with a little sea salt. I only "stir-fried" this concoction to warm the noodles; otherwise, they'd be too rubbery. For the other side dish, I sauteed asparagus with fantastic olive oil, FRESH Italian parsley and FRESH oregano in a large frying pan. I didn't even have to add salt because it didn't need it.

Carole, the ice cream recipe sounds AWESOME!!! I can't wait to try it! thanks so much for posting it! (It's great to find a homemade ice cream w/out eggs --- one of my kids has an egg allergy and it's so hard to find eggless homemade ice cream recipes - so an extra thank you on behalf of my son)

Laura, the chicken recipe sounds great - Did u use a whole chicken or just chicken parts?

Steak tips seasoned with cajun seasoning, grilled, topped with sauteed peppers and onions, with a small side salad. YUMMY!
