Brown Sugar Ice Cream


This is the same recipe as the vanilla home made ice cream, except I tried it out using brown sugar. My husband did not like how it turned out, he said it was good going down, but left a film in his mouth.

I thought it was good.......

Healthyish Graham Cracker Dessert

I was inspired to make this after having some Nature Valley Granola Thins. I had graham cracker crumbs, so I thought I would try make them myself. It is like a graham cracker crust with melted chocolate on top, except I added healthy stuff like flax seed and wheat germ.

It has, 1/2 box graham cracker crumbs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup wheat germ
1cup flax seed
3/4 cup melted butter
1t vanilla
2 cups chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients except chocolate chips. If the mixture seems too dry, you can add more butter or vegetable oil. Press into a jelly roll pan, bake at 350 degrees for about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately add the chocolate chips. Return to oven for about a minute until melted. Spread chocolate evenly. I let mine cool and storing it in the refrigerator.
