As some close family and friends know, our diet during the engagement consisted mostly of quesadillas. However, we were known occasionally to splurge our calories on a sweeter treat called Puppy Chow (AKA Chex Muddy Buddies). It is actually quite a healthy snack, based on vitamin fortified Crispix cereal, protein packed peanut butter, and antioxidant rich chocolate chips with a dusting of powdered sugar. It's what keeps us in such good shape. We actually made three batches on our week long honeymoon.
So adapting to the climate of our new home, we have found a new way to cure our sweet tooth. Our bowl of puppy chow on the counter has been replaced by tupperware containers of ice cream in the freezer. It has taken some time to perfect the recipe; the first batch we doubled the cream (that will be the last time we rely on the GPS to help us convert pints to cups). Now we believe that the possibilities are endless and we are gaining fans quickly. My dad claimed that our cookie dough ice cream was the best ice cream he had ever eaten. Stay tuned and we'll let you know when the "Van Buren Creamery" opens its doors.
