Summer Goodness: Homemade Ice Cream Toppings


Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time. ~John Lubbock


Today I have a new article on Old Fashioned Living with recipes to make your own ice cream toppings, including:


Chocolate Sauce
Vanilla Sauce
Fruit Sauce
Strawberry Hard Sauce


All of these sauces can be used with other desserts too; such as pound cake, angel food cake, fresh fruit, pancakes or waffles.


You'll find the article and recipes here:

Old Fashioned Summer Beverages




Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language. ~Henry James


Today I have a new article on Old Fashioned Living with recipes to cool you down this summer.  Two non-alcoholic recipes and two with a little pick-me-up are included. 

Iced Mint Cocoa
Raspberry Mint Lemonade
Champagne Punch
Nasturtium Punch

I'm always singing the praises of nasturtiums, and this punch is a perfect way to use the blooms, no matter what variety you grow.
