How about some Tuesday ice cream?
Hey, there’s strawberries in it. In my book that means it’s a well-balanced snack. Making it perfect for the 3:30pm munchies. At least to me anyway.
Basically, this ice cream is my mood stuffed into a sweet little waffle cone, dipped in chocolate and piled high with strawberry ice cream. Typically I go for the chocolate, and I will still probably choose an indulgent chocolate cone over a fruity one, but today I am just feeling like I need to branch out a little and step away from the chocolate (at least for an hour). Plus, I am just loving everything about the month of June and we are only three days in. I am so in a summer mood, like all the time.
I think it will become pretty obvious, pretty fast just how cheery and well, colorful I am feeling.
One of the things I am finding that I love, is that with the changing seasons brings new inspiration as well as new moods. By moods I only mean that things in summer feel so much brighter and prettier than my mood in say, the winter, when things feel cozier and darker. I am having a hard time coming up with the right words, but basically I think it is cool how my changing moods reflect across the blog.
I think you can really see this change, mainly in my photos. Right now I am just loving adding color and brightness to everything. I am having so much fun setting up summery scenes and trying to convey what feeling I am going for with that particular food. I am still learning and figuring out what works and what doesn’t, so am not loving everything, but you never learn and improve if you don’t keep trying and changing, right?
I think that most foods come along with a stereotype or a certain scene associated with eating them. Like when I think of a turkey sandwich I think about picnics. BBQ chicken and ribs are a backyard BBQ. Watermelon conjures up a hot summer day by the lake or a field of green grass. Ice cream makes me think of walking down a board walk.
Summer foods are just naturally colorful, juicy and attractive. In summer, food can have fun because in general, everything is just more laid back.
Let’s be honest, summer food is the best!
Hello?!?! Fields and fields of fresh berries, ice cream at every corner!
YES!
The point of this ridiculously long, and probably super confusing to anyone but me, conversation is that summer is fun and I am loving creating summer foods.
It’s making me super happy. Well, that and I leave for Florida in 15 days. I am SO READY for vacation. Cannot wait!
Until then I am making all the ice cream I can! And um…YOU SHOULD TOO!!
You need to give this ice cream a try simply because it’s awesome and well… you need it. The kid inside of you needs it.
Trust me.

I mean, I am not messing around here it. Oh, and dip your cones in chocolate. It’s the way to go.
This looks so amazing! The graham crumbles look to-die-for!
I usually go for the over-the-top chocolatey ice creams, too. But, every once in a while, I feel the need to get a scoop of strawberry with rainbow sprinkle on top 😛
Thanks so much, Rachael!!
Love that crumble but especially the caramelized strawberries, what an awesome idea!
