This is a really fun recipe to use in the summer, on a hot day, or just for fun. Kids love rolling it back and forth (and this is a great use for used 10# food storage cans).
1 c milk
1 c whipping cream
1/2 c sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
Mix together and put in large mason jar (I also use cleaned jars from the yummy peaches, del monte I think)and put the lid on very tightly. Place inside 10# can. Put ice and rock salt around the jar and put lid on can. Roll back and forth between people for 10 minutes. Refill ice and rock salt and roll for 5-10 more minutes. Yummy and fun ice cream.

Cheddar Corn Chowder
We tried this recipe 2 weeks ago and it was delicious. I changed some of the ingriedent amounts below from the original recipe. We had this with homemade corn bread (I'll post that recipe soon) and it was yummy. We had leftovers for the next day and froze some for dinner or lunch another time.
* 8 ounces bacon, chopped
* 1/4 cup good olive oil
* 3 cups chopped yellow onions (2 large onions)
* 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
* 1/2 cup flour
* 2 teaspoons kosher salt
* 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
* 12 cups chicken stock
* 6 cups medium-diced potatoes, unpeeled (2 pounds)
* 10 cups corn kernels, fresh (10 ears) or frozen (3 pounds)
* 2 cups half-and-half
* 8 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, grated
Directions
In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, cook the bacon and olive oil until the bacon is crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and reserve. Reduce the heat to medium, add the onions and butter to the fat, and cook for 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent.
Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, and turmeric and cook for 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and potatoes, bring to a boil, and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob and blanch them for 3 minutes in boiling salted water. Drain. (If using frozen corn you can skip this step.) Add the corn to the soup, then add the half-and-half and cheddar. Cook for 5 more minutes, until the cheese is melted. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve hot with a garnish of bacon.

Baked French Toast Casserole
This recipe is delicious and less time consuming than standing over the stove making french toast, one batch at a time, while your family gobbles it up and asks for more, before you can even enjoy one slice (like regular french toast).
1 loaf french bread (13-16 oz)
8 eggs
2 c half and half
1 c milk
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
dash salt
praline topping, below
maple syrup
slice french bread into 20 slices. Arrange slices in two layers, overlapping slices in a 9 x 13 pan. In a large bowl, mix the rest of ingredients listed (through the salt) with a whisk, until bubbily. Pout mixture over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture Spoon some of the mixture in between the slices. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
You can mix the praline topping the night before also (just leave on the counter or refrigerate and let soften before putting on top), but put on top just before baking.
Praline topping:
1 stick butter
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c chopped pecans
1 Tbsp light corn syrup
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
spread over the bread and bake for 40-50 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup.
The next day,preheat oven to 350.

Peanut Butter Apple Muffins
This is my favorite snack! Good for breakfast or after dinner "treat".
whole wheat/whole grain english muffins
peanut butter
apple
Cut english muffin in half and toast. Remove from toaster and spread with a little bit of peanut butter on each side. Top with apple slices. I top it either with large section sliced from the apple or three small slices of the apple, fanned out.

Alice Springs Chicken (Outback Chicken)
Mix equal parts (usually 1/3 c., for 12 servings I'd do about 3/4-1 c. of each):
mayo
honey
spicy brown mustard
Other ingredients:
boneless skinless chicken breasts, 4-6
bacon, cooked until crisp
cheddar cheese, sliced
Pour some of the sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Put chicken on top and pour some more sauce on top, reserving a little bit of sauce to warm and serve later. Cook at 375 until chicken is done. While chicken is done, cook the bacon. Remove chicken from the oven and top each breast with cheese, cooked bacon, and another slice of cheese. Return to the oven until cheese melts. Serve with the extra sauce.
(you can add sauteed mushrooms to the top of the chicken along with the cheese and bacon)
