Winter chill? Snow what … try making snow ice cream
Snow cream
Setting aside concerns for salmonella from raw eggs and pollution that might be captured in each falling snowflake, we made snow ice cream today.
It didn’t take long.
Beat 2 eggs, add 2 tsp. of vanilla, 1/2 cup of sugar and a little milk, and you have a sweet little concoction to add to the light and fluffy stuff that is resting several inches deep on your windshield. This was my sister-in-law Sandy’s recipe for snow ice cream. (She has to share this with me every time it snows, because I forget.)
After spooning up a bowlful, I placed the snow in individual cups and then poured just enough liquid fun to make the snow stick together in the consistency of ice cream. Yum!
The kids tried it, and one review was good. My 4-year-old scrunched his face and didn’t think it could take the place of a Braum’s yogurt “twist.” And my 15-year-old said it was nasty. But my husband and youngest daughter liked it.
This treat is one my husband and I remember having as children. Recipes might have differed, but it was something we looked forward to when it snowed. Whether true or not, you were always supposed to wait until the second snow. (This was our second snow. 
)
Bad weather days can quickly become good family fun when you make a little, simple effort.

Great post! I loved snow ice cream growing up; however, all three of my kids gave it a thumbs down the last time it snowed. I haven’t tried again, but maybe I will tomorrow.
Okay your SIL’s recipe sounds delish-we will have to make it the next time it snows..
Congrats on your Okie blog nom!
A few workers in our area got Salmonella poisoning. It is a good thing that they did not die and they have fully recovered. ‘

Hello there, You’ve performed an excellent job. I will definitely digg it and personally suggest to my friends. I am confident they’ll be benefited from this web site.
I would like to show some thanks to this writer just for rescuing me from such a incident. After surfing through the world wide web and meeting things which were not helpful, I believed my life was over. Living minus the approaches to the difficulties you have resolved by way of your main guideline is a serious case, as well as the ones that would have in a wrong way affected my entire career if I had not come across your site. Your personal know-how and kindness in maneuvering all things was invaluable. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I hadn’t encountered such a subject like this. I am able to at this point relish my future. Thank you very much for your expert and effective help. I will not think twice to recommend your web sites to anyone who should have guidelines about this area.
I’m impressed, I need to say. Really hardly ever do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me inform you, you’ve gotten hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not sufficient people are speaking intelligently about. I’m very comfortable that I stumbled across this in my seek for one thing regarding this.
I actually learned about a majority of this, but that being said, I still considered it turned out valuable. Beautiful job!
I think I will try your recipe tonight. I think I will use egg beaters. Had some left over from something else I did. I usually just make instant pudding and add a little more sugar but when I checked the cabinet I only had lemon pudding. Susie wasn’t thrilled with that.
