Summer is almost over and before we know it fall will be here. So I thought I'd share some Ice cream treats before summer is over=)! Also bear with me as all my cookbooks and most of my magazines are in boxes these are all either ones I have memorized or ones saved on my computer. As soon as we move I'll go through my books and add some from them. Happy eating=)!
