Clorox Clean-Up "Recipes for Fun" Sweepstakes + Our First Snow Cream of the Year and Recipe

I love to bring my kids into the kitchen with me to cook.  The time of the year can determine what we are cooking.  In the summertime, we enjoy cooking our vegetables we have grown.  In the winter, we like to make hot chocolate, bake cookies and if possible snow cream.  Today was a perfect chance to make snow cream.  I have fond memories of making this when I was a child with my mom.  Hopefully, my kids will have fond memories of cooking with me when they are older.  We have had very little snow this year but today we got lucky and it is snowing now.  We took advantage of our chance.



We placed a big bowl outside on the patio table and after watching it snow for a few hours we journeyed outside to retrieve our bowl.  We all love snow cream and were very excited to have some for an afternoon snack. This may be our only chance this winter.  It is so simple to make and takes very little time.  Once you make it, you need to eat it immediately so it doesn't melt.

Recipe:
1 Gallon Snow
1 Cup of Sugar
1 Tbsp Vanilla Flavoring
2 Cups of Milk
Sprinkles

Add sugar and vanilla flavor.  Slowly add the milk to your desired consistency.  (You can also use chocolate milk.) Serve in ice cream bowls and add sprinkles on top.

Since my family enjoys cooking together, I am sure to find great recipes for fun.  This is a great activity to do inside on a rainy day or during the winter.  I am constantly trying to find great activities to do when it is cold outside.  Letting a child make a mess is sometimes necessary to have great fun. I always try to remember that things can be cleaned up and clothes can be washed.
