Casual Fridays are supposed to be about things I love – whether it is a picture of something I love, or a picture I love, or a photo taken with a piece of gear I love. But, I’m breaking the mold this week.

I don’t love snow.

I grew up in Southern California. When I lived there, I loved snow, because that meant I was on vacation. Now… not so much. HOWEVER…. I do love some of the things that come with snow. I love snow days (sadly, we didn’t get any time off work for this round of snow), I love cute boots that must be worn because the snow is so high, and I LOVE snow cream. Before this week, I had never had snow cream, but now I’m in love. Unfortunately, I ate it all before I could take a picture of it. It’s like ice cream, but cheaper and healthier!

Here’s how to make it:

You Need:

A big bowl of clean snow (about a gallon)
1/4 cup of sugar
1/2 to 1 cup of milk
A teaspoon of vanilla extract

Mix the snow, vanilla and sugar up, then stir/mix in the milk till it comes together.

(We’re obviously not having any outdoor picnics for a while)
