So if anyone is wondering how my homemade coconut ice cream went, well the blurry picture below is not a good example....The cream came out pretty good, so good Ryan and I ate ever bit of it when the timer went off. I know that it will be way better next time when I fix my mistakes.
The ice cream maker ROCKS, but I wasn't using full fat Coconut Milk (that was all I had).
We used:
3 cups Coconut Milk (full fat is best)
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1 tsp. guar gum or agar agar (stablizer)
1 tsp. Cinnamon
some random Peanut Butter swirls
Lately, I've been shopping after work, and sometimes that can lead to random impulse buying and spending more money over the long run because I wasn't planning out my shopping trips.
Today was my day off, I could've mowed the grass, but instead I decided to see how many bargains I could find. I heard on a TV commercial that Harris Teeter was doing a double coupon day....I found that REALLYsketchy, but figured I'd give it a whirl. I realized that a lot of the products I usually buy are really expensive at the conventional grocery store, but since I did have some pretty hefty coupons (.75 to $1 Off) I figured doubling them would save me some money and it did! Below are all items I got using coupons that were doubled. I stocked up! The Small steps recycled not bleached toiletpaper only cost me .89! Although you may say, "well those aren't really food items.." I'd say you're right, these are more household items or pantry items, but they are expenisve too and I was glad to get them at such a good deal! I am trying to convert my whole house over to this new way of healthy living and that is very expensive so using coupons to do it a little a time makes it an easier transition.
