When we have company, I always like to make homemade goodies to share. A couple of weeks ago when I was preparing and planning for company, my time was really limited.  It was still important to me to be able to make something fun, but using shortcuts was a necessity.

Doing my normal blog stalking, my pal over at A Dash of Sanity shared a brilliant idea. Ice Cream. But, semi-homemade. Her clever idea involves taking already made vanilla ice cream and blending in delicious toppings. The outcome? Delicious creations like her chocolate chip peanut butter ice cream. Oh yum. Seriously. I just knew this would be the answer to my company planning woes.  When thinking of my own toppings, I just knew that peanut butter was a must. Kids just love PB&J sandwiches so I figured that I just couldn't go wrong giving it a try.

It was a total win. Although, some kids thought it tasted like peanut butter ice cream but others said they thought it tasted just like a PB&J sandwich.  Either way, yum.  The beautiful part is that you can take your own favorite flavor and just blend in the toppings you love. You'll nail it every time.
