We’re having a heat wave…..
It’s been really nice in Washington, we’ve had one of the most beautiful summers I can remember in all the years I’ve lived here. In fact, on a few days it’s even been down right hot so we’ve been in need of cooling off and as you know we’re having all the Popsicles we can eat. I still recommend stocking your freezer with popsicles, but if you’re in the home made type dessert I wanted to share this recipe that e-meals sent me. It’s for Peach Buttermilk Ice Cream. I love Buttermilk so this should be good.

I LOVE peaches and this sounds so good and so refreshing I might havee to give this a try!
This is the perfect time to make this, the peaches are ripe and juicy and so fragrant. I want to make this with real buttermilk, I’m checking to see if my local Whole Foods has it, esp if organic. Yum!
