Country Vanilla Ice Cream (Meyer Family Recipe)

Meyer Family Recipe  (Vicki’s Family)

Country Vanilla Ice Cream

This is the “Meyer Family Recipe” that Vicki and all of my sisters grew up with and I cannot count how many times we have cranked this ice cream…NO ELECTRICITY ALLOWED! We are a true HAND-CRANK ice cream famiy…and when we started getting married, some of the new son-in-laws thought we should go electric…no way!

Ice Cream Hand Crank

It’s all about the experience and sitting on top of that cold freezer on a hot summer day, although we’ve been known to crank ice cream with snow on a cold and blustery winter day too!

Ice Cream Contents

The very best part is when you pull out the “rib” and eat that first bite right from the freezer! What delicious memories!

 “This recipe came with the very first ice cream freezer my husband, Herman and I bought shortly after we were married in 1959.”

4 eggs, well beaten
2 ½ c. sugar
6 c. milk
4 c. heavy whipping cream
1 ½ T. real vanilla
½ tsp. salt

Add sugar gradually to beaten eggs, beating well after each addition…You cannot over beat this mixture!  When mixture becomes very stiff, add remaining ingredients and mix well.  Freeze per manufacturers instructions.

Hope YOU and your family enjoy this as much as we have!

Winter Soup & Fun

26 01 2012

Left to Right… Felipe (Barros Family Exchange Student Daughter from Portugal), Ruth Meyer (our mom), Jenae Barros (my niece), Nila Meyer Barros (my sister), & Haylee Barros (my niece)…all having fun in Colorado!

My mother, Ruth, trained her girls well…she taught us the LOVE of Cooking!  My sister, Nila is a fabulous cook, and she shared some photos and recipes from their trip to my parents house in Colorado…delicious Hearty Hashbrown Soup, Garlic Monkey Bread & Quick Tossed Salad.  I thought this was the perfect time to pass along some easy and delicious winter recipes.  Enjoy!

PS. Click here for photos of some of our other cooking from our parents house in Colorado.

Hearty Hashbrown Soup… This is so easy to throw together and you’ll probably have most of the ingredients on hand.  You can make it ahead of time and keep it going in the Crock Pot for an easy meal to come home to, or mix it up at the last minute!  A delicious meal on a cold winter evening!  Click for Hearty Hashbrown Soup recipe.

Quick Tossed Salad… No recipe needed for this one.  Just open the fridge, put some greens into a bowl, then open the pantry and see what you might throw in on top.  Nila used dried cranberries, cashews and almonds this time, and other delicious toppings would be croutons, dried blueberries, mandarin oranges, sunflower seeds, etc.

Garlic Monkey Bread

When I called my mom, Ruth, for this recipe, she said …”Vicki, I think that one came from you!”  Hahahah! It had been a long time since I had made this, but it is so easy and delicious.  This is a great recipe for when you have little helpers in the kitchen.  You can keep them busy dipping the dough into the butter and garlic mixture, and it bakes up fast.  It is the perfect accompaniment to a winter soup meal, and most of us have refrigerated biscuit dough in the fridge.  Click Here for Garlic Monkey Bread recipe.  

We hope you enjoy this simple, but DELICIOUS dinner idea from our family!  I wouldn’t mind a snow day sometime soon! 🙂  Vicki Adrian





Darrell’s Homemade Beef Vegetable Stew

20 11 2011

Darrell’s Homemade Beef Vegetable Soup
Darrell & Holly Adrian
Tulsa, Oklahoma

We recently had an invitation to visit Darrell & Holly Adrian at their home in Tulsa, OK… Darrell had given me this recipe about a year ago, and our family has enjoyed it, but we had never had the opportunity to taste the “original”… It is delicious!  Darrell & Holly have a warm, welcoming home, and we had a great time visiting over bowls of this hearty stew. They served it with corn muffins, and a wonderful Sour Cream Raisin Pie, which I am hoping to get the recipe to share with you all later! (Hint, hint!) Here is the recipe!

2 1/2 – 3 lbs. stew meat
2 lbs. carrots
2 good size potatoes
1 large onion
1 med. size turnip
1 pkg. frozen corn
1 pkg. frozen green beans
4 small cans tomato sauce
1 small can tomato paste
3 T. sugar
2 beef bullion cubes
1 pkg. dry onion soup mix
2 or 3 bay leaves
some minced garlic
salt, pepper (can substitute seasoned salt) to taste
for extra flavor, you can add 1/4 cup wine
Add anything else you like!

Cut up the vegetables and mix everything into a large crock-pot and let it cook all day.

Thank you Darrell & Holly…sounds delicious on a cold, snowy day!
