A friend posted on Facebook “Remember the days when an ice cream cone on a hot summer evening was the single bet thing that could happen?”

I think that is a very fair statement.

I used to love ice cream as a kid, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, didn’t matter, well not mint or pistachio, but I did love ice cream. That hasn’t changed, but as a I got older, I was diagnosed with Lactose Intolerance, that was so difficult! I used to love vanilla milkshakes from Burger King, oh boy!

I started taking lactaid pills and it was ok, but didn’t always help. I’ve tried all different types of ice cream substitutes, almond milk, coconut milk, both good, but still not completely the same. Although, when you put enough stuff on ice cream (syrups, sprinkles) its all good!

Doesn’t an ice cream cone make you feel like a kid again?

I like sugar cones better than cake, never liked cake cones, too spongy. Waffle cones are ok, but sometimes, that is too much ice cream, give me a sugar cone with rainbow sprinkles in the bottom of the cone to catch the ice cream as it melts and I am a happy kid!

Sometimes, a sundae is good, ok, we’ll, just give me maraschino cherries and I’m a happy girl! You can add ice cream or not, I love those things!

My favorite flavor is vanilla and one of the best ice creams is Breyer’s and now…Breyer’s came out with a Lactaid Free Vanilla! Wahoo! How excited was I to find that! (I still take a Lactaid pill most of the time, to be on the safe side)

The point of this post? After yummy leftover lasagna (well, my opinion anyway, DCM too) we each had a bowl of Lactaid Free Breyer’s vanilla, DCM adds milk to his, makes a modified milk shake of sorts.

The perfect ending to a summer day, makes me feel like a kid again! What makes you feel that way?
