For those of you who are still getting lots of fun (or not so fun) snow, here is a fun recipe. You’ll see that mine is a little melted in the picture. That’s because I hadn’t intended to take a picture of this. In my mind, everyone makes snow cream. I never realized it might be a regional thing until people started requesting the recipe. So, here is my half-eaten, a little melty snow cream 
If you’re me, you throw in some snow, add in about a teaspoon of vanilla, and some sweetened condensed milk, followed by some chocolate for added flavor. But since that isn’t very precise, I found a similar recipe for you guys. So, if you’re Paula Deen, you would use:
Ingredients:
8 cups snow (or shaved ice she says)
1 can sweetened condensed milk;
1 tsp vanilla.
Mix it all up and enjoy. You have to really stir it to get everything to mix well with the snow. But, seriously this is some good stuff. My mid-west born hubby had never had it before and he was surprised at how good it was. I think he doubted me. Also, feel free to substitute as necessary. When we were growing up, my mom always used evaporated milk and sugar rather than the sweetened condensed milk, but when I made this I didn’t have either of those things (yes, I ran out of SUGAR! can you believe it? I couldn’t either). So, I used the sweetened condensed milk because that’s what I had on hand. Just make it work for you and enjoy it for the yumminess that it is
And as a bonus here is a pic of Caeden enjoying some last weekend. Yes, he randomly took his shirt off in the winter, but I assure you our house was warm And, as I look at this pic, he may have been eating just plain snow at this point, because he kept saying, “more flakes, more flakes” It was cute.
