If At First You Don't Succeed

I intended to have some ice cream for my birthday yesterday, and took some frozen fruit and covered it with cashew milk and stuck it in the freezer. When I got home from the Botanical Garden's yesterday, I found it a block of ice with fruit in it. I put it in the freezer, hoping it would thaw enough so I could eat it. Still quite solid when I went to bed. However, this morning it's perfect, not as ice cream, but putting the still frozen mixture in my Ninja, I made a delicious slushy. Which I'm eating right now. It almost seems wrong to have a slushy for breakfast, but there's nothing not good for you, and it tastes awesome. I used the tropical blend frozen fruit - strawberries, pineapple, mango, and something else. So, I'm getting everything that's good for me in a delicious summer treat that I will definitely be making more often. Have you experimented with food ideas and had to adjust it, and it still turned out awesome? Picture is mine of the slushy. Thanks for reading.

Happy Birthday yesterday. I can't believe I missed it. That slushy sounds wonderful. I am often throwing different things together. Sometimes it is good, sometimes not.

When they turn out good, you just need to remember what you did to make it good. Thank you.

I would have just had a bit of regular ice cream as my birthday treat. I had some on Sunday for the first time in probably a year at my niece's birthday party. My mother's best friend hired an ice cream truck to come. It was so cool.

It happens to me often as I love to cook and never follow recipes.

@just4him Yes And when I find out some really attractive dish by chance, I feel like a chef

@just4him When my husband likes something I prepared, I write down my recipe, he is not happy if I cannot do the same again in the future.

@LadyDuck It's always best to write it down, then you have it and you can also give the recipe to someone else who might like it as well.

I always eat frozen fruit when it's hot, sometimes I let it thaw a little bit but usually I just eat em as ice. I also like to use them in water instead of ice cubes.

@rebelann I know a lot of people do, and I've tried it at their homes, during get together's. It's okay, I just prefer my water plain.

If it ice cream you want, maybe you want to put in more cream or milk. But slushy is good.

My blender is broke. My roommate's generic NutriBullet is broke. So, no slushy here. But, Dollar Tree sells Italian Ice and for a buck a box, I guess maybe I can splurge...
