This might be the last chance you get this season to make some Snow Ice Cream! Since the kids are out of school today, this would be a great activity for them to use up some of their spare time. I don't have the proper ingredients here in Florida for testing these recipes, so I'm leaving it up to all of you "snowbirds" to try them and let me know how they turn out.
Some of you might have seen this recipe before from Paula Deen on Food Network, but I thought it was worth mentioning again on a day like today.
8 cups snow, or shaved ice
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Place snow or shaved ice into a large bowl. Pour condensed milk over and add vanilla. Mix to combine. Serve immediately in bowls.
This recipe I found over at Beliefnet.com from Valerie Reiss.
It sounds delish, Valerie!
2-3 cups clean snow (I skimmed off the top of my freshly snowed fire escape)
2 TBs half-and-half
1 TB maple syrup
1 TB cocoa powder
1 dash pure vanilla
Add ingredients to medium-small bowl, smoosh with a spoon, serve and enjoy! Serves one or two depending on appetite.
Enjoy your snow day, kids!

Depression Cooking with Clara
I don't know how many of you have seen the 93 year old great-grandmother who has her own online cooking show on YouTube. She is so adorable! I can't help but think of my grandmother while watching her cook and listening to the stories of her childhood.
Clara Cannucciari grew up in Chicago during the Great Depression. She learned how to cook from her mother who, like everyone else at that time, had very little food to feed their families, often having to ration what they had and very little, if any, money for the necessities of life. Clara shows us in her videos the recipes she learned from her mother and how to make the most of what you've got. Through her stories, she makes you realize just how fortunate we really are, even in light of our economic situation today.
Along with her grandson, Christopher Cannucciari, not only does Clara make her cooking videos, she will also have a DVD out soon with all the episodes from her first series. She is also working on a cookbook which will contain all of her recipes from the series and more. Visit her website at Great Depression Cooking for details and also links to all of her cooking videos.
Clara, with all of her wisdom and energy, is truly an inspiration.
