Easy mountain cooking

This is my last post about the mountains...I think!

I wanted to share some of our time cooking.

We made Madeleines...

And oyster crackers...

And we made lemon ice cream and artichoke dip. Since these two are so easy, I thought you might like to have the recipe as well. 

First for the lemon ice cream. 

Combine 2 cups of whipping cream and 1/2 cup sugar. Stir with wisk to dissolve sugar. Add 1/3 cup lemon juice and some lemon zest if you like. 

Pour into ramekins and freeze for several hours. Take out of freezer 15 minutes before serving. 

After we put the ramekins in the freezer, I opted to lick the bowl and spoon. When are you too old for that?

When ready to serve, garnish with whipped cream and a pirouette.

Or like we do in the summer months, you can garnish with fresh berries or mint sprigs. 

Now for the artichoke dip. So good and so easy. 

Dice one can of artichokes. Add mayo to fit your desire, maybe 1/2 cup. Add Italian seasoning to your liking. We used the entire package. 

Serve with bagel chips. 

Bon appetit!

How about that for easy!
