Thankful Thursday

Posted on by Sandee

It’s Thankful Thursday hosted by Brian of Brian’s Home. He wants us to post what we’re thankful for.

I think it’s a good thing to do each week. Focus on the positive things in our lives.

Make sure you link up to the Blog Hop at Brian’s Home and get the code to put on your blog. Then visit all the participants.

Of all the desserts out there, ice cream is my favorite. I like all the flavors and I crave ice cream year around. I especially love ice cream when it’s hot. It’s hot.

American ice cream company, Cold Stone Creamery has teamed up with Danone North America – a food and beverage company known for its plant-based products – to launch its first ever vegan ice cream. I’m going to give this a try.

    I will never turn down ice cream. My go to flavor is anything chocolate with peanut butter. Just plain chocolate will work too. Oh and maybe some chocolate syrup on top

    Yum! I eat ice-cream all year round too but it definitely tastes that much better in the warmer, sunnier weather.

    Happy Thursday, Sandee! xx

    Mom always loved ice cream but now with her new eating style stuff like that is off the menu. Food isn’t fun anymore but if it helps her stay healthy and avoid taking so many medications, she says it is worth it.

    So do we have to go to stone cold creamery to get this, or is it available in stores, and if so, under what brand name? We would like to try it to, since the hubby has dairy allergies!

    while I like ice cream it is one of the only sweet treats that can sit in the freezer a long time and I won’t touch it! Don’t know why! I’m thankful for A/C, it’s HOT here in Michigan as it is throughout most of the country! xoxo

    I love Vegan ice-creams. We have few fabulous options here too. I was vegan for about a year and I loved experimenting with the flavours.

    Maybe someday I’ll go back to being vegetarian again if not 100% vegan. 🙂

    I’m thankful for precious people like you Sandee on blogosphere and for my Dad’s cataract surgery going off well, this week.
    Big hugs.
