Buttery Brown Sugar Ice Cream with Roasted Cherries || HeathersDish.com

Don’t you like how I followed up a post about living healthfully with a post about ice cream? As much as I’d like to blame that one on balance, it’s really more about how we’re living it up/finishing up non-Whole30 approved food in our house before we actually start a Whole30 challenge in August.

 

And this ice cream? It’s sooooooooo not Whole30 approved.

 

I’ve been reading It Starts With Food and can honestly say that I’m STOKED about doing this challenge with Nate (and whoever else wants to join), but I’m also not down with wasting food so we’re downing all the non-approved stuff before August 1. I’m interested to see how abstaining from sugar for a month will improve our quality of life!

 

But in the meantime? Let’s live it up!

 

This ice cream is seriously divine, and I feel like the cherries make it health food. Right? Right!

 

Y’all enjoy!

BUTTERY BROWN SUGAR ICE CREAM WITH ROASTED CHERRIES

Ingredients:

  • 8 tablespoons butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1-1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon almond extract (optional but SO GOOD)
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups pitted fresh cherries

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400.
  2. Place the cherries in a baking dish that has been very lightly buttered.
  3. Roast at 400 for 20-25 minutes until the juices have started to run.
  4. Let the cherries cool completely before adding to the ice cream.
  5. In a large pot, melt the butter.
  6. Remove from the heat.
  7. Add the brown sugar and whisk until the sugar has dissolved, about 1 minute.
  8. Add the heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract, almond extract and salt.
  9. Whisk until completely combined.
  10. Allow to cool completely before churning.
  11. When the base has cooled completely, pour it into your ice cream machine and churn according to machine directions until its about the consistency of soft serve ice cream.
  12. Gently fold the cherries into the ice cream.
  13. Pour into a loaf pan and press a piece of plastic wrap on top.
  14. Freeze until hard, about 3-4 hours.
  15. Enjoy!

    Brown sugar is not normally a flavor I think of when it comes to ice cream. But now it is and I want some!

Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! 

As we move into goal setting for the new year, may I suggest starting with your physical health? Not to fit the bikini body mold that society normalizes, but to actually BE as healthy as possible. When everything hit the fan for me this year I dug into two things that have been integral to creating positive growth and a healthier mindset: 

1️⃣ my relationship with God
2️⃣ my physical health

What that’s looked like for me on the health front: holding fast to my commitment to whole food nutrition, grace for the days when I choose otherwise, pushing myself to lift heavier in workouts, and taking up running again. 

What’s happened as a result? When I push myself physically, when I choose to practice discipline to do what I know is best for my body, it makes it infinitely easier to choose that same healthy discipline in every other area of life. You want to dominate your goals? Start with your health!
Remember when I blogged about food? 😂 Gosh the Remember when I blogged about  food? 😂 Gosh the past few months have been nuts. I’m still over here figuring out how to eat well without sacrificing my life in the kitchen, and this is a bowl I couldn’t NOT share with y’all. The best thing is that everything is almost always on hand in my fridge, it’s packed with nutrition, and tastes AMAZING!

In the bowl:
-rice mixed with Trader Joe’s Zhoug sauce
-broiled shredded Brussels sprouts
-chickpeas
-baby  arugula
-grilled chicken breast
-Romesco sauce (from Trader  Joe’s but I usually make my own)
-a little  tzaziki sauce

This meal has been on repeat all week, only changing the rice for riced cauliflower and omitting the chickpeas on low carb days. YUM! I find that if I have a variety of roasted veggies, grilled chicken, and a few different sauces on hand I can almost always come up with a great bowl for almost any meal!
It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday y’all! Almost 4 years ago I took a leap of faith and said yes to this job in an effort to create another stream of revenue. I had NO CLUE that it would change my life for the better in almost every way, that it would reignite my passion for health and community, that it would provide in so many beautiful ways. But it has, and I am so thankful to all of you who have trusted me and supported me along the way. 

When you shop with a small business you are literally a hero in their eyes, validating and supporting and protecting them. You guys are my heroes, and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day: 3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day:

1️⃣ SMILE! Even if you don’t feel like it, smiling (even forcing it to the point of feeling weird) has actually been scientifically proven to improve mood, lower stress, and boost your immune system. I actually recommend doing it awkwardly around other people because it’ll make them smile too 😉

2️⃣ GRATITUDE! Right now, before you talk yourself out of it, say or write 3 things you’re thankful for. Big, small, or in between. In this moment I’m going to say sticky notes, my Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and the Hamilton soundtrack. BOOM!

3️⃣MOVE! Get up off your tush, right now, and move your body. Walk around your house, do some jumping jacks, lock yourself in the bathroom and do a little dance, whatever. This isn’t about looking cool, it’s about giving yourself a better day. 

Things are hard, ambiguity and uncertainty isn’t fun, but we can control ONE THING: ourselves. Praying that you choose to gift yourself a little bit of happiness today! 

Now, tell me below, what’s one thing you’re thankful for RIGHT NOW?
