A year later, we all gathered together again to celebrate his 9th birthday. And boy do we have a lot to celebrate. From the drastic life change of Bradley going on a feeding tube and having almost every food taken away to having an amazing year of health and healing. He gained 9 pounds in the year and grew 2 inches. Something he hasn't done since he was a baby.
But cake is still not on the list of foods. So what do you do to celebrate a birthday?
You make homemade ice cream using a small spring pan and add a few candles. It may not seem like much, but when it turns into an ice cream party for all, you get a celebration where the birthday boy isn't left out.

Check out that face! Loving his chocolate ice cream with blueberries, pure chocolate syrup, and Enjoy Life Foods chocolate chunks.
Through the years, I've had to get creative on the foods I make for my children. From learning how to make eggless cakes that are tasty, moist, and don't fall apart to learning how to make lollipops and hard candy without corn syrup to homemade marshmallows without the corn syrup to homemade ice cream made from rice milk. The internet has been my friend in finding recipes, but even then it takes some know how in the kitchen to adjust even the recipes found online.
Thankful God gave me the ability to cook and for all the blessings of this past year.
Bradley Safe Ice Cream Recipe:
~about a cup of sugar
~3 cups rice milk
~dash of vanilla
~1-2 tbsp flax meal
and then flavor it.....
Strawberry.....add fresh strawberries until it looks about right
Blueberry......add fresh blueberries until it looks about right
Cherries........add fresh pitted cherries until it looks about right
Chocolate.....2-3 tbsp cocoa
Blend everything together in a blender. Taste, you want it to be super sweet because it will lose some sweetness in the freezing process. Pour in to a bowl and place in the freezer. Stir every 30-45 minutes. Takes about 3 hours.
