June: National Dairy Month

June 14, 2016

hey all!

so did you know that june is national dairy month? well i didn’t until a few days ago.

strange it seems, well why june? i have no idea! but i have a very interesting relationship with dairy…

now, i will tell you something , i am an (self proclaimed) ice cream expert who is lactose intolerant. NOW THIS IS AN OXYMORON, how can i love ice cream and not be able to digest it (i have no idea) there is something called self control (which i don’t have) but i have learned to suffer the consequences and just not care!

so in honor of national dairy month, i will  be sharing 5 lactose free ice cream or sorbets, lets get started:

#1: Clean Eating Pineapple Dole Whip:

have you ever been to disneyland or the dole plantation and had one of these beauties? well its basically magical pineapple frozen yogurt (WITH NO DAIRY!) one of the favorites things that i can make at home (easy usually takes about 5 minutes or so) and is so natural!

i especially like this recipe for dole whips from Dashing Dish

#2: Peach Sorbet:

i love the taste of peach, like what is better than that! well in this dairy free number from Martha Stewart, you get the magnificent taste of this fruit without the consequences of regular dairy peach ice cream!

this recipe is so fresh (and so easy) and is sure to make your taste buds sing!

#3: Melon Sorbet:

this is not the traditional watermelon sorbet, but this looks great (seeing as i haven’t tasted it YET) the best trick about this recipe from A Beautiful Mess, is that no machine is necessary which means you don’t have to buy another appliance just to make ice cream!

#4: Sorbet WITH ANY FRUIT!!!:

this recipe made me so excited when i first tried it, i mean i am naturally a fruit-y flavor kind of girl rather than tradition flavors. my family and i love this recipe base, and we have made it with Roasted Apricots and Watermelons. AND LET ME JUST TELL YOU, the roasted apricot sorbet that my family makes is the absolute BOMB, and i might just be willing to share the recipe soon!

this is a great base from The Kitchn

#5: 5-Minute Healthy Strawberry Frozen Yogurt:

you may have seen this on pinterest before, seeing as it comes up on my feed all the time, but this looks great! i have yet to try this but it seems very simple (and honestly VERY delicious) and i know i know, this recipe has yogurt in it, but i do as i would do anywhere else, just modify get lactose free yogurt and i am sure this will be just as good!

anyway! i hope y’all are having a great day!

its finally summer! and i am an upperclassman!!!

so i was thinking, oh my gosh, its june already, so i remembered that i had to set my monthly intention, and here it is…

i hope this june is

unforgettable

i picked the word unforgettable because i hope my summer is unforgettable. this summer i plan on getting my license and being able to drive any place i want (with my parents permission of course!) also its my sister’s last summer before college so i hope that we have some unforgettable experiences! and friends of course, spending more time creating those moments that we love to have together. according to google, unforgettable is an adjective meaningĀ impossible to forget; very memorable

how will i try to be more ‘unforgettable’ this summer?

this month i plan on having fun in my break by doing the things that i love with the people that i love, and by this i will be developing myself more and my own voice will be able to shine as an unforgettable force.

well i hope y’all enjoyed! have a happy thursday and a great start of june!

1. But First Coffee Clutch Bag -$18: This is just such a cute little clutch. I LOVE the print. Its such a cute size and just a simple cute little bag!

2. Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan -$9.49: I enjoy this book alot. I recommend it to any one who wants a good read, but it definitely takes time, especially if you are a slow reader.

3. Vineyard Vines Golf Balls -$62: I have been looking for new golf balls for awhile. These are just so cute! I love the way they play with, considering I’ve only placed like twice with these new ones, and it takes me awhile to get used to new ones.

4. KJP Breakfast at Tiffany’s Bracelet -$68: For awhile I had been seeing these bracelets everywhere, and I had no idea that these were KJP! I think these are so cute, expecially the one with Tiffany blue.

5. VS Pink Ultimate Half Zip -$59: These are the best half zips ever! I love bringing these to the beach because it gets cold at night, and these are really nice to wear.

hope you guys enjoy this, and if you like any of these things please comment.
