Memorial Day weekend holds a special spot in my heart. It marked the weekend when my swim team pool in Cary, North Carolina would open for the summer and life was all-of-a-sudden one hundred percent better. Summertime meant swim meets, road trips, summer camp, campfires, BBQ, ice cream cones, amusement parks, and magical twinkly lightning bugs.
I believe that summertime is a mixture of memories and anticipation.
And happy times.
I believe that ice cream tastes like summer memories and anticipation.
And happy times.
I have free ice cream for you. Free Hiland Ice Cream, which is made with fresh milk and cream from local dairy farms with no antibiotics or artificial growth hormones. This isn’t a serious ooo-I-can-only-afford-to-give-you-one-scoop-of-this-fancy-smancy-ice-cream ice cream. This ice cream is for large crowds of happy people who want to finish the container.
They have a new feature flavor called Outlaw Run. It is crammed full of chocolate chunks and swirls of sea salted caramel in rich vanilla. The taste makes me want to go for a ride with the windows down and do that hand wavy thing as I take a leisurely going-nowhere-in-particular drive.
Why did they name this flavor Outlaw Run? To celebrate the newest $10 million dollar attraction at Silver Dollar City, the world’s only wooden roller coaster to twist upside down three times. Since Branson is just a short drive away from Northwest Arkansas, I am sure many of you have this on your summer to-do list. Now you have the ice cream to enjoy on the ride.

No purchase necessary to enter. Contest void where prohibited. Contest open to members who are 18 years or older. Contest open only to US residents only. Honestly, if you want Hiland Ice Cream, you’re going to have to live in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma in order to buy it… or know someone who lives here. Figured you would want to know that.

Vanilla ice cream with fresh berries!
Tara, you better have some of that today or it will overtake all of your thoughts!
Yaaaaayyyyyyy!!!!! There's nothing better than ice cream. I mean, it comes in so many flavors you could almost live on it! Thanks Lyndi!!!
You're welcome!!! Send me your address, okay? nwafoodie@gmail.com or via twitter DM at @nwafoodie!
Congrats!!
I like Nectarines and summer fruit. This is a great time of year for fruit salad. I once used to get friends together for breakfast and tell everyone to bring one kind of fruit. We would combine them all and divide it up among ourselves. Yum.
That is a fabulous idea! I want to do that for a dinner dessert… I'll bring the whip cream and ice cream. Thanks Elizabeth!
Strawberries, for sure.
For sure. Totally. Do you like your strawberries best whole, sliced, or mashed?
My favorite "taste" of summer is fresh peach cobbler!
My husband's favorite, too! Which reminds me…
I love coconut as a summer taste! I hope I win the silver dollar city prize! Richie and I were just commenting about how it has been about 8 years since we have been there!
Make sure you follow that link to enter the Silver Dollar City contest. The odds are 1/5,000 which seem like pretty good odds to me.
Have you had coconut chicken? I'm craving now.
Ice cream for me, too. Oh, and beer. But not together. Wait. I may be on to something!
Oh Gina, that's hilarious. Next time I make ice cream… I totally want to experiment with beer. It's happening.
fresh peaches off the tree and ice cream (and beer!)
clearly there is an ice cream and beer theme going on here!
Ha! We're all ladies of good taste!
Right on!
Fresh ripe watermelon, dripping down your arms. Mmmmm. That's my healthy treat. Ice Cream – well, that's he sinful treat. Mmmmmmmm!
Yes!
I look forward to the first batch of fresh new potatoes cooked with homegrown yellow and green beans; with onion/garlic/maybe a piece of ham thrown in. These are all boiled together, drained and mixed together with a can of evaporated condensed milk and butter…..oh my, my mouth is so watering now…..come on summer!
Chocolate ice cream and peach mouse made with fresh peaches.
Please tell me you mean mousse instead of mouse! Our friendship may be at stake!!
🙂
That will teach me not to proof-read what I type!! Mousse it is!:-)
shew!
There's too many summer tastes to name! All the fruits… Fresh berries, watermelon, pineapple. Avocados! Love it all. : )
Oh yeah, you're speaking my language!
Holy smokes…I want an ice cream hangover! I have to say for summer flavors, it's anything warm from the garden. Sounds weird, but I am convinced that strawberries taste better when they are grown in our organic pasture and warmed by the sun. Also looking forward to trying peaches and apples from the trees on our new farm this year-looks like we are going to have a great crop this summer!

I want a peaches-and-apples-from-your-trees hangover!
Summer flavors are fabulous it means fresh picked strawberries and home churned vanilla ice cream. As the growing season proceeds then fresh picked peaches with home churned vanilla ice cream. You can never have too many of the wonder fruits of summer – blueberries and watermelon……
That's it…. I'm having a bowl of ice cream and berries.
