Olive Oil Ice Cream Recipe 1

I love the taste of lemons. I have always been a fan of the tangy sour explosion when you add zest to a recipe. If you would have looked in my refrigerator at almost anytime, you would have found either a 1/2 of a lemon wrapped in plastic wrap or a whole one without most of its skin. Now that I have become a Good Cook Kitchen Expert, I get samples of neat items that Good Cook has to offer. This round featured their line of produce keepers. You can find a produce keeper for almost anything or use the ones they do have as multi-veggie keeper capable (Hey marketing – I am coining a phrase!) So naturally, the Citrus Keeper comes in handy for me, and is already in use constantly. I use it for lemons, limes, and any left over fruits and veggies that I have after making a salad, omelet, etc.  I used the Citrus Keeper when I made this Lemon Cherry Olive Oil Ice Cream Recipe after I zested a lemon, and only used half for the finishing garnish.

I love the chia seed addition too! I get my Chia Seeds from Health Warrior.

Other handy keepers that work great for half eaten veggies and fruit are the Green Pepper Keeper, Tomato Keeper, and the Asparagus Keeper. I just can’t stand keeping a 1/2 melon in the fridge, but I don’t want to take the time to cut it up in put in a smaller container. That is where a Cantaloupe Keeper comes in hand. Only want a half of a grapefruit in the morning for breakfast? Try the Grapefruit Keeper. Your kid only eats half of his banana? You need a Banana Keeper!

  15. Why do you say 4 U.S. winners but in the service agreement it says Canadians are included?
    You need to make your giveaways more understandable.

  25. I came to check out the lemon ice cream recipe. It looks good although I cannot imagine olive oil in ice cream. Do you use an extra light olive oil or just whatever is on hand?

    I do not like Pinterest and pinning is a royal pain. I do not get to enter the contest either.

    • Here is to the three commenters above, Having followers on FB and Twitter and Pinterest, etc. is how Bloggers can do giveaways. They need the followers so companies would want to give these products away for advertisement reasons. The more followers the bigger the prizes.

  36. I agree—pinning ot tweeting should not be one of the first entries that block everything else–guess I am out on this one
