the grocery store, I saw some candy cane ice cream and thought that it would be a great dessert idea for Christmas dinner. &nbsp;We can't forget dessert! &nbsp;</span><div><span

&nbsp;Usually, we put them on the tree. &nbsp;Yes, I am one of those moms that do not let their kids eat candy yet. &nbsp;By all means, we do eat junk food: &nbsp;chips, cake, cookies, ice cream, pastries, sweets, etc. &nbsp;I thought that having candy cane ice cream is a nice treat so they can have their Christmas candy canes, but in </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:

Cream</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">&nbsp;as a starting point for my candy cane ice cream. &nbsp;Instead of Oreo cookie chunks, I used crushed candy canes. &nbsp;I used a combination of green/red candy canes (raspberry flavoured) and some regular mini ones. &nbsp;In total, I had 4 Tbsp of finely crushed candy canes. &nbsp;I had the girls break the candy canes up and put it in a zipped sandwich bag. &nbsp;I crushed them with the flat side of my meat tenderizer/hammer on a cutting board on the floor. &nbsp;It was so much fun!&nbsp;</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times

Usually, we had the classic stir-fried vegetables with slices of meat and lots of fluffy white rice.&nbsp; If we were lucky, we had ice cream for dessert.&nbsp; How much we looked forward to hauling out that 4L/gallon bucket of Neapolitan (strawberry/vanilla/chocolate) ice cream!</span><br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I guess I got tired of Asian food and wanted branch out.&nbsp; Rhubarb is not what we ate growing up.&nbsp; I have two rhubarb plants in my garden and this season, I have harvested and frozen enough to last the year!&nbsp; It's mid-August and in my rural BC town, my rhubarb plants are still producing!&nbsp; After playing around with <a href="http://inmahkitchen.blogspot.ca/2012/08/strawberry-rhubarb-pie.html" target="_blank">Strawberry Rhubarb pie</a>, I wanted to try a lower sugar version of Strawberry Rhubarb crisp. &nbsp;&nbsp; </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div id="ingredients" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There are so many recipes out there but I wanted something super easy and not loaded with too much sugar and fat.&nbsp; Of course, if you want to add more sugar and butter, be my guest!<br /><br /></div><div id="ingredients" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></div><div id="ingredients" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PI43OpNgGCk/UC7X7VLBBlI/AAAAAAAAEP8/9d0WOi9ttDA/s1600/DSC_7526.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PI43OpNgGCk/UC7X7VLBBlI/AAAAAAAAEP8/9d0WOi9ttDA/s640/DSC_7526.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />This basic recipe uses whole wheat flour and half the amount of sugar compared to conventional recipes.&nbsp; It got rave reviews in our household!&nbsp; The kiddies wanted it for breakfast the next day.&nbsp; I was worried that it would be too sour, but it wasn't for us.&nbsp; Our strawberries were sweet, so that helped.&nbsp; <br /><br />For fun, I also made this gluten-free with great results.&nbsp; Oats can be contaminated with gluten during processing, so if you are serving oats to guests who are gluten-sensitive, make sure they are certified gluten-free on the package.&nbsp; <br /><br />Instead of using whole wheat flour to thicken the filling, I mixed in chia seeds and arrowroot starch.&nbsp; I bought a few scoops of chia seeds from the bulk organic section my grocery store to try.&nbsp; Apparently, it has great thickening properties, extra fibre, and plant omega-3s, like flaxseed, according to <a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/ask-a-health-expert/are-flaxseed-or-chia-seeds-better-for-me/article4371817/" target="_blank">the Globe and Mail</a>. &nbsp; I like to try different kinds of food... sometimes it's healthy...sometimes not!&nbsp; <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jdurJrX0Tt0/UC7ZRuW17FI/AAAAAAAAEQQ/SkqqpS4Jgdg/s1600/DSC_7537.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

The chia seeds swell up, like tiny tapioca pearls.&nbsp; They absorb the extra liquid and I don't notice a difference in taste.&nbsp; <br /><br />Next time, I will try using quinoa flakes in place of the rolled oats.&nbsp; With these substitutions, this has been very forgiving recipe with whatever ingredients on-hand!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7-Jo9pi2CgI/UC7d6DFeT_I/AAAAAAAAERI/3nf5Dv_nj0o/s1600/DSC_7533.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

It is a Cuisinart ICE-30 stainless steel model that I got from Costco in Richmond about 5 years ago for $59!&nbsp;&nbsp; It was an easy decision as the ice cream maker attachment for my KitchenAid mixer was $120 at the time.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's very easy to use.&nbsp; Pre-freeze the canister overnight (I keep it always frozen in the freezer).&nbsp; Place the frozen canister back into the machine and pour the ice cream base into it.&nbsp; Turn it on and leave it running for 20-25 minutes.&nbsp; At the end of that time, the ice cream will have the consistency of soft-serve.&nbsp; I transfer it to some plastic containers and freeze for a few hours or overnight for hard ice-cream. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Over the years, I have been searching for a good vanilla ice cream base:&nbsp; one that will be really good with different combinations of yummy additions, like pieces of kit-kats, coffee crisp, oreo cookies... well, you can see the possibilities are endless!&nbsp; I have tried many versions of custard (cook) and non-custard (no-cook) ice cream bases, but I found Ben &amp; Jerry's version the easiest and simplest.&nbsp; The list of ingredients is very basic and yet it produces an amazing product.&nbsp; </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Yes, it calls for raw eggs, but I get around this by using pasteurized liquid eggs. </span><br /><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I prefer the use of eggs in ice cream for that smooth velvety texture and mouthfeel.&nbsp; There is so much chemistry and factors involved in making ice cream but I think Ben &amp; Jerry have a pretty good idea about what they are doing!&nbsp; Knowing what I put in the ice cream makes it all worthwhile.&nbsp; Yes, I do buy ice cream on sale, but it's fun to also make your own.</div><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ben &amp; Jerry's brand is associated with expensive, premium ice cream.&nbsp; $7 for a pint (2 cups) of ice cream is pretty expensive, so I don't bother buying it.&nbsp; When I discovered the </span><a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Jerrys-Homemade-Cream-Dessert-Book/dp/0894803123" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" target="_blank">Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream cookbook</a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> on Amazon.ca with glowing reviews, I knew that I had to have it.&nbsp; It's not a very detailed book, but rather, it's a fun and simple cookbook with cute, cartoony pictures.&nbsp; </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">By my rough calculations, a pint of my own homemade Ben &amp; Jerry's ice cream costs under $2.50!</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IvekZnD4aZo/T2TsprjhzcI/AAAAAAAADg8/ioN9i7BsK2E/s1600/DSC_4957.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
