While we love our sunny weather, it also means that allergies can be a VEAR-ROUND problem. Consider these strategies to help reduce bringing those pesky ALLERGY AGGRAVATORS into your home=

• Dress to Impress: Synthetic cloth actually attracts MORE pollen than natural fibers like cotton. Also, wearing sunglasses will do more than cut the glare - they actually help reduce the amount of pollen that reaches your eyes.

• Double Up: Doormats do more than welcome your guests - they also help remove pollen and other contaminants from your shoes. Putting a mat outside and another one inside will double their effectiveness.

• Take Off Those Shoes: Removing your shoes before entering your home will help reduce the number of contaminants you bring in with you.

• Shed Those Clothes: Pollen (and other nasty stuff) collects on your clothes as you go about your day. Changing your clothes as soon as you get home will help reduce transferring allergens to home furnishings.

Grape Nut Ice Cream

Charlene Ingerson

Ingredients

2 cups cold heavy whipping cream

14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk chilled 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1/2 tsp almond extract

1 C grape nuts

Instructions

Place the cold whipping cream in a large chilled bowl and using a mixer, beat on high until the cream forms soft peaks and stick to the beaters, about 3 minutes.

Add the cold sweetened condensed milk and beat just until stiff peaks form. Do not overbeat or the mixture will curdle.

Stir in extracts and grape nut until smooth and evenly distributed. Transfer to a freezer proof, airtight container and freeze overnight. Ice cream can be stored in the freezer for up to two weeks.

Substitutions: One teaspoon of vanilla extract won’t give you a strong vanilla flavor so feel free to increase it to one tablespoon if you want to ramp up the flavor. You can also swap in a different extract (e.g. mint (https://amzn.to/2LbWZwU), maple (https://amzn. to/2uI5GVu) or root beer (https://amzn.to/2uH7H4d)) to change the flavor. Under no circumstances should you substitute evaporated milk for sweetened condensed milk!

No Churn Sweet Corn Ice Cream

By Scott Immel, Manor 2076 Trivia Quizmaster

Inspired by Brazilian Beaches, vendors bring these sweet, amazing treats to you while enjoying the relaxed warm Brazilian lifestyle. Feels like summer!

Ingredients

3 Ears of Corn (husked)

2.5 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream

One 14 ounce Can Sweetened Condensed Milk

1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Pinch Salt

Instructions

With a serrated knife, take all the corn off of all three uncooked corn cobs. (TIP) Use a Bundt cake pan and place the cob in the center to gather all the corn kernels!

Add the corn kernels, cobs, and 2 cups heavy cream to a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Remove the cobs with tongs.

Using a fine mesh sieve, strain out the kernels from the cream. Chill the cream for a couple of hours until it is cold.

Whip the corn-infused cream until it thickens. It takes a while, but this mixture will turn into corn flavored whipped cream!

To lighten up the mixture, keep the extra 1/2 c. of unsweetened whipped cream in a separate bowl, whip the 1/2 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

Pour the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and pinch of salt into a large mixing bowl. Gently fold the corn flavored cream and the stiff whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture.

Pour into a 9x5 baking pan. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Scoop and serve. ENJOY!
