Does your family have traditions that aren’t tied to specific holidays or events? Someone asked me this question not too long ago, and I thought about our summer road trips and german pancake breakfasts. Then I thought about when I was growing up and realized one of our “traditions” from my youth was ice cream and family movie night!
My parents did not subscribe to a television service, so the only tv we watched was movies. And movies always meant ice cream. In fact, almost everything meant ice cream. Ice cream was a pretty regular part of my life as a kid. I remember a neighbor joking that it was our family’s version of beer. In his family they would all sit down and have a beer after dinner, and in ours, we had a bowl of ice cream. And weekends was ice cream sundaes and movie nights.
Some things never change, I still associate ice cream with movie nights.
We try to hold a regular family movie night, but with differing cinematic tastes and busy schedules it can get tricky. However, as you know, I am a big fan of Walmart Family Mobile, and while I love my Samsung Galaxy S5 for how great the camera on it is, and how easy it is to navigate, I also love the service plan. The Walmart Family Mobile PLUS Plan = Unlimited Talk, Text, & Data which includes up to 10GB of 4G LTE plus a free movie on VUDU every month ($7 value) per line for $49.88.
You can stream a new release movies on your smart TV or through a Roku or other such device, which is awesome. And because it includes a free movie once a month my movie night dilemmas are solved. I can’t complain about the money I wasted if the movie isn’t to my liking. I don’t have to hope I can find the movie. And since it is something we stream, I don’t have to find time to run out and pick a movie. And since it is one free movie per month it helps us keep our traditions alive and thriving.
And speaking of traditions, there is ice cream! Now, once a month I try to plan a fun ice cream treat to go with the movie. I am not always great at it, and sometimes it is just scoops of ice cream and all you can pour (before mom grabs it away) sprinkles. But this month I thought it would be fun to make something extra special.
I was shopping and saw Cookie Butter on sale for $1 a jar! I am obsessed with cookie butter, have been ever since I was in Belgium and had it on a waffle. Can’t. Get. Enough. So I bought all the jars on the shelf.
My kids and I were waxing on and on about how much we love cookie butter, and my son said how much he wished we could find cookie butter flavored ice cream. So I knew I had to do something cookie butter for our next family movie night ice cream treat.
This ice cream cake has cookie butter ice cream, a crunchy cookie butter center layer, and a hard shell cookie butter topping! And it rocks. Plus it literally only takes about 10-15 minutes to put it together, so it is one of those treats that looks super impressive, but is actually really easy.
Try it! I think you will find that it is just the rich, delicious, indulgence you would expect from something with cookie butter.
