Fresh and creamy strawberry ice cream is sprinkled throughout with Nerds candy to create this super fun Nerds Ice Cream, it’s a completely irresistible kid and adult favorite.

When I stumbled on a question regarding Nerds ice cream a while back, I was immediately intrigued. Nerds candy? I don’t think I’d eaten any Nerds since middle school – at least not that I can recall. Well, I’m happy to tell you that I’m once again hooked on these crunchy, sweet and tart candies. I can’t stop snacking on them now!

And if you also haven’t had Nerds candy since you were a kid, it’s time to change that. (Also – do not buy it from that link, I’m providing it only for the visual aide. Just pick up a box of the candy for a dollar from the grocery store.)

Apparently, there used to be a grape-flavored ice cream with Nerds candy in it. Side note – it turns out that there’s some debate on what the ice cream flavor actually was, but the ice cream was a deep purple-blue color.

So, I tried a couple of different ideas for grape ice cream and well, let’s just say that you can be grateful I’m sparing you that. If I ever nail that one down, I’ll let you know.

Nerds Ice Cream

I then tried adding Nerds candy to a batch of the best ever vanilla ice cream. That was tasty and my husband and the boys enjoyed it. But it wasn’t “wow-ing” me.

Last, I decided to add some Nerds to a batch of old-fashioned strawberry ice cream. Oh. My. Word. What an awesome combination this turned out to be!

With bright and fresh strawberry flavor churned into the ice cream, it’s a perfect match to the strawberry flavor of Nerds candy. I found myself returning to the freezer repeatedly after I made this batch of ice cream – just to “test” the flavor once more.

This ice cream is as easy to make as it could possibly be. You’ll just blend the strawberries, sugar, salt, vanilla, milk, and cream together until smooth and then pour the mixture into the ice

Peach season is one of my favorites! A fresh juicy peach just does my heart happy! Fresh peaches are one of the best parts about a cobbler in my opinion. What is your favorite part about a cobbler? It’s funny because in a fruit pie, I’m all about the crust, but in a cobbler, I just love the fruit!

I grew up on a very simple cake mix peach cobbler which was almost always made in a dutch oven while camping. But this old fashioned Southern peach cobbler might just beat it out for the best peach cobbler recipe.

That’s right cream cheese jalapeno peppers, you’ve got competition. Bring it! Or don’t because I totally don’t think there’s an actual winner since they are different, but this is my personal favorite for all summer long. I hope that by the end of the post I will have you convinced that this really is the best grilled stuffed pepper recipe.

Making This Recipe

First thing first, this recipe is one that my sweet brother in law, Jake taught Cade years ago and Cade actually had to beg me to try. If you’ve been reading this blog for a while you may have noticed that there aren’t really any spicy recipes on here. Yup, I’m a wimp. I don’t enjoy spicy. If it has great flavor I can kind of understand but I still don’t enjoy it. Well, Cade and I had just had our first baby and within a week we were on our way to California to do summer sales.

It was horrible and such a long drive. And don’t worry, we had to take both our cars so I drove one and my sweet husband drove the other. For anyone that has just had a baby, just think about driving from Utah to San Diego with a newborn you were trying to nurse for the first time ever, not to mention one you had just given birth to. Yup!

Anyway, that’s where Cade had to beg me to try these cheesy stuffed peppers which he promised would not be spicy. In fact, they are really yummy and we all know that queso fresco cheese is my favorite. The biggest thing to remember is that the seeds hold the spice which means you want to pull them out but also it can burn your fingers so use plastic gloves or be careful and use a paring knife to get them out. But truly, if I love them, you for sure will. And they are so easy for summer grilling which is awesome.

Sweet berries, spicy jalapenos, onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime combine to make this strawberry salsa. This comes together in about 15 minutes and the salsa disappears almost faster than that every single time I make it.

Strawberry Salsa

You may be wondering what you serve this with. The truth is that we usually descend on a bowl of this and it never gets eaten with anything other than a handful of tortilla chips.

Each time I make it, I think that strawberry salsa would be awesome on chicken or fish. However, it has never lasted long enough for me to actually test that. Somebody let me know if you try it.

Between this salsa and my pineapple salsa, I just can’t stop making fruit salsas this summer! They’re hard to resist and there’s no good reason to resist them, anyway; they’re great for you!

Strawberry Jalapeno Salsa

To whip up this fantastic fruit salsa, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• strawberries
• jalapenos
• green onions
• cilantro
• limes
• salt
• pepper

Grilled Chicken Avocado Sandwich with Spicy Mayo

I adore this Grilled Chicken Avocado Sandwich Recipe. They are so simple, but completely delicious. I hate spicy, but for some reason I love the kick of cayenne in the spicy mayo with the cool avocado and flaky, buttery, amazingly delish puff pastry. It’s pretty much perfection.

Watch How to Make a Chicken Avocado Sandwich

The first time I had this recipe I knew it looked good, but it seemed a tad odd to use puff pastry for a sandwich. I am forever converted. You truly must try it yourself to understand, but it’s quite amazing.

Have you ever even had Puff pastry? It’s purdy darn delicious. We don’t make our own. We let the professionals handle it, and Pepperidge Farm does it so well! They make a fantastic puff pastry, and so I stick with them.

This recipe is adapted from Giada De Laurentiis, so unfortunately I cannot take the credit, but I’m all about sharing recipes that are delicious even if I didn’t think it up myself. We had already been inspired by a sandwich and had puff pastry lying around so when I saw her show making something similar I had to pounce!

Ingredients for Grilled Chicken Avocado Sandwich Recipe

It really doesn’t take many ingredients at all to make these grilled chicken sandwiches, so let’s run through everything you’ll need:

• Puff Pastry: You can find puff pastry in the freezer section of the grocery store by pie crusts.
• Chicken Breasts: boneless and skinless
• Montreal Chicken Seasoning: a blend of spices and herbs like garlic, onion, salt, paprika, orange peel, and bell pepper
• Kosher Salt: adds flavor
• Olive Oil: helps grill the chicken
• Mayonnaise: whatever your favorite brand is
• Cayenne Pepper: adds some heat to the mayo spread
• Baby Spinach: adds freshness
