Hey, y’all! The Cuisinart ice cream maker giveaway is officially over, and the winner is…*drumroll*…Karen H.! Thanks to everyone who entered! I was blown away by the response to this giveaway, and I was so sad that I only had one ice cream maker to give away! I’ll have to do another ice cream maker giveaway at some point. If you didn’t win and would like to purchase an ice cream maker like mine, this is the one I have. I’ve been really happy with it so far (and I’ve had it for awhile now). Need ice cream recipes? You know I’ve got you covered with my ice cream index right here.
Would you like another chance to win an ice cream maker? I’ll let a little information slip here – the admins in the THM Blogger Test Kitchen (Unofficial) Facebook group are pooling their resources to provide the members of that Facebook group with an opportunity to win not just an ice cream maker, but some other ice cream related paraphernalia as well! If you’re not already a member of the group, go check it out and join so you can enter the ice cream maker giveaway in a week or two! We try to have giveaways every month, and we thought that an ice cream maker would be perfect for the beginning of summer. May’s Mother’s Day giveaway was an Instant Pot, and I’m in charge of July’s giveaway but haven’t decided what it will be yet. Any ideas? Let me know in the comments below!
Thank you all so much for the wonderful suggestions regarding my cookbook! I jotted down some of your good ideas, and a lot of what you mentioned was already in the plans, so that was cool! Here are some things that my cookbook will definitely include:
- a wide variety of recipes, including lots of entrée recipes
- lots of pictures
- multiple indices for easy searching (I am a very organization-oriented person – and I actually have OCD – so indices are very important to me as well!)
- spiral binding
- tried and true family favorites
- ice cream!!
I am wrapping up the recipe testing on this book, and I hope to have the cookbook available for preorder in late summer (and ready for distribution before the holiday season is upon us). If you’d like to know when it’s available, be sure to sign up to my blog via email. You can do this in the sidebar to your right if you’re on a computer or down at the bottom of the page if you’re on mobile. If for some reason you don’t want to sign up for all my posts via email but you would like to just sign up for an update about the cookbook, comment on this post and let me know and I’ll put you on the list! (There’s no need to put your email address in the comment itself, just in the blank that asks for it.)
Once again, thank you all so much for your continual support and encouragement. I wouldn’t want to do this without you!

I thought I remember seeing a kitchenaid ice cream attachment in one of your ice cream photos… am I mistaken? I was considering buying one but can’t decide between kitchenaid and cuisnart. On another note I have wondered many times as I do THM why the blender stick is only mentioned a few times in recipes. I use mine a lot for mayo and smoothies, puddings etc. I would recommend doing a blender stick giveaway!
Briana Thomas says
That’s a great idea for the giveaway! I’ll jot it down. Thank you!
I do not have a Kitchenaid ice cream attachment, but I have heard that they work well.

Congrats to Karen!!!!
Karen says
Well, congrats to the Karen! Sorry it wasn’t this Karen! I might just buy one for myself anyway. Do you have a link I could click on so you’d get credit for my purchase?

I can hardly wait for your cookbook. After I converted to THM, I threw away nearly all my other cookbooks. My shelf is a little bare! lol hehehehehehehe
Ronda Bowman says
Multiple indices and spiral binding–YES. I am happy! I also forgot to say that I love the fact that the sisters’ cookbook is geared toward larger families. My family is down to five now and will probably shrink more, but I still love big recipes. Leftovers are wonderful! 🙂 Just another thought.
Briana Thomas says
We are a family of 6 and I happen to love leftovers to, so most of the entrees feed 8-10 or more. 🙂
Karen Mertes says
Do you know yet what the cost of the cookbook will be? I am excited to have it.
Briana Thomas says
No, that hasn’t been decided yet, but I plan to give a preorder discount. 🙂
Bethany says
SOOOOO glad that it’s spiral bound!!!!! Thanks for all your doing – keep it yp! 🙂
Ann says
Yes! Agreed! Spiral cookbooks are the best!

Do you know if your ice cream recipes will work in a old fashioned type ice cream maker? That is the kind we have and can’t justify buying the counter top kind.
Briana Thomas says
They should work, but since these recipes are for a 1 1/2 qt. machine you should probably triple or quadruple the batch to fill up your old-fashioned ice cream maker.
