Be Ice Cream or be Nothing Homemade Ice Cream inspired by unique ideas and people. Using the Cuisinart Ice 30 Ice Cream maker I'll show you how to make your own ice cream in minutes!

Inspired by NBC's Parks & Recreation character Ron Swanson, Be Ice Cream or be Nothing was created for one reason and that is to make very good ice cream. Ice Cream has always been important to me. Growing up in Queensbury, NY there was never a shortage local Ice Cream shoppes. From Stewart's to Martha's Dandee Creme to Hillbilly Fun Park I have such a fondness for memories that were created with

friends and family while getting down on some Fireworks Ice Cream or Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Had a good game? Let's get some ice cream! Going to the lake? Got your heart broken? Let's definitely go get some ice cream! Using my Cuisinart Ice-30BC I'll show you how simple it is to make incredible ice cream. We're talking under 45 minutes between "you know, I could go for some ice cream" to "this is some great ice cream!" Follow the page, share the page, and let me know what you think!

No matter where we are, we’re gonna celebrate National Ice Cream Day! 🍦

We’re out in Lake Geneva, WI and today we actually celebrated twice. We stopped by Gordy’s Surf Shack and grabbed some goodies lake side. Tonight after dinner, we stopped by Meggy Moo’s, a place I’ve wanted to try for years! I dipped my vanilla/chocolate twist in some sprinkles and we ate our ice cream in the yard next to the shop. Meggy Moo’s reminded me of some of my favorite places in Upstate NY so if you’re ever in the area, you’ve got to stop by 🍦

🍦What a ride, friends. For 8 years y’all have been by my side, literally through my journey to becoming a dad, our small business partnership with Journey, our appearance on Ellen’s Game of Games, and our first book. Every day, I have been overwhelmed with your support and joy you’ve shown our family.

I wanted to take this time to say thank you. You’ve all helped make my dreams come true and for that, I’m beyond grateful.

Ultimately, you’ll still be able to support me because I’ve been working on new merch, upgrading the website, new recipes, and new videos! What a ride it’s been, and it’s about to get a whole lot nicer!

Oh, did it look like I was saying goodbye? No way, I’m just waving hello! 👋🏾 Isn’t this the hello emoji?

😉

Y’all know it’s April Fool’s, right? 🤣

Did you know our book is available on for free? Yup! I recorded a read-along for kids so whether they have the book or not, they can follow along with story, joining us as we travel the country looking for ice cream 🍦

Head to YouTube and search Is This Your Favorite Ice Cream? or search Be Ice Cream Or Be Nothing. The video is even available on YouTube Kids so you can search for it there as well.

And of course, if you’d like a copy of your book, head to Amazon and pick it up! Seeing this on your bookshelves and in pictures makes me so happy so as always, I couldn’t be more grateful ❤️
