If you don’t have an ice cream maker, don’t worry. This classic trick of making ice cream in a bag uses items almost everyone has in their pantry. For butter pecan flavor, simply replace the two tablespoons of white sugar with brown sugar, add a tablespoon of cooled melted butter, and ⅓ cup of chopped pecans. Then make as directed. Kids especially love making ice cream in a bag.

If you’re planning on firing up the grill this summer, don’t forget dessert. These simple hand pies are grilled instead of baked, keeping your house cool but you cookout guests excited. You can even batch make them ahead of time, store in the freezer, and bring them out whenever you’re ready to BBQ. They’re a great option for summer desserts.
