It’s July. The berries are everywhere and they’re in your ice cream!



LOOK GOOD IN BLUE is luscious fresh BC blueberry ice cream swirled with tart organic lemon ice cream. The tangy lemon is perfectly offset by the rich blueberry. A match made in July!








STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER is organic strawberry and sour cream ice cream with chunks of chewy chocolate brownie lurking within.









HILLHURST FARMER’S MARKET! It was so much fun scooping up the goodness and pushing the push pops every Wednesday in July. It was great to meet so many ice cream lovers and watch their faces light up with that perfect first bite. Here are some pictures of what we dished up!

It’s June. Summer’s long awaited arrival and Father’s Day


THOSE LAZY HAZY CRAZY DAYS OF SUMMER (those days of soda and PRETZELS AND BEER) is Wild Rose Brewery’s Crude Oatmeal Stout ice cream with a swirl of bourbon caramel and some chocolate covered pretzels thrown in just because. It’s Father’s Day in a pint … the other kind of pint … the ice cream kind of pint. (www.wildrosebrewery.com / @WildRoseBrewery)





RHUBARB is tangy and only slightly sweet creamy rhubarb ice cream with some icy cool rhubarb Riesling jam lurking within. Rhubarb is kinda like summer in Calgary … fleeting and never on time but luscious and so appreciated once it arrives. If it only it went on forever like this song! OH .. the Riesling is made in Canada! (www.peleeisland.com / @Peleewinery)

When Love Comes Knockin’ At Your Door


Roasted Bananas with plenty of Rum … to make it better. I was too young to have come by the Monkees on my own, I guess I have to thank my older sister Karen or my (badass) babysitter Phylis … but I was hooked and in love and swooney …if that’s a word. I remember practicing the harmonies in this with my sister endlessly … stealing my mother’s lipstick and covering Davy Jones’ picture with red kisses …. I think they were the first band that woke me up to how music makes you feel more alive!
