Get to Know You Monday (Vol. 3)
I simply adore Monday's now. You make me smile, friends. I hope you are enjoying the opportunity to get to know one another as much as I am. If this is your first time joining us for Get to Know You Monday, you can catch up here and here.
Today's question is an easy-peasy one. I will explain why at the end.
Question: What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? If you do not like ice cream, do you have a favorite dessert?
This question came to my mind as I passed by one of my favorite pictures hanging in the hallway of our home. It always makes me smile.
The two sillies above (hubby and youngest son) both love butter pecan. My son said he's pretty sure chocolate ice cream resided in his cup at the time of the photo though.
Since I am sharing their favorite flavor, I might as well share the favorites of the entire family.
My son's girlfriend, who is very much a part of our family, loves mint chocolate chip.
My favorite? I love all things coffee flavored too. Just one scoop, please. You can keep the cone and I will pass on any toppings. Simple, yet oh so yummy.
Now it's time for you to share your favorite. Feel free to share for the entire family too. If you're like me that may require reaching out to confirm what their favorites are. Want to include how you take your ice cream? Go right ahead. The floor is yours. Pictures can be shared on my blog Facebook page.
Afterwards, I would be grateful if you would hop on over to Circles of Faith to read my post. I am a regular contributor for them and today's post takes you back to how my Love Dare journey began. If you've been following along, it goes back a little further than I initially shared. Read post here.
I'm a peanut butter & chocolate person. The one Baskin Robbins makes is the best, but I'll take any variation that includes both my besties. :) My husband is mint chocolate chip all the way.
ReplyDeleteFun blog topic!
Peanut butter and chocolate is ALWAYS yummy!
DeleteAww too cute! It would Moose Tracks all the way. I love it.
ReplyDeleteYum! :)
DeleteFun, Beth! Mint chocolate chip, unless we're at Baskin Robbins and then it's Almond Pistachio! <3
ReplyDeleteAny kind of blizzard is usually a must for me when at Baskin Robbins. But the new Moolatte they have allowed me to have my coffee! :)
Deleteis it possible to narrow it down to just one? I guess if I had to choose it would be coffee.
ReplyDeleteI know. It can be a hard choice. :)
DeleteO, love this blog. Here in Holland we have ice cream with apple pie flavor :-) I like it so much.

I think I need to come to Holland! Welcome, Aritha. So happy to have you join us here.
DeleteUh oh...my comment disappeared. I'll try again!
ReplyDeleteIce cream is really yummy on a hot summer's day, however, alas...I have sensitive teeth so I don't often choose it over other desserts such as creme brulee which I adore! However, I have found that when I have ice cream on a cone, I am able to enjoy it without pain! So, my favorite flavor when eaten on a cone would be butter pecan or mocha almond fudge! Yum! I can enjoy it that way one lick at a time!
Love, Joan
Oh, and Roy loves butter pecan gelato and rocky road ice cream!!
DeleteI do like creme brulee and not something I have very often so would be a nice treat.
DeleteI LOVE Mocha Almond Fudge and Ben & Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk!
ReplyDeleteFudge and more fudge! Super yummy stuff.
DeleteOoo! I love this topic! My absolute favorite is Mudpie Mojo from Coldstone. It's coffee, chocolatey, peanut buttery yumminess! Otherwise, anything with nuts - pistachio, butter pecan, rocky road...
ReplyDeleteOh my, Liv, that sounds delightful.
Deletehands down?
ReplyDeletemint chocolate chip!
OR
a DQ chocolate blizzard with extra Reeses' Peanut Butter Cups!
Vanilla and extra Reeses' Peanut Butter Cups for me!! I love, love peanut butter.
DeleteThis is the best topic ever! I might have stopped at Dairy Queen 3 times while in Texas this past weekend. :) Ice cream is a family affair and always has been. So fun to write on this today! Perfect summer prompt!

I'm so glad the question prompted a post. Thanks so much for sharing, Jennifer.
DeleteI am loving getting to know you on Mondays! :-) Oh, we are huge ice cream fans. My favorite flavor..hmmm…that's a hard one. Anything chocolate, really. Lots of chocolate. And I love heath bar topping. Mmmmm. I may have to head to Page's (local ice cream joint) later.
ReplyDeleteI'm probably more vanilla than chocolate but if I'm doing toppings it will be something chocolate. So did we make it to Page's?
DeleteChocolate Chip Cookie Dough - or soft serve vanilla with warm caramel drizzle (um-poured) on top.
ReplyDeleteOh girl, that soft serve vanilla with warm caramel drizzle sounds rather fabulous.
DeleteI love coffee ice cream too with either butterfinger or health bar chunks mixed in. But when I want a quick fix I head through a McDonald's drive through for a vanilla soft serve cone :)
ReplyDeleteCoffee! Coffee!! Gotta love McDonalds soft serve cone too though.
DeleteChocolate
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteMint chocolate chip...or chocolate chip cookie dough...or mint chocolate chip...or chocolate chip cookie dough...or...oh, I give up, how about a scoop of each? :-)
ReplyDeleteSmiling again reading this. :)
DeleteHagen Daz Tiramisu gelato - my newfound favorite.
ReplyDeleteI like Tiramisu so that sounds yummy.
DeleteYou and your sweet family are just too cute. Me? Late Night Snack by Ben and Jerry. Chocolate covered potato chips and salty carmel swirl. Yuuuuuuuuum. Always good to see what you are up to, Beth! I love how you engage your readers.
ReplyDeleteNow that sounds interesting, Amy. Something I've never tried. You have me curious now.
DeleteCute!!!! I love sweet cream from coldstone, or Peanut butter... :)
ReplyDeletePeanut butter!! :)
DeleteHi Beth! It's Oberweis Chocolate Peanut Butter all day. Worth the Lactaid I have to take!
ReplyDeleteButter pecan is my Dad's favorite..
Ceil
We have lots of peanut butter lovers here. We shall go for ice cream together this summer, Ceil. A trip to the beach with ice cream! hehe
DeleteYummy! Just ice cream it would be one scoop of chocolate and one mint chocolate chip. But our homemade dark chocolate fudge goes on anything to make it awesome!
ReplyDeleteOkay, let's make a trip out for ice cream together, Linda. A date night with the Ostrand family!

ReplyDeleteI wish we could all have one big ice cream party together! Thank you for sharing, lovely ladies. :) I will be going through and responding individually but wanted you to know I am reading these!!!
ReplyDeletepecan praline & oreo-one scoop of each in a waffle cone! mmm :)
ReplyDeleteI love actually love waffle cones! We will have to go out for ice cream while I'm in SD.
DeleteALL I Love ice cream!!
ReplyDeleteHere in the Philippines we have the best ice cream ever- Arce's Macapuno! made from carabao milk and coconut. It is the absolute creamiest! :^) patsy
ReplyDeleteI'm on my way! :)
DeleteOh, boy, I LOVE ice cream!! My favorite is coffee. :) My son's is cookies and cream and my daughter's is mint choco chip. Hubby likes cherry.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving that we share a favorite!
DeleteI have two favorites...if we go to Baskin Robbins in the summer months, it's baseball nut! I have loved this flavor since I was about ten! (and that's a long time!). My second favorite, that I will have at home, is vanilla!
ReplyDeleteSusan Horn
Hey there Susan! So nice to see you here. Thanks for sharing. Baseball nut... sounds fun and yummy.
DeleteI like Deep Dark Chocolate with Lemon Custard ice cream! YUUUMMMM! One of my boys likes cotton candy with sweet cream! I made homemade blackberry ice cream last week - and, oh, my - it was delicous! Maybe ice cream is my fav flavor! LOL
ReplyDeleteI could be easily convinced to come over for that homemade ice cream!
DeleteI love Mint Chocolate Chip, with Rocky Road as a close second!! I like to have it in a cup with the cone squished down on top. My ultimate, forget-the-diet, please-apply-directly-to-my-hips indulgence is something I used to get at Baskin-Robbins. A banana royale. A scoop of mint chocolate chip, a scoop of rocky road, a sliced banana, hot fudge, and nuts. It was like 10,000 calories. I miss those days!!
ReplyDeleteHA!
I also like these coffee candies that I get at CVS. I have been known to eat a whole bag in a day.
Don't tell.
XO
Ice cream is always FREE calories. :)) lol
DeleteI'm late joining the party. On vacation this week. My favorite is mint chocolate chip also! It tastes even better on vacation. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are never late because see I'm late getting by to respond to your comment. I do really like mint chocolate chip shakes! :)
DeleteA day late and a dollar short, but who cares...
ReplyDeleteI adore chocolate peanut-butter ice cream specifically from Baskin Robins. And as luck would have it, that is my boys favorite too!!
My girl loves Blue Bunnies extra chunky cookie dough, and as luck would have it that is my mans favorite too!!
Do you think we influenced them? ;-D
Chocolate peanut-butter . . . yum, yum! Oh, and cookie dough is yummy too. Coming back here has me wanting to go for ice cream again. :)
DeleteWhat a great idea! Asking questions every Monday!
ReplyDeleteVanilla...with homemade chocolate sauce.
