Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

As the Olympics begin tonight, we had to have a party with ice cream.  The kids like it when we make our own in our ice cream machine, so instead of our frosty knock-off I thought I would try a vanilla. 

This is a good recipe, but I am not sure that it is copycat of our beloved Texas Blue Bell!

The kids enjoyed it and the topping bar that came with it!
