Summer means one thing at our place... ICE CREAM SEASON! We eat ice cream year round, but I feel justified to enjoy it more when it's not -30! We make almost all of our ice cream in our handy-dandy ice cream maker. Our ice cream maker makes about 1.5 quarts of ice cream -- which is just perfect for us.
With the leftovers, we freeze them in the Ziploc Twist and Lock 2 C containers.

This works really well for us because:
- It keeps our ice cream fresh because we're only thawing a smaller container of ice cream as we're waiting to scoop the ice cream into our dishes.
- The containers stack great in the freezer, and allow us to empty containers out of the freezer when we finish a couple cups, which helps us save precious freezer space.
- We can have multiple kinds of ice cream in the freezer at any one given moment....! Right now we have vanilla, cherry and orange sherbert!

Nothing beats homemade ice cream. What a great tip to store in the Ziploc containers. Mmm..Orange Sherbet?! I need that recipe. :)

We use sour cream and butter tubs that are the same size. They are 2 C. I use masking tape and a sharpie for labeling because my hubbie won't eat it unless he knows exactly what it is.
