Be a STAR with these Holiday Ice Cream Sandwiches

Beaches and pools have opened up and ice cream trucks are once more playing their jingle. Summer has finally arrived! In this new episode of Unwritten Recipes, a HooplaHa Original Series, we commemorate Independence Day and cool down with host Felicia Levinson, with a helping hand from her son Simon, who shares with us her recipe on how to make Star Ice Cream Sandwiches.

Not every kitchen creation comes from a cookbook. Sometimes it's the story about the snack that makes it taste that much better!

When Simon and the rest of her children were younger, they would all race to the street when they heard the classic jingle of the ice cream truck as it rolled up the street. Since the truck often arrived at bedtime, each of them would get an ice cream sandwich and promptly put the treat in the freezer, saved for tomorrow's adventures!

This prompted Felicia to turn this classic into a recipe of her own. She first shows how she takes freshly baked sheets of chocolate wafer cookies and cuts out star shapes. With Simon sandwiching vanilla ice cream (or any favorite flavor) between 2 cookies and then rolling them in sprinkles, this July 4th treat is ready to serve!

This is a simple way to create the classic ice cream sandwich right at home! It's a great treat for the kids (and adults) to helps them cool down and enjoy their summer fun. It's easy to make and delicious!

Felicia, mother, thespian and comfort food creator, concocts dishes from the recipes she learned from her mother, grandmother and other special family moments. Every dish comes with a story and every one is packaged with love.

Thinking of making this recipe shown here for your Fourth of July BBQ? Check out Felica's blog Unwritten Recipes for written instructions for Star Ice Cream Sandwiches, as well as countless other tasty recipes.

This Organization Feeds Their Entire Community

If you are a kid and your bed is a lumpy, old couch or a cold, hard floor and you leave home for school without a regular breakfast, you will not excel in your classes. This daily struggle is shockingly common in many areas of the country and it sets many children on a downward spiral at an early age that is difficult to recover from. This is where Meals By Grace is making a difference.

Anonymous Authors of Love Letters Uplift The Lonely

While it is exciting to see the bold type of a newly arrived email from an old friend or the pulsing dots of a long awaited text, there is still something special about the arrival of a hand written, stamped envelope in your home mailbox.

For those who are facing personal difficulties, adjusting to new circumstances, or just feeling isolated, the physical experience of handling a letter, opening the sealed side of the envelope, and sliding out a beautiful card brings the thrill and anticipation of contact with another person, something they may been missing for long time. Fulfilling this need is at the heart of an inspiring organization called "The World Needs More Love letters".

Dancing Away From Illness And Onto The Stage

The hall lights dim…..a hush comes over the audience … the command "places everyone" is given… there is a palpable stillness in the air as the first notes of the opening piece float out of the speakers and hover above the stage…. the curtain rises with a whir … the lights come up… its time …

These are the moments a performer lives for. The hours of solitary sweat and toil practicing their craft in sparse, small rooms, are the dues required for the joy of putting their skill and craft out there for an audience hungering for something special and moving.

Singer, Poet, Activist, Lupus Survivor - Shanelle Gabriel

"Rock out...live your life....live your art!" This was Brooklyn, New York native Shanelle Gabriel's response to her diagnosis of Lupus, an autoimmune disease where your body's immune system, that usually fights infections, attacks healthy tissue instead.

Shanelle first noticed something was off when her fingers turned blue and hurt in the cold and she could not seem to shake the feeling of fatigue no matter how well she slept. After being diagnosed in 2004, Shanelle decided that her health would not be something that would limit her success.
