Summer is here: Celebrate with your family

Facing busy calendars and over-scheduled summers, Americans are dedicating, on average, only 40 minutes a week for family time, according to a research study from the NYU Child Study Center. With summer in full swing, it’s the perfect time to capture those fleeting family moments and create delicious celebrations of happiness, laughter and togetherness.

Culinary artist, Clare Crespo, knows how important  quality family time can be, which is why she is inspiring all families – including her own – to get creative in the kitchen. Crespo lives by the mantra that food preparation and presentation is half the fun, and can be a spur-of-the-moment, group event. Take ice cream, for instance:

“A scoop of Breyers ice cream is a deliciously blank canvas – one that has the potential to bring out the dessert artist in all of us,” says Crespo. “Amid fits of giggles and messy moments, a simple bowl of ice cream can unleash imaginative and memorable quality time together, even if only for a few minutes.”

Whether you’re inside the kitchen or out, Crespo urges families to take every opportunity to celebrate life’s delicious moments this summer: 

*Take it outside: Don’t take the lazy days of summer too literally. Take advantage of the weather and enjoy the outdoors. With so many built-in activities, it’s a great way to connect with your family. 

*Continue the fun indoors: Keep the kiddos entertained – even after sundown. Gather the family around the dessert table, grab a scoop of ice cream, and dig in. Capture these “delicious moments of family togetherness” and share them on Facebook.com/Breyers for a chance to win prizes like a tablet and a year’s supply of Breyers. 

* Keep it simple: Pressed for time or funds? Make everyday tasks more fun by getting the family involved. Let the kids choose what to make for dinner, or allow them to help pack lunches together.

For more summertime fun, cool off in the kitchen this summer by creating one of Crespo’s delicious frozen treats.

1 cup toasted cinnamon cereal, crushed

1 tablespoon I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! spread, melted

1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Combine chocolate, cream and cayenne in small microwave-safe bowl. Cook at HIGH in microwave 1 minute. Let stand 1 minute. Stir and continue cooking in additional 15 second increments until it can be stirred smooth.

Shape Breyers Natural Vanilla Ice Cream into 4 1/2-cup balls, then freeze 1 hour or until firm. Evenly coat ice cream with cereal, press to flatten slightly, and then shape a hole in the center to make a donut shape. Freeze until ready to serve.
