Who’s the incredible cook and photographer behind this marvelous ebook? My good friend Marillyn Beard from Just Making Noise. She, her husband Jon and their three children live in Honduras as missionaries for youth (visit the Rancho Oasis for Youth website). Here are a few words from Mare about her life and family’s ministry.
“I am a wife to 1 amazing man, a mama of 3 beautiful kids and a missionary in Honduras. We are currently living on 6 and a half acres of land surrounded by gorgeous pines and mountains, starting up our ministry Rancho Oasis for Youth.
I’ve been writing my blog, Just Making Noise: Sound Bites From a Deaf Mama, since 2009 because I love to share my passions for healthy food, wholesome lifestyle and photography. I also love to make healthy sweets (especially ice cream!) and try to cook almost everything I can from scratch.
My family and I are learning how to run a productive homestead and currently learning many things from gardening and caring for animals. We desire to teach the people in the surrounding villages how to raise their own food through the square-foot gardening method and caring for goats to provide milk. Your purchase of this book is helping us reach those goals to not only help the Honduran people, but to also spread the gospel of Jesus Christ! Thank you!”
She’s inspirational! And such a sweetheart. I hope to meet her in person someday!
My Favorite Parts
Now you all know how much I love cultured foods, so I’m sure you’re not surprised that I am most excited about the 9 cultured milk recipes — the lime and white chocolate and vanilla with honey cinnamon swirl are likely to hit the Harmon household soon. 
Secondly, Mare included one of my 7 tips for great homemade ice cream (to not fill the freezer container all the way) — and she brought three more tips to the table that will surely help my ice cream making skills from here on out.
Mare, you’re obviously a pro at this. Thank you for taking the time from your busy, fulfilling life to create such a beautiful and comprehensive resource for all of us!

About Wardee Harmon
New: 
Two hard 'g's and stress the middle syllable. 
I just started making ice cream for my family last year and would love to learn more and get different recipes.
I would love to find more real food that my son will actually eat!
First of all, I appreciate the one entry only rule and not having to ‘tweet’ this,or ‘favorite’ that,or ‘like’ this. Thanks for making it simple
I would love to win this recipe book because I do not own an ice cream maker, I have a bunch of kids who love ice cream, and it looks like this recipe book is perfect for that. Thanks for the giveaway!oh- and next Thursday is 9/1-not 10/1!
I would love to learn how to make healthy ice cream. I don’t purchase store bought anymore. I would love to win this!
I would LOVE to win this eBook, I’ve started making nourishing ice creams but it would be great to have more tested recipes. Yum!
This book looks great! My husband and I love ice cream but with all the fake stuff that ahem, affordable ice cream has in it, I think that it would be much better to make our own.
I LOVE ice cream!!! I also LOVE cookbooks!! Thank you both for sharing all your knowledge with us!!
Crossing my fingers!!! 
I just bought a new ice cream maker and would love more healthy options than the ones that came with the machine
I’d love more ice cream ideas-my husband LOVES ice creams and I need to make more homemade instead of buying it from the store!
I love ice cream! I want this book so I can make delicious healthy treats for my little ones!
I want to win this book because I’m trying very hard to get my mom interested in eating real food. She just bought a new ice cream maker. Now she just needs the real food recipes to go with it!
I have fond childhood memories of eating homemade ice cream. I would love to learn how to give those memories to my kids. I’d love to win!
I love to make ice-cream but I lack the imagination to make up my own recipes! I’ve tried Mare’s recipe for oatmeal cookie dough she had on her blog awhile ago and I loooooovvvved it! I would love to win her book
I am so excited that Marillyn made a cookbook! She has such great recipes! She inspired me to start making my own ice cream and I make it all the time! My family loves ice cream! I would love to have her recipes added to mine! Thank you!
I’ve been wanting to try and make ice cream – this would be great!
I would love to win this ebook as I looooove ice cream! My hubby always teases me by telling others how my face lights up at the mention of it and how I have practically jumped off the motorcycle when coming up to a DQ.
My body probably would be grateful to have a healthy version as I have ulcerative colitis as part of my Lyme disease. (I know, I am not supposed to have sugar at all, but don’t remove my chance to win!)
Hey, this book looks great. If you tell me what info to share, I’d be glad to feature it on my blog, too! Love, love, love ice cream so healthy ice cream recipes, especially with cultured milk, interest me!

I would love to win, cause…you said ice cream after all. Homemade ice cream is one of my favorite treats, and dh loves gelato, but i’ve not come across many recipes for it, so (i’m prolly looking in the wrong place but)
I definitely need this ebook! Summer in Las Vegas requires loads of cold treats.
I would love to win this book so I can make icecream for the sensitive tummies in my family.
i just started getting fresh raw goats milk and an ice cream maker! Now all I need is a book!!
OH WOW!!! I would LOVE to win this ice cream recipe book! Why? Because I am sick and tired of all the artificial and unnecessary ingredients that are harmful to my kids. I would LOVE to make my own, not to mention the fact it is one more way I can get cultured foods into my picky eaters (I so wish I had known then what I know now so I could have started my kids eating right). Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I would love to learn how to make healthy ice cream.
I would LOVE to have this book! We enjoy eating fresh, healthy food, but how wonderful it would be to be serve a sweet treat…and not have to worry about all the artificial ingredients in commercial ice creams!
I would love this book! I grew up eating Breyer’s. It USED to be 100% natural (milk, cream, sugar and fruit) and it was a staple in our house. Now Breyer’s still sells “100% natural” however, it is loaded with Corn Syrup and other unnecessary ingredients. I eat a completely traditional diet and would LOVE to scratch a sweet tooth itch in a healthy way!
That e-book sounds fantastic! We have a nice ice cream maker that has only been used twice this summer. Fingers crossed!
I keep telling my husband that we need to make our own ice cream. My mom has an ice cream maker so I know the wonderful world of homemade! This book would give me a really good reason to go buy a machine.
I would love to learn how to make ice cream! I have a daughter that has special needs so it would be great to make ice cream that she can eat! Also I would love to read the recommendations for ice cream makers.
Well, I would love to win this because…..um……HELLO! It’s ICE CREAM!!!!!!!
Biggest and most important reason why I’d like to win a copy of this ebook… my SON!! He has a SEVERE tree nut ALLERGY!!!! Going to the ice cream shop and getting to see and choose from all those wonderful flavors is forbidden for him bc of the risk of cross contamination. It would be so awesome to be able to make all kinds of wonderful and nourishing ice cream for him at home. It’s so important to know exactly what is in the ice cream and where the ingredients came from, so that we don’t put his life in danger!!
I would LOVE this ebook! We have been making raw milk ice cream ALMOST weekly this summer, and I’m always looking for new ideas
I would love to have a copy of this. We love ice cream at our house and it’s so much healtheir than other sweets. Plus it might just make me go and buy an ice cream maker.
My husband, daughter and son can drink goat’s milk, and so far I’ve only made vanilla ice cream using raw goat’s milk … it was delicious. I’d love to win and try out new flavors!
I do make ice cream but I think it would be wonderful to learn more about it and how to make it healthier would be a bonus too. I dont like to keep too many sweets around the house because we always eat them up so fast and anything I can do to make them healthier is a bonus.
I live in Southern California and have four very hungry children who love sweet, healthy treats. We can make ice cream year round here, and it would be nice to have new, exciting recipes to try!
My husband loves to have a bowl of ice cream nightly before bed. If I could make a variety of more HEALTHY options, that would be soooo wonderful!!
Please pick me! I’m especially interested in all those different ways to make ice cream without an ice cream maker!
Wow this makes me crave sweet coldness! Here where it’s still in the 100′s in August. I LOVE to make ice cream but haven’t done much because I just have been addicted to some store brands. My version doesn’t have hfcs, but still so much other. I would love some FUN versions to motivate me to get the machine out. What a great ebook!
I would love to win this e-book on ice cream. Who doesn’t love ice cream. Esp. during hot days. But then again, I would eat it even on cold days.
I don’t have a ice cream maker so I would love to learn about making ice cream without an maker. Have a great day.
Because I live in Louisiana and ice cream is a staple around here in the HOT summertime!
oh my! ice cream
this ebook looks fascinating and will certainly give me
more reasons to make it MORE often~
Looks yummy. I love sorbet!
I’m headed over to buy the book now-if I were to win I’d host another giveaway on my blog and help spread the word about their mission.
We’ve been making goat milk ice cream for about a year using the basic vanilla recipe and we want to try new stuff. Love that I can eat a probiotic ice cream!
Thanks for sharing about this book and the mission!
We love ice cream! And healthy-Wow!
I would love to win this book!
I love the idea of cultured ice cream. All of the recipes sound delicious! Thank you
I would love to win this book! WE LOVE HOMEMADE ICE CREAM! I just got a new cusinart this summer and am loving using it!
I have spent hours trying to make healthy ice cream and not done very well. I need help! I would love to win this cookbook.
We live out in the country now and it is difficult to get ice cream home without it melting! We’ve been making lots of ice cream, but I would love to have some healthier recipes. Looks like a beautiful book!
It is so hard to find real food recipes for ice cream- I have tried a few of hers and they are excellent! I don’t like just plain milk so I try and make ice cream for myself. I would LOVE this book.
