Cool Treats to Beat the Heat

July in National Ice Cream Month, and the third Sunday of the month - July 18 this year - is National Ice Cream Day.

If you can’t make it to Humphry Slocombe in San Francisco to try out some interesting flavors but are looking for an excuse to celebrate this sweet event, try out some of these recipes in MasterFILE Premier or check out some of these healthy ideas and options in Consumer Health Complete (yes, ice cream is included in those options!).

If you want to celebrate but really don’t want the calories - or the lactose, Encyclopædia Britannica offers a brief history of ice cream and shows kids how its made. There are also plenty of books to find in your library - from sweet stories for kids to tasty tales for teens and adults to fascinating facts and delicious histories.
