Did you know the ancient Greeks invented ice cream Did you know the ancient Greeks invented ice cream? It was a simple combination of honey, snow, and fruit.

But, it wasn’t until the 16th century that Catherine de’Medici introduced the creamy goodness we all know and love.

100 years later, Charles I paid to have the formula kept secret for use by royals only.

This gigantic ice cream cookie sandwich from Penn State Creamery is filled with death by chocolate.

Happy Ice Cream Month! 🍦🍨

One of our favorites and the last stop on the Lehi One of our favorites and the last stop on the Lehigh Valley Wine Trail.

Galen Glen Winery was established in 1995 and has been producing exquisite wines from their crooked vines ever since.

All of the wines are delicious, but my favorites were the Grüner Veltliner and the Gewürztraminer.

Be sure to stop by this female-grape-growing-wine maker winery if you’re around the Lehigh Valley! 🍇🍷🥂
