Summertime Ice Cream Treats with Lisa

Summertime Ice Cream Treats with Lisa

Who doesn’t love a good banana split?  I personally love a good strawberry ice cream in a waffle cone with the chunks of strawberry still in it!  It takes me back to my childhood summers with my parents as a child.  My friend Lisa from Anderson’s is that lady for her neighborhood, the ice cream lady!  She knows all of the tricks to the best treats and knows how to make them look amazing as well.  This feature will show you just how good she is, just you watch!
