You guys. I forgot. I forgot about root beer floats. Okay let me explain.

You know when you are a child and you have your favorite treat. And it something you know that is special and you only have it ever so often. That was what root beer floats were for me. I remember my parents keep these glass mugs in the freezer just for a time when they wanted to pull them out and make a float. It was special. It was good. But I forgot about that.

How can that be? Well we become adults. We forget the simple things in life that used to brighten our day. We lose that because we are in fact, adults.

My kids are helping me remember those simple things. And I am SO glad!! Now take this Cherry Vanilla Root Beer Float. It all started with me finally getting around to making homemade ice cream. Another thing that my family did in the summer times. Something I LOVED.

I decided to make ice cream, which lead to me buying some A&W® Root Beer at Meijer. I was able to pick up a few simple ingredients of cherries, vanilla beans, bananas, heavy whipping cream and of course, A&W Root Beer to make these floats! ENJOY!
