Cooking, Baking, Entertaining!

This is the neighborhood Ice Cream truck that comes around every day.
He parks right in front of our house. We haven't tried the ice cream yet but have watched others get it. We are waiting for it to warm up! Sometimes he comes quite late..... We hear he sells more than ice cream.........



This past week was a busy cooking week. Monday, treats for FHE with the single adults. Tuesday, Lasagna for the mission district meeting, Wednesday, dinner for a family in the ward...Friday, Mexican for 2 families and the Elders, Saturday, treats for the YSA activity at our house, Sunday, Barbecue Beef for the ward "Linger-longer, and of course Valentines Day Cookies to deliver and have for FHE tonight! It takes me longer to make anything here because I am still getting use to what I can find and how to improvise...but it's working! As you can see in the top picture, I used a pringles can for a rolling pin, made my own cookie cutter out of card stock, used a pot for a mixing bowl (mixed by hand, no mixer...) baked the cookies on a cookie sheet and a cake pan! It's kind of fun to see how creative I can be! Elder Holt helped!
When we have people over we usually end up using every dish, pan and utensil that we have....
sometimes I chuckle when I think of all the dishes I have at home! Life is simple....life is good!

We use to love the ice cream truck...He sold soft serve icecream with a Cadbury Flake chocolate stick stuck in the side. You will have to try it.
I think your cookies turned out better then mine.
