Baked Goodies

Over the last couple of weeks I've been able to do a bit of baking :) With Addison being 1, it keeps me pretty busy most days but on a few quieter days I was able to do a bit. I do really enjoy trying new recipes.

A few weeks ago two of my sweetest girlfriends and their kiddos came for a dinner playdate while they were in town. I was so excited to see my girlfriends (they live two hours away)! So I decided to make homemade chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches. I made chocolate chip cookies, using a small scoop to keep the size of the cookies uniform. On the day when my friends would arrive, I assembled the sandwiches. They were a hit!

On another day I decided to make a strawberry cobbler for a church dinner. I had read many recipes for strawberry rhubarb pie, but not being a fan of rhubarb, I decided to try something different. It turned out GREAT. Ron loved the cobbler. It takes A LOT of strawberries, but it's so worth the cost and time.

Recently while Ron was gone to Indiana for a master class, our car broke down. I really didn't know what to do, as Ron does most of our vehicle upkeep. He called a family who attends our church and they totally took care of the car for me! I was amazed at the love they showed our family that week while Ron was gone. I've been trying to figure out how I could say thanks to this sweet couple. So, I decided to bake them some fresh classic french bread. My bread maker is such a great kitchen tool. I let the bread cool and wrapped it up with a bow. I hope they like the fresh bread and more so know how very much we appreciated their help a few weeks ago.
