Ice cream cake treat
Ice cream and icy treats are such a wonderful invention! Especially for a hot summer day, better than sliced bread in my book, and they keep getting better and better. There are so many inventive ways to make and have them. As the hot season is kicking in, here’s an awesome idea for you to surprise your family with.

I wanted to make this several weeks ago, but I kept forgetting to get a pineapple for it. When I did remember to get one there weren’t any good ones, or they were over priced! The pineapple I bought for 70/- last year is 120/- in the market today. Just wrong!

Oatmeal cherry cookies
The great thing about finding a recipe that works for me is it gives me freedom to experiment. Especially when it comes to simple things like cookies. Add this remove that, substitute this with that.

Crepes and berries
It is as yummy as it looks in that photo. I would add a sprinkle of icing sugar for presentation if I was to do it again though.
