Copycat Ben and Jerry's Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Would you judge me if I told you I had ice cream for lunch yesterday? It's OK if you do, I usually would, but I'm pretty sure that by the end of this post you'll be convinced that it was an entirely acceptable thing for me to do...

Poppy Seed Dinner Rolls

So were you impressed with Becky's baking skills in the last post? You were? Then be even more impressed that, on her very first attempt at making bread, not only did Becky turn out an amazing Pesto Bread Wreath, she also made these wonderful poppy seed dinner rolls! I have to confess, we were quite seriously proud of ourselves at turning out two very different recipes in one afternoon!

Pesto Bread Wreath and a Special Guest

 

I love baking bread. I love the process, the smell... and especially the outcome. But you know what I love even more? Baking bread with friends! Last weekend, my precious friend Becky came over to hang out for a while, and although she is a seriously good baker (I mean seriously good) she had never made bread before so asked if we could give it a go. At this point I should probably mention that Becky is 14 (she's a member of our youth group) and the photo above is the outcome of her first ever attempt at making bread! I told you she was seriously good- talk about natural talent!

Raspberry Breakfast Cakes

My favourite breakfast at the moment is Greek yoghurt with raspberries. By favourite, I mean that I have it pretty much every day. I did tell you that raspberries and I have a special relationship!

I recently stumbled across a recipe that said you can use yoghurt to make cakes... how did I not know about this before?! Given that raspberries and yoghurt go hand in hand in my mind, and my breakfast obsession means that I always have the two in the house at any given time, I figured I'd go ahead and make me some breakfast cakes- even if it was 10 o'clock at night (I felt I should note this so you might forgive me for the slightly grainy photos).
