Carlota de Limón #SundayFunday

What to do when the theme for your Sunday Funday Blogging group is Cakes around the World, and temps are at record highs while air quality is at record lows?  You make an Icebox cake from Mexico that is quick, easy, delicious, and requires absolutely no baking!!

Carlota de Limon

It's time for Sunday Funday, and we need a reason to have some fun after being stuck inside for the past few days while our poor Canadian neighbors are devastated by the wildfires consuming their land.

2 Ingredient Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream #IceCreamSocial

Ok, you caught me.....I lied.  This Ice Cream is supposed to be only 2 ingredients, but I had to add a little milk to get the consistency I wanted.  So I guess this is actually 3-ingredient ice cream, unless your bananas are a little riper and creamier than mine.  


We are having an Ice Cream Social today........

Ground Pork Fried Rice and the Weekly Menu

This colorful, delicious, semi-homemade dinner comes together quickly, starting with ground pork.  It is flavorful, tasty, and nutritious.  It is a great way to use up leftover rice, but you can also use precooked rice from those microwaveable cups or pouches with great results.  If you have leftover or fresh veggies, feel free to add them to this stir-fry. A package of frozen stir-fry vegetables makes this meal quick and easy.

Napoleon #SpringSweetsWeek

This easy-to-make, semi-homemade, elegant-looking dessert takes just a few minutes of hands-on time with delicious, stunning results.

I was making these for a crowd, so I doubled the recipe and made a batch of vanilla/strawberry and a batch of lemon/blueberry. I also omitted a layer to make more individual pieces, which served as part of a Russian Tea baby shower for my Grandson.

Sausage and Plum Traybake and a Book Review #LitHappens

Evidently, what we call a Sheet Pan Dinner, here in the States, is called a Traybake in England.  A popular traybake in England includes sausage and plums.  I have no idea if this dinner resembles what you would get if you were visiting the UK, but it was well enjoyed here.
