I seemed to be in the kitchen non-stop through April, but I didn’t get too many pictures. I’ll have to do better in the month of May.

We have been on a homemade ice cream kick lately. Thade wanted to make a triple chocolate batch, and I was happy to make up a new recipe.

Our triple chocolate ice cream started off with a chocolate base, and we added in some mini chocolate chips.

I also made a batch of homemade hot fudge sauce. We added in a ripple of the hot fudge to finish off the triple chocolate ice cream.

It was crazy tasty!

The homemade hot fudge sauce was tasty on vanilla ice cream too.

I’ve been making ahead a few meals to have for fast lunches for the boys. I made up a big batch of Turkey and Cheese Rolls. These are easy to pack into lunch-boxes.

For breakfast for dinner night I made a KS favorite, Sausage Rolls. They were delicious.

I’ve also been rotating in new quick snacks for the kids. They liked the batch of Toffee Bars.

We made lots of chocolate chip cookies too.

Agnes and I needed a tasty treat. I topped off the last of the homemade vanilla ice cream with Bananas in a butter & brown sugar sauce. I loved it.

I made a quick batch of Irish Soda Bread for Sunday dinner.

I liked it best with Strawberry Jam.

At the end of the month I made up a batch of homemade Strawberry ice cream.

It has been my favorite that we’ve made so far.

May has been busy already. I’ve been back in the kitchen baking, and menu planning for Summer. I’ve been having a time keeping the pantry stocked, the boys are eating everything in sight. Time to get back to it.
