May’s Tasty Treats

May brought a lot of tasty treats my way. Some I made, some I didn’t, and some were from my garden. May was a very tasty month indeed.

To kick off the month I made some No Bake Cookies. These are great for lunches and snacks too.

0023

My family loves Chocolate Bundt Cake. I remembered to get a picture of the very last piece, before it was reduced to this…

0044

Nothing but crumbs.

0132

I made some Vanilla Cupcakes from scratch. The cake is sweet and soft.

0243

They turned out great. I sent a few in Thade’s lunch-box too.

0144

I made another batch of Homemade Donuts. I made a few of them with Powdered Sugar, they tasted just like funnel cakes.

0037

For Mother’s Day I decided to make myself a Pig Pickin’ Cake. It is a three layer cake, and it is one that I hadn’t made before.

0024

I was excited to use my “new” Cake plate too.

The Pig Pickin’ Cake turned out great! I am going to make this again this Summer. It is cool, and super tasty.

033

For a Summer surprise for the kiddos we made a little trip to DQ to stock the freezer. I should have bought more Dilly Bars though, they were a big hit with everybody.

0045

I made several batched of Rice Krispies Treats this month. These are great for after-school snacks and lunch-boxes too. My hubby likes them too, a batch doesn’t last too long around our house.

0303

I made lots of batches of chocolate chip cookies too. This batch was a combination of Milk Chocolate Chips, and Mini Chocolate Chips.

0432

For breakfast for dinner night I made Monkey Bread. It is an oldie but a goodie.

0322

The best take-out of the month was Ribs! The Zarda Ribs guy was set up at a local grocer, and we got two slabs. They are delicious. I have got to learn how to make Ribs.

0323

I made a few homemade Pizzas, and set up a buffet in the kitchen. The veggie one is still my favorite.

0061

I made a few batches of Homemade Breadsticks too. I love them, and Thade really loves them.

0038

These Chocolate Chip cookies were one of the best batches that I have made. I only used Mini Chocolate chips, and they turned out perfect.

0062

I picked Snow Peas twice from our garden. They are growing well.

0151

For a light dinner for me, I steamed the Snow Peas, then shocked them, and served them over a bed of rice. I added a little soy sauce too, it was amazingly good.

041

I got one Raspberry before the birds did, and it was delicious. I love fresh raspberries.

0421

I also only got one tiny Strawberry before the dog got to it. Mia loves strawberries, she is an odd pup.

The weather is already getting a little warm, so I made the boys some Pink Lemonade Popsicles. They really liked them, and it makes for a tasty cool treat.

0115

When it was Memorial Day, we had an indoor-a-q. I grilled Hot Dogs, made Hamburgers, and we had a Cherry Jell-O Cake for dessert. Jell-O Cake is one of our favorites.

We’ll see what happens in June. The kids have been helping me out in the kitchen.
