Get ready for a bunch of food related photos. I was in the kitchen non-stop during June.

Thade’s Banana Muffins. One afternoon, the kids were bored, and Thade has been wanting to help in the kitchen more. I had some bananas that needed to be used up, and Thade learned a recipe.

All three kids helping. Thade was busy mashing up bananas.

Chocolate Chip Cookies and Bananas. I think I make Chocolate Chip Cookies at least once a week now. They make a great treat for snack time.

Mini Cherry Pies, James loves these. The crust on these bad-boys was crazy flaky.

Fresh Raspberries from the garden. They were so sweet, and amazingly tasty.

Pumpkin Bread, I took this along to the picnic.

Lone Strawberry, finally a pretty one from the plants. The dog ate it though…

Coffee and Cookies, my afternoon snack on a cluster headache day.

Play-date snacks, Banana Cake and No Bake Cookies. The kids loved the cookies.

Yummy picnic food!

Panko Chicken Sandwiches, I made these a few times in June.

Good-bye Cookies… My hubby had a co-worker that was leaving, so I made some cookies.

Milk and Cookies. Make that lactose free milk, darn food allergies…

Large Bakery-style Sugar Cookies,

with Vanilla Icing. These were soft and sweet.

Father’s Day Snacks

Nothing but crumbs… I made one of James favorite meals for Father’s Day.

Mashed Potatoes, those were left behind from the Father’s Day feast.

Father’s Day Dessert, Chocolate Bundt Cake. This one is an all-time family favorite.

Agnes’ animals guarding the cookies.

Again, I made Panko Chicken Sandwiches. These have become a favorite at my house.

I used my bread-maker to proof some dough for Butter Rolls. The rolls were light and fluffy. I’m going to make a double batch for the Fourth of July, and make Pulled Pork Sliders.

I had leftover dough in the freezer, and homemade apple pie filling too. I had an afternoon where I needed to bake something, so I made some free-form Apple pies.

I still have a few Strawberries popping up on the plants.

They were delicious in my Oatmeal.

Lastly I made some Giant Chocolate Chip cookies at the very end of the month. The kids loved watching these cookies bake in the oven, and they loved the finished product too. They are really tasty.

I have many desserts planned for July too. I can’t wait to get started on all of the tasty treats for the Fourth of July!
