We are loving summer! Home made Milky Way ice cream screams summer to me. My aunt Suzan made this every 4th of July for us. Melt 12, that’s right 12 Milky Way candy bars, with 1 can Hershey’s syrup, and 1 can sweetened condensed milk. Add enough whole milk to reach the fill line in your ice cream freezer, plug in and be prepared to be pleased.

So things have been a little wild around here with new little shop and A’s swim team EVERY day. I cook most nights but lunch is a free for all of pb&j, leftovers, and drive throughs. But Hubs is off work and handling swim team so I decided to surprise my crew with a real meal. They were shocked. Meet the cast of characters:
The marinade (Olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic salt, soy sauce, Worcestershire, lime, and horseradish)
Flank steak cut across the grain
Cute carrots from the garden
Sweet red pepper and Broccoli slaw- my kids have no idea this is in fact broccoli
Archer Farm Brand asparagus risotto (amazing-you must try this)
One- Brown the meat and set aside.
Two- add veggies and marinade
Three-add a Tlbs. or so cornstarch
Let it simmer, baby.
Yum and I’m off the hook for supper!

So y’all remember Miss May, she’s the key lime mini cupcake. Well to be more precise, she’s white cake filled with home-made key lime curd, topped with key lime butter cream, iridescent sugar, and lime zest. She had her first paid public appearance yesterday. I’m the proud stage mom, except not really cause those pageant moms freak me out (no offense, if that’s your kind of thing). Anyway, if you missed her at the grand opening, you can catch her at Homespun’s sidewalk sale on June 25th or feel free to contact me about having her over. She’s a party girl!

So I gathered the troops.
For this: Happiness is a tomato, basil, mayo sandwich.

It’s not weird to spend three hours testing out recipes for next week on Memorial Day, right? I think we have a winner: Meet Miss May- a key lime mini cupcake filled with home-made key lime curd (thank you very much) and topped with lime buttercream, iridescent sugar, and lime zest. She will be meeting and greeting on June 4th at Design Narrative. It feels good to score in the kitchen after the Oreo fiasco.

So it’s a quite Sunday morning, hubs and children are sleeping. I make coffee and drink in the joy of alone time. Then I decide to make a fun, little crafty for sister turning 30 today. Two bags of oreos and enough curses to rival a mass of drunken sailors, This is the end result. Two words, Never Again! Kelley
