The Ice-cream cake

Mommy and me time!

My daughter loves to do everything that I do. She helped make dinner tonight. We had breaded chicken with honey mustard dipping sauce. It is so much easier for me to do it on my own but I want to teach her like my Mom did for me. Both of my kids ate the dinner tonight (Jonathan even ate chicken). They also both tried sweet onions and loved them. They taste so much sweeter then the onions we are used too.

We also made a special ice-cream cake to celebrate his birthday. We had planned on making it on his birthday but never did. The kids helped make it and loved it.

Skor ice-cream cake

8 ice-cream sandwiches

1 bag skor candy pieces

1 8 oz tub whipped cream

layer 4 sandwiches on bottom of loaf pan and then add half of whipped cream, sprinkle with crushed skor candy and repeat layers. The kids enjoyed it very much and it was super easy.
We had quite an exciting day; church, gym and then we were supposed to go swimming but thunder showers came instead. Another fun weekend in the Friesen household : )

New at blogging

This is my first blog ever! I am so excited to share some of my favorite things: cooking and running. I can't decide which of the two I enjoy more. There is only one thing better then a runners high and that is trying out a new recipes for my family and friends. I discovered a Barefootbloggers website and really want to join. One of the requirements is to have your own blog so.... I am going to try this. We just moved to Ohio as of Monday. I went for my first run in our new State and found myself sweating before I even began. Any tips for surviving humidity? I will be posting recipes and more soon.
