Celebrating Success

Hooray, third week of school and we are celebrating success already!  Ben brought home an A on his reading test from last Friday, and Lia already got a star on her first RAH (Read At Home) Book! 

Ben and I had to stop by the store on the way home and he saw the freezer full of ice cream sandwiches.  He asked if we could make them at home and I told him, absolutely!

So. . . TA-DA!!  Vanilla ice cream on a Vanilla Chip Cookie Sandwich!  They were scrumptious!!


I used a typical chocolate chip cookie recipe but used the Ghiradelli White Chips (which are made from vanilla - no cocoa!) instead of chocolate chips.  The Breyers All Natural Vanilla Ice Cream is a staple around here, so I just scooped that between two cookies.  I'm to the point where I can make cookie dough in about five minutes, and bake them while we're eating dinner. 

And the end result is so much better than that stuff in the grocery freezer.
