Ohh, the heat is on!! 90°F days in June are tough- especially when we are heading into what could be our second heat wave of the year. A cool refreshing dessert is what is needed on a hot day. A quick and easy to prepare dessert! One that requires only 3 ingredients is great. Simply Delicious! There are 3 ingredients: 1 small package of flavored Jello, 1 Cup of Vanilla Ice Cream and 1 Cup of hot (boiled) Water. Everything is mixed together (in order) in a medium size bowl. It is that easy! It also tastes so good!

Roasted Asparagus

Fresh Asparagus is a veggie that I have enjoyed for so many years. A great way to prep it is to roast it! Roasting Asparagus is easy and it is also delicious! So delicious! After prepping the stalks, the cleaned cut stalks are combined with olive oil and herbs. Then, they are placed on a cookie sheet and roasted in a preheated 425° F oven. 12- 13 Minutes later it is done. It is that easy! Tonight we enjoyed it again. 

**I line my cookie sheet with foil first.

Ready to place in my oven!

Best Ever Irish Soda Bread

Irish Soda Bread

It's March! It's also that time of year to bake an Irish Soda Bread! You know, that yummy bread that is just filled with plump raisins. The bread that tastes so good with every bite. Add Buttermilk and unsalted Butter to your grocery list this weekend, so you can bake this delicious bread, too. Add Raisins to your list, also. 

The first time I baked it I realized that it was just the best Irish Soda Bread that I had ever baked or tasted! Many are too dry. Many do not have many Raisins. Many are not baked with Butter. This bread is the best!! Yum!!

Bake this bread this weekend and enjoy a slice on St. Patrick's Day!! Heating a slice a few seconds in the microwave = yummy plus!!

For the Irish Soda Bread recipe click here. 

Remember to soak the Raisins before adding to the batter!

Enjoy!
Yummy!
