Banana Ice Cream

When I was pregnant with Liam this was my number one thing to eat beside Mexican food. I probably would have gained far less weight had I known how to make my own banana ice cream haha! This is incredible easy all you need is a food processor and a banana.
Step 1
Peel Banana
Step 2
Slice Banana
Step 3
Freeze for 2 hours
Step 4
Put in food processor- it looks weird at first but keep going eventually it will get creamy looking and then you have ICE CREAM.
Next time I am going to add a little peanut butter! YUM

Check out where I found this recipe: http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/tips-techniques/stepbystep-instructions-for-oneingredient-ice-cream-097170

Planning Liam's First Birthday Party

Yes I know its 2 months away so some might think I am starting early, but I will be out of town a lot before his birthday so I have to start now!

Drumroll.... the theme is Liam's favorite book...The Very Hungry Caterpillar
















 I have decided to just make Liam's smash cake and leave the cake for everyone else to the professionals! The cupcake liner will be made with candy melts yummy! Here is an example picture of the smash cake. Liam's will be different colors to go with the Caterpillar theme.







We are having a caterpillar hunt and needed butterfly nets.  Today while in the dollar store I found these for our younger guest who are going to be hunting out caterpillars made out of pom poms by me! Oh how I love the dollar tree! Online these would have cost twice as much!

And just so Jason wouldnt feel left out helping with the decorations he is making this! hehe
