Banana Split Icebox Cake Success!
Thank you to The Girl Who Ate Everything for helping show Arielle and me how to make a yummy icebox cake. In case you missed it here’s our icebox cake failure. We didn’t give up.

My junk food, pizza loving son is counting calories and doing push-ups. I wonder why? Ingredients: 1 box Graham Crackers 3 Bananas…

Teamwork is so much more fun than cooking alone. I was sampling an old batch of sangria while we worked. If the pictures are a little crooked… now you know why. If they’re the best you’ve ever seen… now you know…
