The first session of Nana's Cooking Camp took place this past week. Five of my seven grands took part.

We made homemade vanilla ice cream in my Donvier ice cream maker. All the kids had a turn at mixing up the ingredients and then turning the crank. They loved it!

We also made Nutter Butter Ice Cream Cookies to go with our ice cream. I think they were a hit, too!

To make the "ice cream cones", you dip the tops of Nutter Butter cookies into melted white or milk chocolate almond bark, lay onto wax paper, sprinkle with colorful sprinkles and top with a "cherry" M&M.

I had my own tea party the next day with some leftover cookies. These cookies are so tasty! I hope you try them with some special little people in your life.

I'm using my shamrock green Fiesta Ware mug that coordinates with my sunflower plate. My napkins also have sunflowers sprinkled in.

Mr. Frog was given to me by my daughter and I planted him with my St. Patrick's Day shamrock (Oxalis) plant.

Today is another beautiful day in Texas and I'm having my favorite salad with a sprinkle of candied spiced almond.

This cheerful teacup is one that my sister found in a thrift shop in Columbus, Ohio. It's a cup that was made in Bavaria, Germany, but it's signed by Flossie Umberger, in gold paint. I'm thinking that Flossie possibly painted the design onto the cup and saucer at a later time?

Here's a salad that I fix everyday for lunch. I've shown this salad before, but I vary it with the toppings. I love the crunchiness that the sliced almonds give. You can find my favorite Balsamic Salad Dressing recipe here.

I like to make a quantity of these almonds and keep them in a quart jar in my fridge. These will last me several weeks. If you like a little crunch in your salad, I hope you try these these soon.

Candied Spiced Sliced Almond

3 cups sliced almonds

2 Tablespoons butter

2 Tablespoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

In a large nonstick skillet melt the butter and then add the sliced almond. Sprinkle on the sugar and all seasonings on and stir. Toast the almonds over medium heat, stirring occasionally to keep the almonds from burning. When the almonds are a golden color and toasted, turn off the heat and let cool. Stir the almonds to avoid clumping and store in a container in the fridge. Serve on your favorite salad.

News on my Son:

Some of you know that my son, Mike, who has been here with me for the past two years, went in to have the "trial" spinal cord transmitter implant, last Friday. It was about an hour procedure and then an hour in the recovery room and then home. He is learning how to tweak the remote to change settings for the pain in both of his legs. Hopefully on Wednesday, he will have the wires removed and then make an appointment with a surgeon to have the actual wireless transmitter implanted. Thank you for all your well wishes, concern, and prayers. They are much appreciated!

Lemon Lush

Yea!! The sun is shining today and I have set up tea by my waterfall. How about joining me for some Lemon Lush dessert? For all of you that have been keeping my son, who has been in chronic pain for the past several years, in your thoughts and prayers, he is having the "trial" spinal transmitter implant procedure done this coming Friday. If it is a success, he will then have the final procedure a few days later. I so appreciate your concern for him and will keep you updated. Thank you so much!

This Alpine Strawberry teacup by Roy Kirkham, made in England, is one of my very favorite ones. It's like a beautiful painting all around the cup and saucer, and the little bee is a sweet surprise.

Lemon Lush is an old recipe that I've had for years. It's good in other flavors, like chocolate or pistachio, and it's always cool and refreshing. You can find a pistachio variation that I did here.

Crust :

1 sleeve of Lorna Doone cookies, crushed

3 T. butter melted

Cream Cheese Layer:

8 oz block cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 cup Cool Whip

Pudding Layer:

1 box Instant Lemon Pudding

1 1/2 cups milk

Garnish:

Additional Cool Whip

1. Crush cookies and mix with melted butter. Pat into the bottom of an 8 x 8" or 9 x 9" pan. Refrigerate until next steps.

2. In the bowl of a mixer, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar and Cool Whip using the whisk attachment. Whip until fully combined and spread over the crust.

3. In a large bowl, mix pudding mix and milk until pudding is thickened. Spread over cream cheese layer. Top with additional Cool Whip and refrigerate several hours until firm.

Note:

For a bigger crowd, double the ingredients and put in a 9 x 13" pan.

Three of my granddaughters spent the night this weekend, and we won't tell their parents about the saying on their shirts. They were fresh from their shower and then on to fun things.....shhhhh!
