Just Desserts at Christmas
Our children and grandchildren were with us for the holidays and enjoyed all the traditional foods that we’ve been preparing for years but this year I tried a new dessert in the week after Christmas. My daughter, Kristin, declared it the best ever! Try our recipe for peppermint ice cream sandwiches! I’ll post the recipe now and add pictures later. I prepare and photograph everything on this site and it’s too tempting to have these delicious ice cream sandwiches in the freezer when I’m trying to lose a few pounds.
