Easy Homemade Ice Cream

Its been really hot in Oklahoma this summer.

That's why we made homemade ice cream!

My Aunt Reb taught me how.

First, gather the ingredients.

Put them in a bag and shake, shake, shake! 

After shaking about 5 minutes, put the ice cream in a bowl and eat it up!!

You can add your owns toppings ...

Delicious!

Grilled Cheese & Homemade Tomato Soup

Sunday is my birthday.  

In our family, we get to choose our favorite meal for our birthday dinner.  

My favorite is grilled cheese and homemade tomato soup.  

You will learn how to make that today!

First, gather your ingredients.

(Recipe is at the end of this post.)

Next, butter your bread, add the cheese and grill your sandwich.

Grill it until its golden brown and the cheese is melty.

Serve it with tomato soup.

I like to dip my sandwich in my soup.

Its sooooo good!
