Maaaaaaahhhmmm...can we have a treat???

I've been on a bit of roll this week - making the kids eat at home, healthier food, not nearly as exciting as something from a drive-thru (to them anyway), so when they asked if they could please have a treat - how could I resist?  Unfortunatly, all we had treat-wise, was some vanilla ice cream....so it was time to be creative.  I found some caramel sauce hiding in the fridge (and some other things that had to go away...they had clearly stayed too long!!!) and we made homemade vanilla whipped cream...yum!

 Keaton has this mastered - first you whip the heavy cream in a cold metal bowl until it forms soft peaks (and yes, he knows what that means!)

 then you add the vanilla...let's start with a capful and then 2 heaping spoons of powdered sugar...maybe just a touch more...

Success - two happy kids, 3 delicious ice cream sundaes and we didn't have to drive anywhere or spend any extra money...not that I wasn't craving Applicious...this just made me crave it less!!!
