Chocolate chip cookies

I made these chocolate chip cookies today.  Here is the recipe for these Yummy chocolate chip cookies . I didn't have any brown chocolate chips, so I substituted white chocolate chips and used 3/4 of the recommeded amount and they turned out great! They were a hit at my mom's work party!

Blackberry heaven

This is Nutmeg's sister. I'm taking over her blog while she is at sleep away camp. This is a picture of my yogurt creation, which I am calling Blackberry Heaven.  It is plain Greek yogurt, vanilla and fresh blackberries. I smooshed the berries with a fork and stirred them up well. That turned the yogurt a pinkish-purple color.  In the picture, I smooshed just one blackberry and dragged in around in a circle.  Pretty, right? I bet Nutmeg is going to be really mad at me for posting this. Ha ha!

Tasty Cucumber Salad - Nutmeg

Today I made cucumber salad all by myself for our dinner. It has a sour taste from the plain Greek yogurt, but it's still good. I like scooping out the guts of the cucumber. It doesn't take long to make this salad. And it's great on a summer day for a dinner side dish.  Cucumbers and dill are in season right now, so you can make it from your garden (if you have one).  I rate it 4 1/2 stars (out of 5) so try it some time.

Ice Cream Sundae's!

Ice Cream! You Scream! We all Scream for Ice Cream! One problem it's a sundae. This weekend we were camping and when we were coming back we saw (and tasted) something amazing... The Washington house, also known as... The birthplace of the Ice Cream Sundae!

The Washington House is an extraordinary place filled with old timey antiques to Ballroom display's. Plus there's an Ice Cream store built right in!

Two Rivers is an amazing place and you should definitely visit not only because of  it's amazing  but also it's a learning experience for all, and you get Ice Cream Sundae's at the birthplace of them! This was such a heartwarming experience that Ice Cream sitting ten feet away from this place would melt. Have a great day! -Ginger :)

Lemonade!

Guess what! All of us made homemade lemonade. It was so tasty. :)  Here's how.

What you need:
3 big lemons or 8 small lemons
3 c of cold water
1/2 c sugar
Ice

What you do:
1. Roll the lemons
2. Cut the lemons in half
3. Juice the lemons. You should have 1 c of juice.
4. Add the water and the sugar.
5. Stir
6. Taste and add what you need to your desire (sugar, water).
7. Add ice and enjoy!

It's not as yellow as lemonade you buy in the store, but it is even more tasty. It makes you think why would I ever buy the powdered kind? We sold our lemonade and made $14! Our customers said they loved it!  -- Nutmeg.
