yum.



My friend Katie taught me {and our young women} how to make freezer jam this week. I've loved smearing my toast in this delicious stuff all weekend. It's surprisingly easy so I made a double-batch this afternoon. I can't wait to try all kinds of varieties like mixed berry & raspberry peach this summer!

And then these {Thin Mints & Carmel Delights} showed up on my doorstep Saturday afternoon which made for a scrumptious weekend.

The jam looks delicious! Robert will be hounding me to make some, too!
The Girl Scouts have hit us, too! Low fat Samoa ice cream was in the store this week, too!

Homemade jam is the best...now just get Wes to make some homemade bread and you could eat that for days!

MMMMMM.....I love strawberry jam. I ALWAYS have a batch of it in my freezer. It's nice to have an instant gift on hand (everyone always loves it), and we love to eat it on toast, waffles, and especially crepes! I make peach jam every summer and that is just as good too!

Isn't it funny how food can make a weekend just that much better? Nothing beats thin mints straight from the fridge.
