Roberta’s Yummy Ice Pops
Hey everyone! Roberta here with a bit of a funny story to share. So Molly dropped Millie off yesterday because she had to head to the library with Polly, and I (foolishly?) agreed to babysit while she was gone. Everything started off great! I told Millie that we were going to make our very own ice pops. She was super-excited! I told her that we were going to put some berries, yogurt and sugar into the blender and mix it up. She added the ingredients, but I realized that we didn’t have quite enough sugar. I told her to wait a sec while I got it from the pantry. Unfortunately, Millie didn’t quite understand. And that’s why she pressed the ‘blend’ button while I was out of the room. And while the lid was noticeably missing from the blender. And that’s why part of the kitchen wall is now a very nice violet-pink color. Anyway, I cleaned up as best I could and we tried the recipe again (with me standing right next to Millie the WHOLE time) and thankfully the pops turned out fantastically. My mom wasn’t too thrilled about the new wall color, but I figure … Read more

To make one of your own, visit the W Shop and pick up something blue, something cheesy and something that’s flat. A very refreshing food is the Astormishing Sandwich. To make one, get something watery, something sticky, and something that comes sliced. Finally, how about a stove recipe? I love Chortletorte! To make this, visit the W Shop and pick up a cake bunnies like, something that’s brown on the outside and white on the inside, and something sweetly sour – and pink! Enjoy!

Fancy Flower Sandwiches
Millie’s party is coming up really soon, so it’s time to start preparing the food and getting the decorations ready! Since it’s almost springtime, I figured I’d make some adorable flower sandwiches. They’re so easy to make – and very cute. Here’s what you do: Make your sandwich. Millie likes tuna salad and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, so that’s what we’ll be having at her party. Cut the sandwich out with a cookie cutter. You’ll want to use a cookie cutter that doesn’t have any really small parts (it might rip the bread when you cut it out). Because I’m making flower sandwiches, I’m going to garnish the middle of the peanut butter and jelly ones with cherries, and the tuna ones with olives! Put the sandwiches in the fridge until it’s time for the party. Make sure to wrap them well!
