Oh, and this isn't a recipe, but it's food related....

For my kids in group the other day, we made HOME MADE ICE CREAM!!!! It was tons of fun. We used the [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F9Z5QK/sr=8-1/qid=1154200143/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-5051684-6511150?ie=UTF8"]Ice Cream Maker Ball[/ame]....and we were able to make up games rolling the ball around, all the while, we were making ice cream with it. They loved it...it was fun...and the ice cream was DELICIOUS! (I believe the recipe we used came with the ball). I think I'm gonna have to get one. It only makes 2 cups at a time, but I think I saw a larger version on Amazon.

The verdict on the sloppy joe pizza...IT'S GOOD! Erik even likes it! It's definitely something kids would like (and probably something they'd like to help with), and I will be making copies and giving it to my group kids' moms. :mrgreen:
