Yummy!

This is dutch oven pineapple upside down cake. It was soooo yummy, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the warm cake.

Steen taught the Boy Scouts at church a little lesson about dutch oven cooking. I off course had to test out the recipe ahead of time to make sure it was good enough for the scouts...and it was!

We love cookies!

We love to make cookies at the Jensen house. I try to find every excuse to whip up a batch. We recently got new neighbors and I thought they would enjoy a plate of goodies from us. (There's my excuse!) Daniel was my little helper and did a great job at putting the M & M's on top of the cookies. While we were making them he asked, "Mom, aren't you going to take some pictures of me baking cookies?" So as per Daniel's request, here are some pics of my little baker Daniel!

Super Apple Pie

For Christmas Steen got me this. Some of you may be thinking it's a silly gift. No way, tonight we made the apple pie of all apple pies. Thanks to an episode of Good Eats that Steen watched a few weeks I am now an expert on apple pie. You can be too. Links and recipe to follow.
