Jayden’s Pasta

Hi, it’s me… Kay. You remember me, right? Vaguely? This here is J-man’s all-time favorite pasta sauce. Mine too, but that’s probably due to all the vegetables that make it chockfull of flavor.

          Cookies and Cream (Haägen Dazs Copycat)

          Here’s a wee bit unorthodox recipe for a copycat version of J-man’s (and mine) all-time favorite ice cream: Haägen-Dazs Cookies & Cream.
