And I Looked And Saw That It Was Good

On the last days of spring you realize that soon, baking in the oven will not be a viable option.  I haven't roasted enough whole chickens this year.  However, I have heavily relied on my oven for months for baking what I called, sheet pan-demic dinners.   I will need a summer replacement idea to incorporate more vegetables, less meat and most importantly, ease of prep using summer produce as the focus.  Chunky chopped salads of every variety come to mind. Yes, and I will call them Kitchen Bowl Salads as they will be filled with everything, except the kitchen sink. Thus it is written.

An ice cream sandwich treat where the packaging is better than the product.  Actually, the brownie was so chocolatey intense and rich, that it overpowered the delicate taste of the vanilla bean ice cream, which was a shame because separately, they were amazing.  A thought would be to buy another bar and make a hot chocolate sauce, cut it in two pieces and make Hot Fudge Brownie Sundaes!
