Friday Nights

After a long week at work, it sometimes can be a challenge to make big plans for a Friday night, especially when it comes to entertaining guests. How can there possibly be any time to pick a menu, make a trip to the grocery store and schedule time for cooking or baking after just completing a 40+ hour work week (and not to mention, being a cook still very much in training)? So, this past Friday, when my sister-in-law and her boyfriend came to visit, I opted for a meal out and dessert back at our house. And since this week at work was especially draining, I grabbed a gallon of ice cream, some of our favorite toppings and our new dessert bowls from Crate & Barrel (see below) for an instant fun and delicious dessert - ice cream sundaes! My favorite toppings are caramel syrup and gummy bears. What's yours?
