This week I had my 3rd ankle surgery; this time to remove all of the existing hardware in preparation of a full ankle replacement (hopefully 6 months from now). Not being able to walk or even cook like I used to without being in pain for the last 4 years has been a bit challenging to say the least, but I do the best I can.. just a little bit slower. I've been able to experiment with some new recipes to get through the next several weeks while I'm recuperating so continue to look for the weekly newsletter. You can also check out the website to search for something specific or check out our Social Media pages like Facebook, Instagram, X and Pinterest for more inspiration.  I truly appreciate all of you being here.   ICYMI--I fell in 2021 and shattered all three major bones my left ankle into hundreds of pieces and broke my right ankle: https://www.facebook.com/CarriesExperimentalKitchen/posts/5974354212578373   To get the recipe ingredients and directions, click on the recipe name, image or text 'get recipes'; which will take you to the original post.

It was so creamy, not to mention easy to make, I'm a 14 year old so I made it for my family. One of my family members said it was really rich, but the rest of us couldn't stop eating it! I let it freeze for about five hours, and there was some left over that I froze overnight and it was great the next day! Thanks for the recipe!!"~Hannah.
