The girls all had a fun time making them and they can't wait to wear them to school on the same day!  We got this idea from my niece who made these at a party a few years ago.  We thought they were so cute that we wanted to try them at our party this year.  We bought black flip flops for every girl from Old Navy, for $2.50 a pair.  I would recommend going a size larger in flip flops.  We bought 3 packs of 500 water balloons and had plenty of water balloons left over, perfect for a water balloon fight!

Roasted Cauliflower Soup I absolutely LOVE roasted cauliflower.  The roasting process adds amazing flavor - I could eat it all the time, yes even as a snack!  My children all love it too.  I know kids aren't supposed to love vegetables, but I am convinced that's because they are all too familiar with soggy, overcooked vegetables, lacking all of their natural sweetness and flavor.  I wanted to make a soup using the roasted cauliflower that we all love so much.  I tried to get a photo of the first batch of soup, but my family ate it up so quickly, I never got the chance!  After another batch of soup, I was able to snap a shot.  I hope you enjoy this delicious soup!    2 heads cauliflower, cut into florets 1 onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, crushed 8 cups chicken or vegetable broth (or use water and bouillon granules) Salt and fresh ground pepper 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules milk or half and half for thinning soup Toss caul...

Darn. Good.  I love to serve roasted cauliflower along side roasted or grilled meats.  Enjoy!    1 lb. cauliflower or 1 large head, cut into florets 2 tablespoon olive oil coarse salt and fresh ground pepper Place rinsed and dried cauliflower florets on large rimmed baking sheet and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.  Place in 450 degree oven for 20 minutes or until edges are browned and crispy and stalks are tender when pierced with a fork.  Serve along side almost anything!

I got the inspiration for this sandwich from Real Mom Kitchen a couple of weeks ago, she made just Pesto Chicken, which I thought sounded great, but I wanted to take it a step further and make it into an awesome sandwich.
