nothing says happy mothers day like having to plan and cook your own meals. i guess i could have been more pushy about it, but i didn't want to. i wanted a certain kind of beef kebab to bbq, but neither of the butchers that usually carries them had them. actual steak is so expensive it should be a crime, so I reluctantly chose an alternative that was fine.
dessert choosing was no better - i didn't want to make it but couldn't find any pre-made alternatives i liked, and then i didn't have the heart or the energy to make my own, so i let The Girl choose some ice cream from the store, and then last minute i decided to treat myself with some chocolate sauce for the top.
we also had no heavy cream at home, so i needed a super simple recipe - and here it is - Homemade Chocolate Sauce from Bellyful. A short list of ingredients you most likely have on hand, a few minutes at the stove, and boom! you have a delicious sauce to top your store bought cookies and cream ice cream that had barely any cookies in it.
