Let's review our August Cooking and Baking Challenge
I must say I am thrilled to see so many pictures come in and how many of you wrote such wonderful comments about the recipes you tried. I know it was one of the easiest recipes to make. No cooking, no baking but perfect for the summer heat.
This comment sums it up nicely
I've never made ice cream at home because I never knew it was so easy. I just presumed I needed an ice cream maker.
I have been following your blog for such a long time and tried so many recipes from cakes, bread, chicken, and beef. They always work for me.
I knew I wanted to participate in this challenge, and I tried the strawberry and it was so easy to make. I decided to try the Oreo, then the chocolate. Before we could realize, me and the kids were having an ice cream fiesta. Using frozen berries, fruits we made blackberry, mango, and caramel. We even made a coffee and pumpkin.
Thank you so much, Veena for these simple and easy recipes. I'm never buying those ice cream tubs from the super again. You are right, now I know what goes into my kids' ice cream.
This is not only going to save me money but also have fun with the kids. Great project to do with the kids. They loved every minute of it.
I took as many ice cream images you sent to create a few collages. The best way to send in your pictures is by email.
The winner of our August Cooking and Baking Challenge is Pravina Garde who submitted this Pistachio Matcha Ice Cream
Thank you all for your participation, support, and feedback. Appreciate it very much.

The Cinnamon Roll recipe was so much fun..I tried them for the first time today and the taste was just awesome. Quite easy to make too. My family loved it. The best part was they were not very sweet perfect balanced flavor of cinnamon and brown sugar. Totally loved it. Thank you Veena for the amazing recipe...
Veena Azmanov
Thank you, Riddhi. I am so happy your family enjoyed this recipe. Thank you for the feedback
Ruth
This challenge was so fun! I love that you provided so many options for the icing. I'm a huge cream cheese frosting fan, so that was my choice this time, and they were so delicious. I definitely want to make them again and try out the condensed milk version, too. Thanks for the inspiration!
Veena Azmanov
Thank you, Ruth. I am so happy to hear that.

The cooking and baking challenge is such an amazing idea.Especially for people who really need some financial help😂.Plus it makes people reach the peak of creativity.Just made the cinnamon rolls with creamcheese frosting.Can`t tell how delicious it was.As a baker myself,I know how much every tiny detail matters.U put that in all your recipes which makes it so easy to follow and get perfection.My family loved the rolls and mom says I should just open up a bakery😋Felt so so proud honestly, thanks to you
Veena Azmanov
Thank you, Shahina. I am so happy to hear you say this. Thank you for the feedback.

I chose to complete the Easy Cinnamon Rolls Recipe w/ Cream Cheese. I enjoyed making these simple cinnamon rolls. The hardest part was getting my dough to rise inside my home. I had to actually use the natural sun to help the dough rise because it's so hot here in Little Rock, Arkansas. I love this recipe. I'm not a big fan of cream cheese icing, therefore; I left the cream cheese out of the icing recipe. Thanks for sharing Ms. Veena.
Veena Azmanov
Thank you, Dana. I hope you try this soon.

I finally plucked up courage for the September baking challenge🙈I made the cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting. As always, if you just follow the instructions step-by-step and refer to the video and pictures, you will surely end up with a good result! I'm so pleased with my bake. My only challenge was trying to slice the rolls with cotton; I eventually used a knife. Great recipe., Thank you Veena💕
Veena Azmanov
Thank you so much for the lovely comment Lucy-Sarah. I am so happy you are enjoying my recipes and step by step.
