Happy April Fool’s Day!
My funny family went all out today. My girls even covered my door with balloons so I had a surprise when I opened it this morning! So naturally, I had to surprise them too. I made them a special “dessert” to enjoy before dinner last night. I prepared creamy, thick mashed potatoes and dark brown gravy and presented them scooped in a parfait dish. The final addition? A bright cherry (tomato) on top! Voila you have a Mashed Potato Ice Cream Sundae for April Fool’s Day!
My girls loved it and I hope your kids will love this April Fool’s food prank too!
