Jelly Roll Extraordinaire

So the Gunderson's are our next door neighbors/new bff. Their names are Ryan and Joselyn and their really cool. Thankfully we've hit it off and it's really nice to have friends who are in our ward and share a wall with us. They are proud owners of Maddie, the Boston Terrier. Also, Ryan likes to surf so Brandon now has a surfing buddy at about his level. Anyway, since we're all stuck at home because of the fires Joselyn came over and we made dessert. It was grand. We took a jelly roll recipe and added ice cream instead of jelly (thank you Benihana). We call in an ice cream roll.
Here is proof. We did half strawberry half vanilla and the recipe follows.


This is Joselyn spreading ice cream.


The finished product


Hmm... with berry sauce...
