I’ve made a lot of different kinds of pound cake over the years. Most have been pretty good. A few have been amazing and one or two, eh… not so much. But this recipe for Double Caramel Pound Cake? Oh my heck! It’s definitely in the amazing category! The cake is moist and the frosting […]

If you haven’t noticed yet, I’m not much of a cake maker. I love cake, don’t get me wrong. But for some reason it’s not something I make very often. (Unless it’s pound cake. That’s a whole different ballgame.) I think it’s because I think I’ll end up eating it all myself. And the fact […]

I have mixed emotions about school starting. I love the routine and I love my job so I’m happy. But I also love summer. Maybe even more than having a routine. I waffle back and forth. But my kids are excited for school to start up again. I’m pretty thankful about that! Working in the […]

Warm cinnamon rolls in the morning are one of my favorite things. When they’re covered with cream cheese frosting and filled with gooey cinnamon I just can’t help myself. So when I saw this recipe on Lemon Tree Dwelling I instantly saved it. We had a family beach trip planned and I knew my family […]

Do you call them Magic Bars or Seven Layer Bars? I’m not totally sure what the difference is or if there is one. I went with Magic Bars because they don’t really have 7 layers so that didn’t seem right. And Magic Bars? Well, that just fits. They are delicious! Anything covered in sweetened condensed […]

Yep, we have another Slime Recipe for you today. We’ve made Fluffy Slime which has a “floam-like” consistency. Years ago we made the “original” slime recipe using Borax. But with all the hype about Borax in the news, we like making slime without it. So today we bring you… Glass Slime, or Clear Slime. Please […]

I don’t know about you, but for us, summer is flying by. It’s almost time for school to start back up and I can honestly say, I’m not ready. I’m not ready for the early alarm clocks, helping with homework and, well, going back to work. I like having the summers to enjoy my kids […]

When I was growing up my step-mom was a horrible cook. I’m not exaggerating at all on this one. It was pretty bad. Everything was over cooked or bland. She did have two things she made that were good – hamburger gravy and what she called “Gooey Bars”. When I went away to college […]

This is one of those recipes that you can make at home in your oven and is delicious. Or you can make this outside over a campfire and it’s to die for. Doesn’t all food taste better when your camping? I think so. Case in point – I’d never eat a hotdog at home. But […]

Did you read the title and think “what the heck?” If you did, you’re not alone. When I first heard of roasting Starburst candies over the campfire I was pretty skeptical. Number one, there’s no chocolate so that usually rules me out. And number two, what the heck? How would that even work??? But when […]
We made cookies like this years ago and I remember my kids loved it. It’s like playing with play doh but the end result isn’t cleaning everything up and putting it away. The end result here is eating them! What kid (or adult) wouldn’t be pleased with that outcome? The kids had so much fun […]
I had all these grand plans to do great things this Easter. Some of them got done but a lot of them are still in my “to do” pile. Crud. At 6am when I was getting ready to pack my kid’s lunch for school I remembered I wanted to pack their lunch a little differently. […]
Here is an easy and fun treat for the kids. They didn’t turn out as cool as I had hoped. I think it was because there was so many bubbles in our 7 Up. But the kids didn’t seem to mind. PrintGummy Bear Popsicles Ingredients7 Up Gummy BearsInstructionsLet your 7 Up sit out for […]
This was one of my first posts (and it’s a pretty poorly done one.) So I thought I would repost this. It’s one of my son’s favorite meals and he asks for it all the time. I’m not sure if he likes eating the hot dogs and noodles or if it’s just the way he […]
I’m always on the search for fun foods to make for me… I mean my kids. Ah heck, who am I foolin’. I’d make these adorable scooter snacks even if I didn’t have kids. They are so cute. And all the ingredients that I love! Adorable, right? I found this in the August 2010 edition […]
One of the best things I’ve done with my kids is taking them camping. I was a little afraid the first time we went. It was just me and my two, very young, children. We had so much fun. Now, 5 years later, it’s the highlight of our summer when we go camping. We load […]
I remember making this years and years ago for a friend’s children. It was pretty cool (I thought) so my kids and I thought we would make it again for some friends. It’s super easy and it’s fun to do! What you will need: * any kind of clear bowl. We used a fish bowl […]
