Food, Crafts and Fun
It’s Teacher Appreciation Week next week! Did you remember? It’s not too late to show some love to your child’s teachers. And I’m a big believer in letting teachers and school employees know that they are appreciated. That’s a tough, tough job! We made these giant pencils back in 2012 and I loved them so […]

I love No Bake Cookies so when I saw this recipe over on The Recipe Rebel, I knew they were going to be delicious! There’s something about the combination of chocolate, peanut butter and butterscotch chips. Kind of like our Chex Scotcharoos but Eastery. (That’s a word, right?) These cookies are perfect for Easter! They […]

Tomorrow’s April Fool’s Day and I can’t believe I haven’t made a single fun food recipe. How is that even possible?!?! I’m going to blame it on the fact that April Fool’s Day is on a Saturday and we’ve had Spring break this week. You’d think that would give me tons of time to get […]

It’s Girl Scout Cookie time. That time of year that I’m tempted with cookies everywhere I go, even work. They’re everywhere? And how can you resist alal those sweet girls saying “Ma’am, would you like to buy some cookies?” Of course I would! I’m not made of steal! For years my cookie of choice has […]

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and we wanted to treat my kid’s teachers with a little something nice. I think it’s important to teach your kids to do nice things for their teachers. It can be a pretty thankless job at times. We made these cute tags and attached them to car air […]

When you think of Valentine’s day, doesn’t it just scream Red Velvet??? These Red Velvet Cream Cheese Thumbprint Cookies are a new favorite in our house! When my kids and I were raising money to go to Peru I made cookies and sold them at work to my co-workers. It was kind of a win-win […]

Valentine’s day isn’t necessarily my favorite holiday. Like, not really at all. I’m not sure why I have such a hard time with it. It’s a good Holiday. Right? It’s all about hearts and love…. Regardless of how I feel, I try to make it a special day for my kids. I make special Valentine’s […]

Red Velvet anything is one of my Dad’s favorite desserts. I’ve made him Red Velvet Cheesecake Bars and Red Velvet Pound Cake, both of them were amazing. But for Christmas this year I wanted to make him these Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies. They looked so delicious! And so festive, don’t you think? Perfect for the holidays […]

We have had the strangest weather here in Oregon this winter. And by strange I mean, it’s been cold. Like, COLD COLD! We’ve had snow and freezing rain when we normally have rain. Fifty degree rain. Not thirty one degree rain. We don’t really know what to do in weather like this so we’ve had […]

Normally when I look at Sue’s blog I sit back and think “Man, why can’t I do that?!” She is amazing and so talented when it comes to baking and decorating the cutest cookies ever. Then I saw this post and thought “holy smokes, I can do that!” I was so excited! I’m always looking […]
In keeping with our fun food theme we made these cute sloppy Joe cars. What do you think? (You didn’t miss our other fun food posts, did you? Octodogs and Shells, Aliens for dinner and our Squiddlers.) These were simple to make and will be a big hit with the kids. You will need: * […]
Do your kids watch iCarly on Nickelodeon? My kids love it. One of the things that Spencer (one of the characters) makes is spaghetti tacos. My kids have been asking me to make them for some time but I just never did. They didn’t sound all that appetizing to me. Spaghetti in a taco shell? […]
Because, really… isn’t everything better on a stick? Heck yeah! And how cute are these little mummy heads? I just loved them. We gobbled up our Mummy Twinkie Pops (holy smokes, were they good!) And we wanted to do another fun mummy treat this Halloween so we decided on these. Mummy Oreo Suckers Source: How […]
The other day my son said to me “Mom, we should have every Saturday dinner a fun dinner. You know, like the Aliens and race cars that we had.” Bless him. I love that they want to help me in the kitchen and eat fun things. So we decided to make something similar to our […]
To continue our April Fools Day fun food extravaganza, we have a simple but fun one for you today – Peanut Butter Potstickers. They don’t totally look like potstickers, but my kids didn’t care. They loved them. And they were so simple to make. Thanks Party Pinching for this great idea. What you’ll need: * […]
We’re taking a little break from all of our holiday desserts to bring you a dinner idea. Crazy, right? Not so much if you know me. I just love making fun foods for my kids and with Easter coming up, I thought these Sloppy Joe Baskets would be fun to serve for dinner. They look […]
This may not look like much but let me tell you… it is delicious! My kids and I love root beer floats and have seen a lot of homemade popsicles out there that claim to be rootbeer floats, but they are imposters. Thanks to Almost Unschoolers for this amazing find because here is a real […]
