Food, Crafts and Fun
This is, hands down, the best fudge you will ever eat, and believe me, I’ve eaten a lot of fudge. I love it! But again, I love it if it’s delicious. I don’t want it if it’s mediocre. You know what I mean. When it’s waxy or dry or chewy. Fudge isn’t supposed to be […]

A “spiced” up version of Mexican Wedding Cake Cookies that’ll knock your socks off. They’re that good! Do you call them Mexican Wedding Cake Cookies or Russian Tea Cakes or Snowballs? I’ve seen them all over the internet and they all have different names. But the recipe is the same and they are delicious! One […]

When the weather is cold and chilly outside, there’s nothing like good comfort food to warm you up. This Simple Salisbury Steak recipe is easy to make and delicious! My kids are pretty picky eaters so I have a hard time finding a recipe that all three of us love. I wasn’t quite sure when […]

Pecan Pie in bar form? Yes, please! One of my absolute favorite Christmas cookies are Pecan Tassies. My Grandmother used to make them and then my Mom and now me. They bring back great Christmas memories of driving to my Grandparent’s house on Christmas Eve, eating Swiss Cheese Fondue and all the other amazing foods […]

When you think of soup does the word pumpkin ever come to mind? For me? No way. I would never have thought to put pumpkin in soup. I guess it was a good thing I didn’t know what was in it when my Mom had me try this soup years ago. I loved it. I […]

The delicious taste of homemade red raspberry jelly plus cream cheese empanada dough make these little hand pies amazing. It’s with a sad heart I say that this is our last Secret Recipe Club post. I’ve been apart of this great club since August of 2011. Holy smokes. That’s monthly posts for over six years! […]

My daughter has been asking to make Macarons for months. They are her absolute favorite cookie ever. Strange, right? She’s eleven! But anywhere we go that has them, the first thing out of her mouth is, “Mom, look! Macarons! We need to buy some.” It’s not that I haven’t wanted to make them. They just […]

Nothing says Fall like pumpkin. So how about White Chocolate Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies? That screams Fall, right? There’s an extra Monday this month so the Secret Recipe Club decided to put on a Fall secret reveal day – all things Fall. My assigned blog was Savory Moments, written by Amy. Amy’s interest in food sparked in […]

As a kid I loved Halloween. I loved absolutely everything about it. Now, as an adult? Not so much. It’s not the holiday, per se. It’s the craziness that has become Halloween. I live in a neighborhood where everyone comes to trick-or-treat. I’m serious. Everyone! It’s crazy. I used to try to keep up with […]

When I first started working at the middle school the cafeteria sold these amazing No Bake Cookies that were a huge hit with the students and staff. They were huge and only cost $1. Then this silly rule came down from up above that the cafeteria can’t sell giant No Bake Cookies anymore because they […]

Happy 4th of July everyone! What are you doing tonight? I’m going to hope I don’t fry my eyebrows while I watch the amazed looks on my kids face as the fireworks go off. They love fireworks. Well, not the loud ones. =o) When I saw these adorable Corn Dog Cookies over on Sue’s blog, […]
Do they look like hot dogs? Of course they do. But are they? Well, sort of. They’re hot dogs, but not the kind you eat for lunch. You eat these hot dogs for dessert! I found the recipe for these over on The Seven Year Cottage. I changed it up just a little bit. They used […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Our last Halloween post for the season (sniff, sniff) is a simple but fun one – Mummy Pretzels! Cute, right?!?! We found two different versions on the internet, here and here – both adorable. The girls loved making them. I’m pretty sure they ate about 20 eyes a piece before I realized where they all went. […]
I am totally loving all of the great April Fool’s Day things people have posted the past couple of weeks! I love the pranks but mostly I love the fun food. You didn’t miss our Fakin’ and Eggs I hope! (We’re all about fun food at our house!) So we wanted to pack in two […]
Meatloaf and mashed potatoes are comfort food to me. I love them! My kids love them! And I love that my kids love them! But I wanted to kid it up a little. (We eat meatloaf a lot.) So I made my regular meatloaf. It’s nothing uber fancy. I buy the spice packet at the […]
