Food, Crafts and Fun
We seem to be on a cinnamon roll. Ha! Get it… cinnamon roll. Cinnamon roll? Oh man. It’s early. I haven’t had enough sleep and I’m getting rummy. But what do I do when I’m super tired and my kids won’t let me sleep? I bake. Yep. I know, it’s crazy. But I do. Have […]

If you know me at all you know that I love the beach. I’m not sure what it is about the beach – the calming noise of the ocean, the smell of the beach and clean air, the feel of the warm sand on my feet. Maybe it’s a combination of all of that. I’ve […]

It’s no secret that my kids and I have a thing for cinnamon rolls. We made homemade cinnamon rolls, cinnamon roll bites with maple frosting and cinnamon roll pancakes (all super yum!) So when I saw these cinnamon roll cookies over on Everyday Sisters I was so excited. They looked delicious and super easy to […]

Have you entered my Disney Family Fun magazine giveaway? If not, you can enter here! I don’t even know what to say about this recipe except… IT’S UNBELIEVABLE!!! I am totally serious. It’s one of the best desserts I’ve had in quite awhile. (I use dessert kind of loosely… I had it for breakfast a […]

It’s month two for me and the Secret Recipe Club. Last month was so much fun. I loved seeing what everyone made and finding so many new great recipes and blogs! What is the Secret Recipe Club? If you missed my Mt. Bachelor Bars from last month you’re missing out! then I’d better tell you […]

If you read my other post on lunch box notes you know that my daughter loves to have little notes in her lunch box. And if I re-use one she comes home and says “you already put that in my lunch, Mom.” And sometimes she even gives me a “duh, did you forget?” What the? […]

Have you ever been to the Oregon Coast? It’s my favorite place to go – summer or winter. We love everything about it. We hit our favorite places every time we go there: Cannon Beach Bakery, Bruce’s Candy Kitchen, the cookie store. You get the idea. For some reason the sweet tooth comes out when […]

I received an invitation a little while back from Tina from Mom’s Crazy Cooking asking me if I wanted to participate in the Crazy Cooking Challenge she is hosting. Let’s see… crazy… cooking… challenge… yes, please! I’m always game for something crazy (or is that cooking???) The challenge this month is Macaroni and Cheese. We […]

I’ve seen these around blogland for awhile now and wondered if they would be good or just plain weird. My daughter loves corn dogs. So would she love these??? So I hopped on over to My Kitchen Adventures to see what I needed to do. How simple!!! I used a Corn Bread Muffin mix (the […]

I have a confession to make. You know those little recipe books that you always see in the check out stand? They are usually themed – Halloween, Christmas, cookies, crockpot recipes. You know the ones. I am addicted to them. Yep, I said it out loud. I love them. I love looking through them and […]
Halloween means fun food, right? At least in our house it does. I have to spice it up a little for my kids. So how could I not make these bloody band aide cookies??!! I saw these over on Pinterest (who got them from Katherine Marie Photography.) Do you pin? If not, you are so […]
For Halloween do you do silly fun or gory? We always do silly fun but I do like a little bit of the gross. So when I saw these cupcakes over on Pinterest (my new love) from Cakehead Loves Evil I knew we had to make them. Totally cool, right?!?! We made stained glass candy […]
So what do you think? Have we been doing it up, Thanksgiving style? (Maybe not if you’re a grown up. But we don’t really have one of those in our house.) =o) But my kids have loved all the fun treats we’ve made so far. We tried our first Turkey Cookie. Then we sugar-ed it […]
I’m not even sure I can type this post. I’m laughing too hard. ‘Cause seriously… this meal cracked me up. But even more hysterical than these totally adorable weenie men (that I found over on Casa de Luna) is the conversation that I had with my son. Are you ready for this??? My son: […]
Have you ever seen this before? Is it the strangest thing ever?!?! It looks like it should be in some Star Wars movie or something. (Or do I just not get out enough???) I saw this over at the local fruit and veggie stand. It’s awesome! (The stand, that it.) I wasn’t sure what it […]
Have you ever just wanted to give someone a finger??? Not the finger… a finger. Ha! I crack myself up sometimes. (I’m hoping that’s not a bad thing….) I found this great finger pan from Wilton last Halloween but never got a chance to use it. So it was calling our name from the […]
Tag! I’m it! Yeah! I love to play games. I’m a kid at heart. I’ll admit it. So when Tiffanee over at One Crazy Cookie tagged me, I was thrilled and honored. Thrilled because, like I said, I like to play =o) And honored because I love her blog. She posts the best recipes! What […]
