A co-worker of mine introduced me to this salad a couple of years ago. I think it’s one of my favorite salads of all time. I make a big batch of it and eat it, seriously, for breakfast, lunch and dinner! It’s crunchy and full of flavor! Ingredients: * 1 cup Miracle Whip * 1/4 […]

This has got to be one of my absolute, most favorite desserts of all time. It’s amazing! Not too sweet and completely satisfying! This is also one of my Dad’s favorites! I made this for him a couple of years ago for Christmas and it quickly went on his wish list for Christmas, his birthday […]
[Continue reading...]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 […]

This just looks “Spring-y” doesn’t it? Kind of Easter-y (but it’s now past Easter so we’re going with Spring-y) =o) When I saw this recipe I thought my kids would love it. They love marshmallows. Especially my daughter. She could eat a bowl full of marshmallows for dessert. Yuck. I mean, I love chocolate and […]
[Continue reading...]Have you heard of Swagbucks? I’ve heard of it off and on for awhile now but never really looked into it until a couple of months ago. What the heck was I thinking?!?! I should have signed up months (or years) ago and started earning free stuff way back when. I love free stuff! Serious! […]

Here’s another great Teacher Appreciation gift idea. We can’t just do one thing. It’s Teacher Appreciation Week for heaven’s sake =o) And I thought this one was perfect! (Did you check out our candy gram idea too?) We also did this one for the secretaries at my kid’s school for Secretaries Day (yesterday). We can’t […]

I laugh when I hear myself say “back when I (fill in the blank)” because it makes me feel so old. But seriously, a lot has changed in my short 44 years on this planet. But really… back when I started working in the school system, things were different. The parents were different and the […]

Some days I just want something delicious and “comforting” that’s not sweet. I know! Who is this talking? But believe it or not, I would take a big bowl of mashed potatoes or mac and cheese over most desserts. So I stood in the kitchen and was looking through my cupboards and then the freezer […]

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 […]
Owls and Halloween. Who ever decided these two things go together? Well, if you google it (which, of course, we did) it goes way back. Like, way, way back. According to Haunted Bay, the Romans were one of the first cultures that viewed owls as spooky creatures. The owl symbolized death, doom, or destruction and […]
We had so much fun making our Turkey Cookies with Nutter Butters that we wanted to make another Thanksgiving cookie. I think this one turned out much cuter than the other Turkey Cookies! I mean seriously, look at these little guys. too cute! I used the candy eyes which are my new favorite thing to […]
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 […]
Oh, the pressure. My son’s request to make “fun food” every Saturday night for dinner is already getting to me. How do people come up with all these ideas??? Well, however they do it, I’m just grateful they do. That way I can copy them and my kids think I’m amazing =o) Jill over at […]
