Food, Crafts and Fun
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? […]

I don’t know how I got so lucky. When I started blogging I never dreamed people would actually read my posts. I can’t believe how lucky I am. You all are so amazing and give me such great inspiration! I have been truly blessed with so many awards it makes my head swell =o) I […]

Yep, you read that right – Cheryl’s Stinky Cheese Ball. I got the recipe from Cheryl and she calls this her Stinky Cheese Ball. I work with Cheryl. She is a hoot! She is dry and sarcastic and the right amount of crude. I just love her. Twice a year she brings this to work […]

Christmas is over. I can hardly believe it. All the preparation and anticipation and it’s done so quickly. We had a great Christmas. It wasn’t super eventful but that’s how we like it. We played games and hung out with family. My kids said it was their best Christmas ever. That was all I needed. […]

Merry Christmas Eve! I can’t believe it’s here! The year has flown by. All the preparation and anticipation and it’s finally here. My kids are bouncing they are so excited! I haven’t done my blogging justice this holiday season. With both of my kids getting sick and me falling we haven’t done nearly as much […]

I saw these and thought they were pretty darn cute. I had been looking for a craft to do with my kids at our Christmas party but needed something fairly easy (there will be little ones there) but not “dorky” that the 7 year olds would like it too. A task harder than it sounds. […]

I can’t believe the 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies Blog Hop is over. Twelve weeks! I have had so much fun baking along with all of you. It’s been great to see everyone’s creations and find so many new recipes that I can’t wait to try. I’m honored to have been a part of this […]

Christmas is going to be here in less that 2 weeks and I have nothing. No new craft ideas, no new recipes. I’m scrambling around trying to fit everything in before I implode from the stress of it all. I know, how sad is that, right? Work is so crazy right now. I work in […]

Have you ever been to Shari’s Restaurant? I’m not sure if it’s a local type chain or if it’s all around the US. We don’t go there often but awhile ago they were having a deal where kids ate free on the weekends. Needless to say, we were there every weekend while that deal was […]

Every year at my work we do a Christmas Fudge Throwdown. The staff room is filled with different types of fudge and the staff vote for their favorite. It’s all in good fun but some of the staff get pretty into it. By some of the staff I mean me. I’m the one who starts […]

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 […]
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 […]
Yep, another Thanksgiving-ish recipe. I told you we were going to rock the Holidays! (If you missed that post, you can check it out here.) And after our delicious Pumpkin Spice Fudge, we needed a kid friendly crafty kind of dessert to make. Can you get any more kid friendly or crafty with these Turkey […]
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 […]
I’ve decided that I’m a little bored with cooking. I make the same basic things for dinners and I’m getting tired of it. Dinner should be fun, right? So that’s our new theme for the summer. Fun food! So we bought a couple of fun kid’s cookbooks. This is the first thing we made – […]
What do you think of Twinkies? I think people either love them or hate them. I love them. I’m not sure why. If I think about it too long I start to question my love of spongy yellow cake and frosting. So I don’t think about it for too long =o) For awhile, years ago, […]
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 […]
A friend of mine at work bought this amazingly awesome ice cube tray mold for me. I thought it was a giant compliment when she said “I saw this and thought of you.” Seriously! How cool is that! I love it when people see weird but extremely cool things and actually think of me. What […]
