Food, Crafts and Fun
I'm always looking for fun gift ideas for my kid's teachers or my co-workers. This one is adorable. And the best part? I didn't even have to make it. It was on my desk when I came to school (work) this morning. What a treat! You can fill it with whatever you would like. Customize it if you know what kinds of candy they like or even coordinate colored candy. I'm thinking red and green for Christmas and even orange and black for Halloween. … [Continue reading...]
These just might be my new favorite cookies! My friend said "these are the best cookies I've had in my entire life!" Seriously! She said that. They have a slight crisp around the edges and are super soft in the middle. Just they way I like my cookies. The white chocolate also adds the perfect touch. We also made these for Valentine's Day last year. (And every other holiday!) Ginger cookies seem like the perfect Holiday cookie. They spices scream Christmas! These cookies have all … [Continue reading...]
Show of hands… who’s ready for Christmas? I don’t mean ready, ready. I mean ready for the fun to begin? I am! I love, love, love Christmas time. But before we get to Christmas we have to have Thanksgiving. I don’t really love this holiday. I love the time. My kids and I go to […]

Last year both of my kids were in middle school. Between the two of them, they had 12 teachers. Twelve! Needless to say, Teacher Appreciation Week was a tad stressful for us, trying to come up with ideas that were cute but didn’t break the bank. I thought this idea was perfect! You could make […]

I am always looking for great teacher gift ideas to give to my kid’s teachers and my co-workers. I believe that it’s important to say thanks to the people who are teaching our children. Don’t you? Teacher Appreciation Week begins May 7th. Have you thought about gift ideas yet? I saw this idea over on […]

I’m kind of in love with the magazine Family Fun. For years it’s been delivered to my door and I love looking through all the crafts and recipes. As my kids get older I’m finding most of the crafts are for younger kids, but the recipes? I don’t care how old my kids are. Fun […]

Have you ever heard of Seafoam Candy? It seems like a beach thing here in Oregon. Everytime we go to the beach and to the candy store, we buy Seafoam. It’s delicious and crunchy and, if made right, melts in your mouth. We decided we wanted to give it a try and I’m super glad […]

Chocolate, peanut butter and butterscotch makes this dessert one of our favorites! This recipe is similar to the Chex Scotcharoos we made a while back. We decided to use crispy cereal rather than Chex cereal and we dipped them in the chocolate mixture. (You can never have too much chocolate. Am I right?!) We found […]

We made these delicious cookies at Christmas tine but I forgot to post about them. Oops. They were so good and everyone loved them. So why not change the sprinkles and make them for Valentine’s Day. Right? I mean really, any excuse to make cookies! These cookies are surprisingly delicious. And by surprisingly I mean, people […]

Chips and Dips are one of my weaknesses. They are comfort food to me and if I let myself, I could eat them everyday for lunch or dinner. I don’t, of course. That would be crazy. But sometimes I wish I could. A co-worker brought this delicious dip to one of our potlucks and I […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Magic banana? Yep, magic banana. Well, magic banana trick maybe. I guess the banana itself isn’t magic. Or maybe it is. Either way, your kids will think you are magic! Are you ready??? Your going to give your kids bananas and say “abracadabra” and then poof – their banana will be already sliced inside the […]
I know today is November 1st and Breast Cancer Awareness month was October but I just had to share this one with you. Plus today is “Wear Pink” day at my school. So, of course I had to bring cookies to help celebrate! And not just any cookies… Mammo-graham cookies. Ha! Get it?! Mammo – […]
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 […]
