Original Chill Pills {Gift Idea}

Original Chill Pills Gift Idea

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...]

White Chocolate Dipped Gingerdoodles

White Chocolate Dipped Gingerdoodles

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 […]

http://makingmemorieswithyourkids.com/category/teacher-appreciation-gifts/

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 […]

Lucky Charmers - St. Patrick's Day Cookies

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 […]

Chocolate Dipped Seafoam Candy

Seafoam or Honeycomb Candy

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 […]

Scotcheroos Millionaire Nuggets

Scotcheroos Millionaire Nuggets

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 […]

Outrageous Chicken Nacho Cheese Dip

Outrageous Chicken Nacho Cheese Dip

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 […]
