Food, Crafts and Fun
If you love Deviled Eggs and Pasta Salad, this is a delicious combination of both. I’m pretty sure I ate almost the entire batch – it was that good. I changed the recipe a little bit. Last summer we made Bread and Butter Pickles that are amazing. We sliced up Walla Walla Sweet onions and […]

Last year Camilla at Culinary Adventures with Camilla rallied some blogging friends to help her celebrate her 15th wedding anniversary. She was only looking for fifteen cheesecake recipes. But we posted waaaaaay more than #FifteenCheesecakes. It was such a hit and we all had so much fun that she decided to see if she could […]

Deviled Eggs are one of those things that I make all the time. My son loves them and couldn’t probably eat them every day. I just assume everyone knows how to make them since I’ve been making them since… forever. But over the years I’ve discovered not everyone feels the same about deviled eggs. I […]

It’s hard to believe it’s the first Monday of March. I know I’ve said this before, but seriously, where has the time gone? On Thursday my baby girl turns 11. ELEVEN! It feels like just last week that I was holding her in my arms and rocking her to sleep. Now, at 4′ 8″ tall, […]

Classified Employees Week starts on Monday. We make a lot of Teacher Appreciation Gift Ideas to say thank you my kid’s teachers. But we can’t forget about all the other staff at school that make a difference in our kids lives. All of the instructional assistants, custodians, cafeteria workers and secretaries need a thank you […]

If you know me at all, you know I love holidays! I love making fun food on April Fool’s Day, green food on St. Patrick’s Day and absolutely anything Spring-y or colorful for Easter. So when the Secret Recipe Club put out an all call for and extra reveal day to help celebrate St. Patrick’s […]

Life has been super stressful around here lately and what better to serve than delicious comfort food. That makes everything better, right? Anyone? Well, it’s either that or a 1 pound box of chocolates. This recipe is an amazing cross between a delicious, cheesy lasagna and the ease of spaghetti. It’s perfect! Cook your spaghetti […]

Years ago someone told me the perfect “cure” for dry skin is to rub baby oil on your skin after a shower, before you dry off. Genius idea, actually, and I’ve been doing it ever since. Then, one day I discovered sugar scrub. It’s a loofah and moisturizer in one and man, oh, man, it’s […]

Valentine’s Day kind of snuck up on us this year. Every year we try to make our own Valentine’s for my daughter’s class. (My son is in middle school now and said he’s too old for Valentine’s. Sigh.) But, on the plus side, that’s 30 less Valentine’s that we have to come up with and make. […]

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and what better way to spread a little Valentine’s Day cheer to your kids than with lunch box notes. I love lunch box notes, and better yet, my daughter loves lunch box notes. We’ve made quite a few different kinds. You can check them out here. To print […]

I can’t believe it’s the middle of October and I haven’t even posted a Halloween recipe or crafts yet. Ugh. Life is a little overwhelming right now but I’ve decided to kick it into gear and get my Halloween on. So the first Halloween recipe for this year is for Candy Corn Cookies. Aren’t they […]
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 […]
We’re taking a little break from all of our holiday desserts to bring you a dinner idea. Crazy, right? Not so much if you know me. I just love making fun foods for my kids and with Easter coming up, I thought these Sloppy Joe Baskets would be fun to serve for dinner. They look […]
Angry birds seem to be the thing right now. When we were trick or treating there were so many houses that had Angry Bird pumpkins. They were super cool. So when I saw this cute sandwich over on Jill’s blog, Kitchen Fun with My Three Sons, this just seemed like the perfect fun meal. And […]
My daughter’s pre-school class has been learning Japanese all year. It’s so cool to hear her speak and she is so proud when she comes home and tells me the new words she has learned. At the school’s Spring Fling Bar-B-Que her class sang “Jesus Loves Me” in Japanese! In Japanese!!! She’s 5 years old! […]
In keeping with our fun food theme we made these cute sloppy Joe cars. What do you think? (You didn’t miss our other fun food posts, did you? Octodogs and Shells, Aliens for dinner and our Squiddlers.) These were simple to make and will be a big hit with the kids. You will need: * […]
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, […]
This is my attempt at making a Thanksgiving cookie. I was planning on making all kinds of cute little turkey cookies but instead I decided to throw myself down the stairs and mess up my ankle. I know. Turkey cookies or the emergency room? Is it a tough choice? Apparently it was for me. I […]
