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, […]

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 know. Don’t judge me. You’re thinking “that’s totally gross!” But admit it… you’re next thought is “but totally cool!” Right? Come on, admit it. These cookies are totally gross and totally cool at the same time. That’s why we had to make them. A friend on Facebook posted this link on my wall […]
I have a little thing about vampires. I was about to write “I’m embarrassed to say” but I’m not. What the heck. I’m obsessed. I said it. Seriously, I am. It all started with the Twilight books and has gone a little out of control since. =o) If you need to know a good book […]
This may not look like much but let me tell you… it is delicious! My kids and I love root beer floats and have seen a lot of homemade popsicles out there that claim to be rootbeer floats, but they are imposters. Thanks to Almost Unschoolers for this amazing find because here is a real […]
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 – […]
My daughter saw these wonderful looking treats in her Fancy Nancy Tea Parties book. (Did I mention we LOVE Fancy Nancy?!) Her books are stupendous (that’s fancy for great!) I did an earlier post from this book as well. Click here to see it. So Ellie saw these and said to me “oh, let’s make […]
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 […]
Are these the cutest cookies EVER?!?! Not to toot my own horn. Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t invent this recipe. I just stole it =o) But how could I NOT steal it, right?!?! After I saw this cookie on Raina’s blog The Garden of Yum I knew this was the next cookie I was […]
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 […]
