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 […]

The weather here in Oregon has been really off the past couple of months. It was stinkin’ hot for awhile and then summer kind of disappeared the end of August. I’m not real happy about it. I LOVE the nice weather. Well, let me rephrase that. I love wearing flip flops and shorts. My wardrobe […]
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? […]
It’s no secret that I love fun food. I love making it. I love serving it to my kids. It makes me smile. So this was right up my alley. And it’s kind of Halloween-y, right? Kind of? This recipe came out of the cookbook Simple 1-2-3 Cooking for Kids. Ingredients: * Jumbo past shells […]
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 seen these things? They are egg molds? Egg what??? Egg molds! I saw them awhile ago and have been wanting to get them to try them out and here they are. Pretty cool looking aren’t they? You’re probably wondering why in the world anyone would want these things though, right? Well, I […]
Our last Halloween post for the season (sniff, sniff) is a simple but fun one – Mummy Pretzels! Cute, right?!?! We found two different versions on the internet, here and here – both adorable. The girls loved making them. I’m pretty sure they ate about 20 eyes a piece before I realized where they all went. […]
This was one of my first posts (and it’s a pretty poorly done one.) So I thought I would repost this. It’s one of my son’s favorite meals and he asks for it all the time. I’m not sure if he likes eating the hot dogs and noodles or if it’s just the way he […]
The aliens are coming! The aliens are coming! I told you that I was going to make dinner time more fun and exciting. How fun is this idea?!?! My kids loved it! This idea came from the cookbook Just For Kids Collection. (If you missed my Octo-Dog post you MUST check it out here!) Here’s […]
