Food, Crafts and Fun
It’s that time again. The first Monday of the month which means is time for the Secret Recipe Club reveal. I love this day. It’s a day when a group of bloggers post a recipe from a “secret” blog that they’ve been assigned. It’s a great opportunity to find new blogs (or re-visit old favorites) […]

Winter in Oregon means rain – lots and lots of rain! After awhile it starts to drive me crazy. Everything is wet and soggy and I’m just ready for some sunshine. That’s where comfort food comes in. When it’s cold and wet and gross outside, I want something delicious to eat. Years ago when I […]

It’s been five months since we’ve been in Peru. I miss it. I miss the people. I miss the adorable children at the orphanage. I miss the sights and the sounds and I miss the food! I really miss the food. I miss the Aji de Gallina, the Chicha Morada and the delicious Alfajores (among […]

It’s no secret that I love cookies. They’re pretty much the perfect dessert in my opinion. You don’t need a plate and you can walk around while eating them. I’d say it’s a win win. I pinned these Chex Scotcharoos some time ago because they sounded delicious. I love Scotcharoo Cookies and this seems like […]

This is one of those recipes where you think “yeah, that might be okay” and then after you try it you can’t stop eating it. My boss brought this dip to the Christmas party this year. It was a huge hit! Definitely an appetizer that is going on my “must makes” for a party! The […]

This whole ugly Christmas sweater thing makes me laugh. Do you know how many Christmas sweaters I used to own but got rid of? Because they weren’t “in style” anymore? Way too many. Heck, I would have won every ugly Christmas sweater contest out there. I had that many. (Is that sad??? We’d better not […]

A friend of mine asked me to make her some tags for a fun co-worker thank you gift for Christmas. This is what I came up with. What do you think? She found some fun highlighters and attached one to each tag. So dang simple but such a great way to say I’m thinking of […]

My Mom asked me if I could come up with a fun baby shower invitation for my brother’s baby shower. Heck ya’ I can. I love fun things to mail! And what says baby shower better than diapers?!?! You’ll need diapers. That’s all. Easy so far, right? I wrote “pull” on the tabs (so they […]

It’s time for December’s Secret Recipe Club post. It seems strange to be posting again since we just posted last week, but that was for our Holiday Themed reveal. So it’s even stranger (or is it a coincidence???) that this month’s blog assignment is the same blog I had for the Holiday Treats post – […]

When I was going to graduate school in Seattle we used to drive up to Whistler, BC often to go skiing. Back then it was amazing and beautiful (just like it is now) but also still a little “undiscovered”. There weren’t nearly the crowds of people which made it perfect. One of the things I […]

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 […]
Do they look like hot dogs? Of course they do. But are they? Well, sort of. They’re hot dogs, but not the kind you eat for lunch. You eat these hot dogs for dessert! I found the recipe for these over on The Seven Year Cottage. I changed it up just a little bit. They used […]
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 have decided that April Fools Day is one of my favorite holidays. Sounds a little strange maybe but fun food and me? Yep, we go together like peanut butter and jelly. And April Fools Day screams fun food. So what do you think about our Deviled Eggs? Who doesn’t love deviled eggs, right? Oh […]

I mentioned in my last post for our Faux Deviled Eggs that I love April Fools Day and all the fun food ideas. Well, here’s another super cute idea. How about making a Chicken Not Pie for dinner for your kids. Did you catch that? Chicken Not Pie. I know, clever right? (Or were you […]
I’ve decided that I’m a little bored with cooking. I make the same basic things for dinners and I’m getting tired of it. Dinner should be fun, right? So that’s our new theme for the summer. Fun food! So we bought a couple of fun kid’s cookbooks. This is the first thing we made – […]
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 […]
