I am a huge Zucchini Bread fan! If I had to chose between pumpkin and zucchini bread, it would always be zucchini! Plain Zucchini Bread, Chocolate Zucchini Bread, it doesn’t matter. I love it all. So it was a no brainer when I saw this Zucchini Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting on Pinterest. Zucchini bread […]

Have you seen the movie Inside Out? We did and we loved it. It was so dang cute and, being a school counselor, I loved the idea and message. And we loved the characters. They were so cute! So after I made our Minion lunch box notes (found HERE and HERE). I wanted to make […]

Now that it’s October I’m ready to get into the Halloween spirit. I just can’t in September. It’s too early. Heck, in September I’m still holding on to summer. But now? Yep, ready. We made this fun layered drink for the Fourth of July and my kids loved it. It’s easy and a fun thing […]

Something’s wrong with me. Seriously, seriously wrong. Ever since returning from our summer long adventure in Peru my sweet tooth has been, well, gone. I still crave a little something sweet every once in awhile but not like before we left. What the heck? Should I go see a doctor about it? I probably should. […]

We are on a lunch box note roll at my house. My daughter loves them and I love putting a little something extra in her lunch box. We’ve made quite a few over the years, holiday notes, jokes and even Minion lunch box notes. To see all of the ones we’ve created just go over […]

After making our other Hawaiian Sweet Bread recipe, we’re on a hunt for the perfect Hawaiian Sweet Bread recipe. I love the deliciousness of those darn rolls and could eat about 6 of them in a single sitting. This recipe is definitely an easy one. You just add the ingredients listed in order and turn […]

How do you keep bananas from going brown so quickly? I hate when I buy a bunch at the store and literally three days later they look like this. What do you do with them besides make Banana Bread? I haven’t made banana bread in years so I figured that’s what I would do with […]

It’s been forever since we’ve had a giveaway so I’m super excited to bring you this one. Not just because it’s a giveaway (BTW, I love giveaways!) but because it’s a super cool giveaway! Lunchbox Love sent me a half year supply of lunchbox notes (volumes 81 – 88) to try out. A half of a […]

Now that my kids are back to school and I’m back to work I dread dinner time. We get home, we do homework and then I realize it’s time to eat. Ugh. I forgot about dinner. So this year I’ve decided I’m going to do a lot more slow cooker/crock pot cooking. I forget about […]

Did you see our first Minion Lunch Box Notes post? They were such a huge hit with my daughter and all her friends that we had to make some more. I love hearing her comments when she gets home about what her and her friends thought. If I add a joke note to her lunch […]

Meatloaf and mashed potatoes are comfort food to me. I love them! My kids love them! And I love that my kids love them! But I wanted to kid it up a little. (We eat meatloaf a lot.) So I made my regular meatloaf. It’s nothing uber fancy. I buy the spice packet at the […]
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. […]
Halloween means fun food, right? At least in our house it does. I have to spice it up a little for my kids. So how could I not make these bloody band aide cookies??!! I saw these over on Pinterest (who got them from Katherine Marie Photography.) Do you pin? If not, you are so […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Yep, another Thanksgiving-ish recipe. I told you we were going to rock the Holidays! (If you missed that post, you can check it out here.) And after our delicious Pumpkin Spice Fudge, we needed a kid friendly crafty kind of dessert to make. Can you get any more kid friendly or crafty with these Turkey […]
You’re going to think this is either gross or totally cool. Or maybe a little bit of both. Either way, it’s perfect for Halloween! And my kids thought it was totally grossly cool! Sloppy Joe Intestines! Or maybe it’s Sloppy Joe Colon. But that sounds too gross, even for me. I found the idea here […]
