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 […]

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 […]

For Halloween do you do silly fun or gory? We always do silly fun but I do like a little bit of the gross. So when I saw these cupcakes over on Pinterest (my new love) from Cakehead Loves Evil I knew we had to make them. Totally cool, right?!?! We made stained glass candy […]
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 […]
Oh, the pressure. My son’s request to make “fun food” every Saturday night for dinner is already getting to me. How do people come up with all these ideas??? Well, however they do it, I’m just grateful they do. That way I can copy them and my kids think I’m amazing =o) Jill over at […]
I remember making this years and years ago for a friend’s children. It was pretty cool (I thought) so my kids and I thought we would make it again for some friends. It’s super easy and it’s fun to do! What you will need: * any kind of clear bowl. We used a fish bowl […]
I love Halloween! Have I mentioned that? Yep, love it! And how could I not when this is what decorates my kitchen? Cool, right?! Dirty Q-Tips! Ha! I saw these over on Pinterest too. Along with the Bloody Band-Aid Cookies that we made. It originally came from Katherine Marie Photography. Super simple but the […]
I’m beginning to get a little tired of the rain around here. It’s May for heaven’s sake and it’s pouring outside. I want summer! I want to be able to open up my windows and smell the fresh air. I want to wear sandals and capris and not feel like I’m frozen. I want to […]
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: * […]
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 […]
