Food, Crafts and Fun

We call this a giant Ho-Ho but I guess it’s official name is a Chocolate Cake Roll. (I’m still going with Giant Ho-Ho.) Either way, it’s delicious!!! I took this dessert to a dinner party so I wasn’t able to cut into it and show you. Sorry about that. But the people who gobbled […]

What do you get when a donut meets a waffle? A do-ffle, of course. The perfect marriage of the delicious taste of a Belgium Waffle paired with the oh my heck taste of a maple frosted donut. And? As if there needs to be an and… you can eat it on the go. They […]

It’s been awhile since we’ve done a super cool science experiment so we were way past due. So when I saw this one on Facebook, it was a no-brainer. We had to try it out. Making your own geodes? How cool is that?!?! Steve Spangler has the coolest science ideas. Don’t be intimidated by the […]

Don’t fall over. I know, a recipe that’s not dessert. Strange, right? It’s Secret Recipe Club time again. Yeah! My assigned blog this month was Adventures In All Things Food. How could you go wrong with a name like that?!?! I’m all about food, and, yes, more than just desserts. That’s where this is strange. […]

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 […]

I am not a fan of marshmallow Peeps, but I love how they look. They just scream Easter to me. They’re so colorful. So when I saw this Peeps bunny cookie cutter, I had to buy it. I always use this recipe for my sugar cookies. It’s by far the best and is so easy […]

I know, don’t judge. When you get past the grossness of these cookies you gotta admit, they’re pretty dang funny, right? Come on! It’s almost April Fool’s Day. Live it up! My daughter and her friend were a riot making these. We don’t have a cat so her friend was the “expert”. Oh my gosh. […]

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 […]
Angry birds seem to be the thing right now. When we were trick or treating there were so many houses that had Angry Bird pumpkins. They were super cool. So when I saw this cute sandwich over on Jill’s blog, Kitchen Fun with My Three Sons, this just seemed like the perfect fun meal. And […]
Owls and Halloween. Who ever decided these two things go together? Well, if you google it (which, of course, we did) it goes way back. Like, way, way back. According to Haunted Bay, the Romans were one of the first cultures that viewed owls as spooky creatures. The owl symbolized death, doom, or destruction and […]
My kids and I watch a craft show every Saturday morning called Donna’s Day. Have you heard of it? It’s fantastic. She does crafts and recips and all sorts of great things for you to do with your kids. Some of them are awesome. Some of them are for the more Martha Stewart Mom’s out […]
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 […]
I had all these grand plans to do great things this Easter. Some of them got done but a lot of them are still in my “to do” pile. Crud. At 6am when I was getting ready to pack my kid’s lunch for school I remembered I wanted to pack their lunch a little differently. […]
I haven’t done a single thing for the 4th of July =o( Where have I been??? We typically don’t do much for the 4th, though. It’s always been one of those holidays where I’m frustrated because of all the loud noises that keep waking my kids up! Does that make me grouchy? =o( But a […]
Here is an easy and fun treat for the kids. They didn’t turn out as cool as I had hoped. I think it was because there was so many bubbles in our 7 Up. But the kids didn’t seem to mind. PrintGummy Bear Popsicles Ingredients7 Up Gummy BearsInstructionsLet your 7 Up sit out for […]
