Food, Crafts and Fun
Birthday parties can be a blessing and a curse. My daughter loves going to all her friend’s birthday parties but sometimes shopping for a gift can be a pain. Unless I know the child really well and can pick a perfect gift that I know they’ll love, I’ve decided I’m going with money. Who doesn’t […]

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. […]

I’m always on the search for fun foods to make for me… I mean my kids. Ah heck, who am I foolin’. I’d make these adorable scooter snacks even if I didn’t have kids. They are so cute. And all the ingredients that I love! Adorable, right? I found this in the August 2010 edition […]
A friend of mine at work bought this amazingly awesome ice cube tray mold for me. I thought it was a giant compliment when she said “I saw this and thought of you.” Seriously! How cool is that! I love it when people see weird but extremely cool things and actually think of me. What […]
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 […]
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 – […]
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 […]
Have you ever just wanted to give someone a finger??? Not the finger… a finger. Ha! I crack myself up sometimes. (I’m hoping that’s not a bad thing….) I found this great finger pan from Wilton last Halloween but never got a chance to use it. So it was calling our name from the […]
I have a little thing about vampires. I was about to write “I’m embarrassed to say” but I’m not. What the heck. I’m obsessed. I said it. Seriously, I am. It all started with the Twilight books and has gone a little out of control since. =o) If you need to know a good book […]
I know. Don’t judge me. You’re thinking “that’s totally gross!” But admit it… you’re next thought is “but totally cool!” Right? Come on, admit it. These cookies are totally gross and totally cool at the same time. That’s why we had to make them. A friend on Facebook posted this link on my wall […]
