Food, Crafts and Fun
This is a hybrid of two different recipes. I saw the idea for Pot of Gold Cookies over on Your Southern Peach. I loved how they looked but I’m not a fan of raw cookie dough. (I know, don’t hate me.) So I used the idea but changed up the recipe. I love how they […]

I’m not a big corned beef and cabbage gal so when it comes to St. Patrick’s Day, we just stick with the desserts. And anything chocolate-y and minty and I’m in! And this recipe did not disappoint. These brownies are delicious! They are perfect just like this. But with the melted Andes mints drizzled on […]

What the heck? Those two don’t even look close. What the heck happened? It looked so easy. Yeah, I’m here to tell you…. decorating a cake with fondant is NOT easy. Not even close. My kids have wanted to try to make fondant for awhile. Then when I saw a recipe for Marshmallow fondant, I […]

Oh yes we did. We had to. Yep, had to. Bacon + tater tots? That’s just a no brainer. And I don’t even know what to say about them. They were that good. Seriously. Make them. Right now! The recipe says to roll them in brown sugar. My daughter wasn’t so sure about this […]

I’m still trying to get used to posting my Secret Recipe Club post on the first Monday of the month. This is only my second month in group A and my brain just isn’t used to it yet. March – bam! Secret Recipe Club – bam! Ahhhhh! My blog assignment this month is BC Mom’s Kitchen. […]

If you haven’t figured it out yet, I am a huge s’mores lover. Love, love, love them! And I love that there are so many s’more recipes out there that are more than just the traditional graham cracker, chocolate and marshmallow. And this one? Yep, delicious! It’s like a s’more on steroids because it also […]

We are on a Valentine making roll in my house. Between my kid’s classmates and teachers and my co-workers, that’s a lot of Valentines! And, of course, we can’t just make a ton of one thing. That would be boring. So we’ve been making a plethora of different gifts to give to people we care about. Like […]

Sometimes it’s the simplest things that taste the best – like brownies and cream cheese frosting. Nothing fancy there, but oh, so delicous! I wanted to make a fun (and fancy looking) dessert for a friend of mine. To make a very long story short (and who wants to read long stories???) she won a […]

See. I told you we loved lip balm. And because we do, we assume every one else does. (See how we work?) So when we saw this idea and free printable over on The Cards We Drew, of course I was going to use it. It’s adorable! The Super Hero theme is perfect for us […]

Sometimes you just need something simple and cute. You know, no frills, no 20 ingredient recipe, just good. Well, this is it. These spritz cookies are simple and taste wonderful. We made Chocolate Dipped Spritz Cookies also. Again… delicious. It didn’t occur to me that the sprinkles I used are actually Easter sprinkles. Can you […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
So what do you think? Have we been doing it up, Thanksgiving style? (Maybe not if you’re a grown up. But we don’t really have one of those in our house.) =o) But my kids have loved all the fun treats we’ve made so far. We tried our first Turkey Cookie. Then we sugar-ed it […]

I am totally loving all of the great April Fool’s Day things people have posted the past couple of weeks! I love the pranks but mostly I love the fun food. You didn’t miss our Fakin’ and Eggs I hope! (We’re all about fun food at our house!) So we wanted to pack in two […]
I’m not even sure I can type this post. I’m laughing too hard. ‘Cause seriously… this meal cracked me up. But even more hysterical than these totally adorable weenie men (that I found over on Casa de Luna) is the conversation that I had with my son. Are you ready for this??? My son: […]
