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 […]

I know today is November 1st and Breast Cancer Awareness month was October but I just had to share this one with you. Plus today is “Wear Pink” day at my school. So, of course I had to bring cookies to help celebrate! And not just any cookies… Mammo-graham cookies. Ha! Get it?! Mammo – […]
Do your kids watch iCarly on Nickelodeon? My kids love it. One of the things that Spencer (one of the characters) makes is spaghetti tacos. My kids have been asking me to make them for some time but I just never did. They didn’t sound all that appetizing to me. Spaghetti in a taco shell? […]
Have you ever seen these things? They are egg molds? Egg what??? Egg molds! I saw them awhile ago and have been wanting to get them to try them out and here they are. Pretty cool looking aren’t they? You’re probably wondering why in the world anyone would want these things though, right? Well, I […]
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 […]
What do you think of Twinkies? I think people either love them or hate them. I love them. I’m not sure why. If I think about it too long I start to question my love of spongy yellow cake and frosting. So I don’t think about it for too long =o) For awhile, years ago, […]
Normally by now I’ve posted a few Thanksgiving fun food recipes. Apparently I’m a little slow this year. I can’t believe this is our first (and only one!) But it is a fun one. How cute are these little guys? I thought my kids would have a great time making these. I bought all the […]
It’s no secret that I love fun food. I love making it. I love serving it to my kids. It makes me smile. So this was right up my alley. And it’s kind of Halloween-y, right? Kind of? This recipe came out of the cookbook Simple 1-2-3 Cooking for Kids. Ingredients: * Jumbo past shells […]
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 […]
