Donuts are my kryptonite. Seriously. I absolutely love them. Typically I shy away from making them because a baked donut? That’s like saying low fat dessert. Something doesn’t quite roll off my tongue with those. But my kids had friends over for a sleep over and I wanted to make something fun for them. Yowza! […]

Thank you to Baby Living Mama for this idea. The recipe is the same as the recipe on my Wilton Cookie Press box. […]

Over the winter break my kids and I went to the beach for a few days. The beach is my refuge. I love it there. Even in the winter when it’s col, windy and rainy, there’s no place I’d rather be. (Well, maybe a beach that’s hot and sunny???) While there my kids and I […]

I saw this “recipe” in the Family Fun magazine while at the Doctor’s office and thought I’d give it a try. Anything to make dinner time fun, right? My kids LOVED it! And it was easy to make. I took hot dogs and cut them into 4 pieces. Then I took raw spaghetti noodles and […]
We had so much fun making our Turkey Cookies with Nutter Butters that we wanted to make another Thanksgiving cookie. I think this one turned out much cuter than the other Turkey Cookies! I mean seriously, look at these little guys. too cute! I used the candy eyes which are my new favorite thing to […]
Normally when I look at Sue’s blog I sit back and think “Man, why can’t I do that?!” She is amazing and so talented when it comes to baking and decorating the cutest cookies ever. Then I saw this post and thought “holy smokes, I can do that!” I was so excited! I’m always looking […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I mentioned in my last post for our Faux Deviled Eggs that I love April Fools Day and all the fun food ideas. Well, here’s another super cute idea. How about making a Chicken Not Pie for dinner for your kids. Did you catch that? Chicken Not Pie. I know, clever right? (Or were you […]
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 […]
