Food, Crafts and Fun
Are you ever just looking for easy an meal to make for your kids that they’ll eat? One that they will love that doesn’t include chicken nuggets and french fries? My kids fluctuate between being picky eaters and driving me crazy. And do they ever like the same foods at the same time? Nope. That […]

Brownies + peppermint crunch? Yes, there are no words. Well, maybe amazing… or delicious… I guess holy heck would work too. They are that good. The basics for this recipe came from I Heart Naptime. I changed it up a little bit. PrintPeppermint Crunch Brownies Ingredients1 brownie mix and ingredients according to package directions 1 […]

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 […]

A few weeks ago my daughter came home from school and asked if we could make Wads. Ummm… what? This is kind of how our conversation went: Ellie: “Mom, can we make Wads?” Me: “What the heck are Wads?” Ellie: “You know, Wads. ” Me: “Um, no, I really don’t know what Wads are. What […]

Apparently I’m on a loaded baked potato kick. We loved our Loaded Baked Potato Salad. This is similar but a hot casserole rather than a cold salad. Gotta love ’em both, right? This was cheesy and delicious! Oh yeah, and filled with bacon. The best part! And covered with more cheese? Yes, please! Thank you […]

Holy crud. I feel like I’m in some sort of a time warp or something. How can it be the third week of November already? It was just September! Time is just flying (and I’m not really okay with that.) Do you think I have a say? Yeah, I didn’t either. Sigh…. We’ve been spending […]

Could life get any more crazy? Not for us. So when I remembered it was a co-worker’s birthday on Monday I knew I had to make an easy dessert. And is there anything easier than a crock pot recipe? I’ll answer that for you – no way! I absolutely love my crock pot. So easy, […]

This is the perfect dessert for pie lovers who don’t want the hassle of making a pie. You get the yumminess of the fruit filling combined with a soft, not too sweet, cookie. Delicious! I might have used too much of the dough for the bottom layer. I didn’t have enough (I think) for the […]

Potatoes are comfort food for me. When the weather starts getting cooler or I’m stressed out, comfort food is what I want. And this Loaded Baked Potato Salad? Did it do the trick? Oh man. It didn’t make the sun shine but it did make life a little less stressful, even for just a little while. […]

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 […]
Our last Halloween post for the season (sniff, sniff) is a simple but fun one – Mummy Pretzels! Cute, right?!?! We found two different versions on the internet, here and here – both adorable. The girls loved making them. I’m pretty sure they ate about 20 eyes a piece before I realized where they all went. […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
My daughter saw these wonderful looking treats in her Fancy Nancy Tea Parties book. (Did I mention we LOVE Fancy Nancy?!) Her books are stupendous (that’s fancy for great!) I did an earlier post from this book as well. Click here to see it. So Ellie saw these and said to me “oh, let’s make […]
I love Halloween! Have I mentioned that? Yep, love it! And how could I not when this is what decorates my kitchen? Cool, right?! Dirty Q-Tips! Ha! I saw these over on Pinterest too. Along with the Bloody Band-Aid Cookies that we made. It originally came from Katherine Marie Photography. Super simple but the […]
To continue our April Fools Day fun food extravaganza, we have a simple but fun one for you today – Peanut Butter Potstickers. They don’t totally look like potstickers, but my kids didn’t care. They loved them. And they were so simple to make. Thanks Party Pinching for this great idea. What you’ll need: * […]
