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’m beginning to get a little tired of the rain around here. It’s May for heaven’s sake and it’s pouring outside. I want summer! I want to be able to open up my windows and smell the fresh air. I want to wear sandals and capris and not feel like I’m frozen. I want to […]
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 […]
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 […]
My son wanted a Nerf birthday party. Do you know how hard it is to find Nerf party things out there??? It’s darn near impossible. Tiffanee over at One Crazy Cookie made our Nerf Birthday Party Invitations which were a giant hit! I don’t know how she does it but she is a computer […]
Meatloaf and mashed potatoes are comfort food to me. I love them! My kids love them! And I love that my kids love them! But I wanted to kid it up a little. (We eat meatloaf a lot.) So I made my regular meatloaf. It’s nothing uber fancy. I buy the spice packet at the […]
Have you ever seen this before? Is it the strangest thing ever?!?! It looks like it should be in some Star Wars movie or something. (Or do I just not get out enough???) I saw this over at the local fruit and veggie stand. It’s awesome! (The stand, that it.) I wasn’t sure what it […]
I have decided that April Fools Day is one of my favorite holidays. Sounds a little strange maybe but fun food and me? Yep, we go together like peanut butter and jelly. And April Fools Day screams fun food. So what do you think about our Deviled Eggs? Who doesn’t love deviled eggs, right? Oh […]
I can’t believe it’s the middle of October and I haven’t even posted a Halloween recipe or crafts yet. Ugh. Life is a little overwhelming right now but I’ve decided to kick it into gear and get my Halloween on. So the first Halloween recipe for this year is for Candy Corn Cookies. Aren’t they […]
