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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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: * […]
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: […]
Tag! I’m it! Yeah! I love to play games. I’m a kid at heart. I’ll admit it. So when Tiffanee over at One Crazy Cookie tagged me, I was thrilled and honored. Thrilled because, like I said, I like to play =o) And honored because I love her blog. She posts the best recipes! What […]
Halloween means fun food, right? At least in our house it does. I have to spice it up a little for my kids. So how could I not make these bloody band aide cookies??!! I saw these over on Pinterest (who got them from Katherine Marie Photography.) Do you pin? If not, you are so […]
This might be the last of our Easter treats for this year. But seriously, don’t hold me to that. Sometimes we just bake on a whim so there might be more =o) So guess where I saw this cute idea. Give up? It’s another Family Fun magazine idea. I am totally in love with that […]
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 […]
