Food, Crafts and Fun
I can honestly say I’ve never been a fan of Chicken and Dumplings. I’m not sure why. And to be honest, I can’t ever remember eating them. I think they just freaked me out because I’m not much of a bread soaked in anything kind of girl. That being said, I decided to go out […]

Who doesn’t love s’mores, right? Me? I love them. Not just love, but LOVE them. And these cookies? Yep, they make me happy. It’s a s’more and a cookie smashed into one. Pure heaven. These cookies are soft and chewy (how cookies were meant to be.) The marshmallows are gooey and perfect and the […]

Magic Bars (or 7 Layer Bars) have been around as long as I can remember. Layer after layer of pure awesomeness, then covered in sweetened condensed milk. Ummm, amazing! This bar is just your basic Magic Bar recipe (found everywhere) but with a fun Halloween twist. We used Candy Corn M&Ms and candy corn rather […]

My kids and I are preparing for an experience of a lifetime. We’re traveling to Peru this summer to do volunteer work for 6 weeks in one of the orphanages located outside of Cuzco. Everyone asks us why we are doing this and it’s pretty simple actually. Oh sure, the big, global answer is, doesn’t […]

Owls and Halloween. Who ever decided these two things go together? Well, if you google it (which, of course, we did) it goes way back. Like, way, way back. According to Haunted Bay, the Romans were one of the first cultures that viewed owls as spooky creatures. The owl symbolized death, doom, or destruction and […]

How cute are these little Candy Corn pots? I love them! What you’ll need: * terra cotta pots * Paint (yellow, orange, white and black) * Orange pom pom * Glue You could always use googly eyes if you didn’t want to paint them on. But you can add so much emotion by painting on […]

It’s Secret Recipe Club time. You know what that means, right? It means October is almost over. Yikes. No, it means I get to post a recipe from a “secret” blog that I was assigned to. And how fun is it to try new recipes? I love it. The Secret Recipe Club is a… well, […]

We’ve made Homemade Butterfingers before and can I just say, they are TO. DIE. FOR. Seriously. Delicious. Well, this is pretty much the same thing except in bark form. Which basically means it’s the same thing but thinner. Oh yeah, and easier because you don’t have to dip each individual piece. But that also means […]

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, […]
I’ve decided I love my food markers. I mean seriously. Who ever came up with that idea is a genius. Because we’re having so much fun with them. Who wouldn’t love a cup of this hot chocolate in the morning?! My kids thought it was great. They thought I bought the marshmallows like this. […]
I’ve decided that I’m a little bored with cooking. I make the same basic things for dinners and I’m getting tired of it. Dinner should be fun, right? So that’s our new theme for the summer. Fun food! So we bought a couple of fun kid’s cookbooks. This is the first thing we made – […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I’m always on the search for fun foods to make for me… I mean my kids. Ah heck, who am I foolin’. I’d make these adorable scooter snacks even if I didn’t have kids. They are so cute. And all the ingredients that I love! Adorable, right? I found this in the August 2010 edition […]
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 – […]
