Food, Crafts and Fun
Teacher Appreciation Week is a fun week in our house. Well, maybe the week or two leading up to Teacher Appreciation Week. We search Pinterest for fun, creative gift ideas for my kid’s teachers. We’ve made some pretty fun ones in the past (you can check them out HERE.) Because, let’s face it, wouldn’t everyone […]

I know! Don’t feint. I have a post that isn’t a dessert recipe. It doesn’t happen too often, but when it does, it’s a good one. Because typically I just think “who cares about this recipe?” But this one is definitely a keeper. It was perfect at the staff get together I hosted and […]

It’s that time again, Secret Recipe Club time. I received my assignment this month and was super pleased to have gotten Debbi, our group leader’s blog, Debbi Does Dinner: Healthy & Low Calorie. I’ve been a follower of Debbi’s blog for quite awhile (even before she was involved with the SRC.) So yeah! Debbi has an […]

Happy Easter! Even though Easter was late this year, it still feels like it was here before I knew it. We had so much fun with all of our Easter creations this year. We have one more for you before we switch gears to Teacher Appreciation gifts. (Oh how I love Teacher Appreciation Week!) If […]

The best part of a German Chocolate cake? Oh sure, the cake part is delicious. But the frosting? I could eat it with a spoon! I love it. Well, minus the pecans. I don’t want them in there. But the rest of it? Yes, please. So what would happen if you took German Chocolate Cake […]

We seem to be on a little Cadbury Creme Egg roll here. Apparently our Copycat Cadbury Creme Egg Brownies didn’t completely satisfy that sweet tooth. These were so easy to make (and so worth it.) We used the same creme filling recipe we used for our Copycat Cadbury Creme Egg Brownies. Don’t they look…. well, […]

These just scream Easter to me. I love the colors! And I’m so ready for spring. That means the school year is getting closer, which means summer time. I know. How can I already be counting down the days until summer? Nine weeks people! Nine weeks! Then I’m off for 2 months. Oh, boy. I […]

Here’s another attempt at cookie decorating. Not as good as the ones we saw on Pinterest (found here.) But, we’re learning, right? If you’re interested in checking out our other decorated sugar cookie creations, you can see them here.

Cadbury Creme Eggs. You either love them or you hate them. Right? Well, I love them. I look forward to seeing them in the stores every year. And did you know that they make mini Cadbury Creme Eggs? Mini! I have a thing for mini food. But this recipe is for homemade (copycat) Cadbury Crème […]

There’s nothing that screams Spring time like pastel colors. Am I right? And these cookies just did it for me. They are so colorful and, dare I say, fun? You can make them any colors that you would like. These colors are perfect for Easter or Spring. I found these cookies pinned on Pinterest but […]

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 […]
Yep, another Thanksgiving-ish recipe. I told you we were going to rock the Holidays! (If you missed that post, you can check it out here.) And after our delicious Pumpkin Spice Fudge, we needed a kid friendly crafty kind of dessert to make. Can you get any more kid friendly or crafty with these Turkey […]
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 […]
Did you read the title and think “what the heck?” If you did, you’re not alone. When I first heard of roasting Starburst candies over the campfire I was pretty skeptical. Number one, there’s no chocolate so that usually rules me out. And number two, what the heck? How would that even work??? But when […]
The aliens are coming! The aliens are coming! I told you that I was going to make dinner time more fun and exciting. How fun is this idea?!?! My kids loved it! This idea came from the cookbook Just For Kids Collection. (If you missed my Octo-Dog post you MUST check it out here!) Here’s […]
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 […]
You’re going to think this is either gross or totally cool. Or maybe a little bit of both. Either way, it’s perfect for Halloween! And my kids thought it was totally grossly cool! Sloppy Joe Intestines! Or maybe it’s Sloppy Joe Colon. But that sounds too gross, even for me. I found the idea here […]
