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 […]

I can’t believe it’s October 10th and this is only our first Halloween post. Eeeee gads! I’m behind! I need to get my behind in gear and Halloween it up. So, to kick off one of the greatest Holidays known to man…. here are our Sugar Wafer Monsters. If you haven’t checked out Sugar Swings! […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
One of the best things I’ve done with my kids is taking them camping. I was a little afraid the first time we went. It was just me and my two, very young, children. We had so much fun. Now, 5 years later, it’s the highlight of our summer when we go camping. We load […]
We had so much fun making our Turkey Cookies with Nutter Butters that we wanted to make another Thanksgiving cookie. I think this one turned out much cuter than the other Turkey Cookies! I mean seriously, look at these little guys. too cute! I used the candy eyes which are my new favorite thing to […]
The other day my son said to me “Mom, we should have every Saturday dinner a fun dinner. You know, like the Aliens and race cars that we had.” Bless him. I love that they want to help me in the kitchen and eat fun things. So we decided to make something similar to our […]
I am totally loving all of the great April Fool’s Day things people have posted the past couple of weeks! I love the pranks but mostly I love the fun food. You didn’t miss our Fakin’ and Eggs I hope! (We’re all about fun food at our house!) So we wanted to pack in two […]
