Note – this recipe isn’t for an ordinary Oreo Brownie. Oh, no. They don’t have “Oreos” in them at all. So why are they called Oreo Cream Filling Brownies? What’s the best part of an Oreo? It’s the cream filling, right? Well, this brownie has the Oreo cream filling on top of it. Like a […]

These are just like our Two Tone Heart Cookies that we made for Valentine’s Day. The only thing we did differently was we used a shortbread recipe (the same that we used for our Clover in Clover Butter Shortbread Cookie) and we covered the backs of the cookies with melted milk chocolate. Because isn’t everything […]

A friend of mine told me about 7 Up Biscuits awhile back and I’ve wanted to make them ever since. Then a co-worker brought some to work and that sealed it for me. They were delicious! They are all over Pinterest, mostly with no link to a website. But here’s a site that does have […]

I just loved our Two Tone Heart Cookies that we made for Valentine’s Day. Then I got to thinking…. how much fun could we have with these? I just love shortbread cookies so we went with a buttery shortbread cookie recipe rather than a sugar cookie. But you could use either. You can add as many […]

I’ve been wanting to make these bars for some time now. Apparently pretty badly because when I looked at my “super secret TO MAKE board” on Pinterest I noticed I’d pinned them four times! We opted to not put nuts in them since we’re not nut people and we used milk chocolate chips (because I […]

It’s Secret Recipe Club time again. Where did the month go?! With our freakish snow storm this month, everything is now goofed up for us. Plans were cancelled, events were rescheduled and now life seems to be a giant scramble to fit everything in. But I do love the 3rd Monday of the month where […]

I was pretty sceptical about how this fudge would turn out. It just sounded too easy. But I had a tub of Caramel Apple frosting in my cupboard and was intrigued enough to give it a try. And we’re still on the hunt for the best fudge recipe out there. It was so easy! Only […]

Show of hands – who hasn’t heard of Minecraft? Now, of those of you who hands up, lower your hands if you don’t have children. How many of you are out there with your hands still up in the air? I’m guessing not many. This who Minecraft thing has taken off and kids love it. […]

I’ve decided I’m going to try to learn how to decorate sugar cookies. If you don’t decorate sugar cookies yourself, you’re probably thinking “what do you mean ‘learn’?” If you haven’t tried it, you won’t understand. Because decorating sugar cookies is HARD! Hard, I tell you. But… you have to start somewhere. Right? So here’s […]

For the first time in years, we have snow! SNOW! I know you all are thinking that snow is no big deal. But for us in the Pacific Northwest, we don’t get it very often, so when we do… it’s awesome! The kids are outside playing for most of the day, coming in long enough […]

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 […]
Here is an easy and fun treat for the kids. They didn’t turn out as cool as I had hoped. I think it was because there was so many bubbles in our 7 Up. But the kids didn’t seem to mind. PrintGummy Bear Popsicles Ingredients7 Up Gummy BearsInstructionsLet your 7 Up sit out for […]
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 […]
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 […]
I remember making this years and years ago for a friend’s children. It was pretty cool (I thought) so my kids and I thought we would make it again for some friends. It’s super easy and it’s fun to do! What you will need: * any kind of clear bowl. We used a fish bowl […]
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 […]
I’ve seen these around blogland for awhile now and wondered if they would be good or just plain weird. My daughter loves corn dogs. So would she love these??? So I hopped on over to My Kitchen Adventures to see what I needed to do. How simple!!! I used a Corn Bread Muffin mix (the […]
Do your kids watch iCarly on Nickelodeon? My kids love it. One of the things that Spencer (one of the characters) makes is spaghetti tacos. My kids have been asking me to make them for some time but I just never did. They didn’t sound all that appetizing to me. Spaghetti in a taco shell? […]
