Food, Crafts and Fun
I can hardly believe the holidays are so close. I’m so excited! Christmas time is my absolute favorite time of year. I love everything about Christmas time, from the lights, decorations and food to the joy and peace this season represents and means to me. Thank you to Inside BruCrew Life for this recipe!

This has been a crazy month! It seems like Halloween came and then we got slammed with too much to do for my liking. So here it is, Secret Recipe Club day and I’m late. LATE! I’m never late. Ugh! But somehow I messed up my foot over the weekend so I’ve been trying to […]

Is it too early to start thinking about Christmas? I hope not. I have Christmas cheer already running through my blood! And since we’re on a lunch box joke roll, here’s one for December. Just right click on the image and save to your computer. Print out on cardstock and you’re set. Did you […]

Fall weather has set in here in Oregon, which means I’m ready for some comfort food. You know, casseroles, stews, soups and anything with cheese. It makes me feel good just thinking about it. Am I right? And what better way to enjoy the ooey gooey deliciousness of cheese than deep fried?! You can use […]

When I heard that one of my co-workers 50 birthday was quickly approaching, I knew I wanted to do something for her. Nothing big since we aren’t really friends, but something to acknowledge the big day. This was perfect. Simple but fun (and I love that combination!) I always save leftover plastic containers from things […]

We are huge beef jerky fans in my house. My daughter loves it! But I hate spending a fortune for it and her eating the entire bag in one sitting. I’m glad that she chose beef jerky over candy, but man, it’s an expensive snack. Am I right? I remember growing up and my Dad […]

I’m on a lunch box notes/jokes roll. Once I figured out how to make them (yeah for me), now I can’t stop. So here are some Thanksgiving ones for you. If you would like to download them, go HERE and you can download them for free. Yep, from me to you. Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy! […]

I absolutely love Pampered Chef. So much so that I’m thinking about becoming a consultant. It’s that good! I use it everyday in my kitchen and I can’t say enough good things about it. If you haven’t heard of Pampered Chef or if you want to look at their new line of products (and their […]

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 – […]

Our last Halloween post for the season (sniff, sniff) is a simple but fun one – Mummy Pretzels! Cute, right?!?! We found two different versions on the internet, here and here – both adorable. The girls loved making them. I’m pretty sure they ate about 20 eyes a piece before I realized where they all went. […]

I was feeling pretty guilty about my lack of party creativity for my daughter. The necklaces were pretty cute and I knew the girls would think they were fun but I was feeling bad for the boys. Plus I have this whole over-acheiver thing that I deal with. I have a hard time settling for […]
We made cookies like this years ago and I remember my kids loved it. It’s like playing with play doh but the end result isn’t cleaning everything up and putting it away. The end result here is eating them! What kid (or adult) wouldn’t be pleased with that outcome? The kids had so much fun […]
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 […]
I’m totally having fun with this whole fun food for dinner Saturday night. I love seeing my kid’s faces when I put their plate on the table. I love hearing “no way. Great job, Mom.” It makes my entire day! And how could I not make this for Halloween?!?! I’m not sure where I saw […]
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 […]
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? […]
Do they look like hot dogs? Of course they do. But are they? Well, sort of. They’re hot dogs, but not the kind you eat for lunch. You eat these hot dogs for dessert! I found the recipe for these over on The Seven Year Cottage. I changed it up just a little bit. They used […]
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: * […]
