Food, Crafts and Fun

I can’t believe it’s only October and I’m out of lunch box jokes already. I didn’t think it was too much of a big deal for a day or so. Sometimes I wonder if they even read the little notes I put in their lunch boxes. But then my daughter came home from school last […]

It’s Secret Recipe Club time! I love this day of the month. It’s so much fun finding new recipes to make and new blogs to follow! This month I was assigned Mommy’s Menu. Toni is a stay at home Mom to 7. SEVEN! I’m tired just thinking about it. Her recipes are my kind of […]

Fritos in a dessert? I know. How could this delicious salty snack be in a dessert? When I saw Tiffanee’s post over at One Crazy Cookie for these bars I was immediately intrigued. I love sweet and salty together and this dessert sounded different and yummy! I’ve made quite a few recipes from Tiffanee’s blog. […]

I think I might have a thing for Poke Cakes now. After making out Chocolate Caramel Toffee Poke Cake, I am sold! And when I saw this one over on Chef in Training, holy heck. It sounded amazing. So…. I made it, of course. We had a big family trip to the beach over the […]

School has started which means I’m back to work again. I was kind of ready to go back to work but dreading the whole morning routine thing. The scramble each morning to make lunches, get the kids fed and dressed and all of us out the door by 7am. It’s my least favorite part of […]

If you’re looking for a rich, amazingly delicious dessert, this one is for you. I have to warn you, though, it is so not low calorie! Good golly, I’m pretty sure I gained weight just making it! I took these to the beach with me when I went with my family. They were gone in […]

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 […]
This may not look like much but let me tell you… it is delicious! My kids and I love root beer floats and have seen a lot of homemade popsicles out there that claim to be rootbeer floats, but they are imposters. Thanks to Almost Unschoolers for this amazing find because here is a real […]
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 […]
I have decided that April Fools Day is one of my favorite holidays. Sounds a little strange maybe but fun food and me? Yep, we go together like peanut butter and jelly. And April Fools Day screams fun food. So what do you think about our Deviled Eggs? Who doesn’t love deviled eggs, right? Oh […]
Magic banana? Yep, magic banana. Well, magic banana trick maybe. I guess the banana itself isn’t magic. Or maybe it is. Either way, your kids will think you are magic! Are you ready??? Your going to give your kids bananas and say “abracadabra” and then poof – their banana will be already sliced inside the […]
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 […]
I have a little thing about vampires. I was about to write “I’m embarrassed to say” but I’m not. What the heck. I’m obsessed. I said it. Seriously, I am. It all started with the Twilight books and has gone a little out of control since. =o) If you need to know a good book […]
Oh, the pressure. My son’s request to make “fun food” every Saturday night for dinner is already getting to me. How do people come up with all these ideas??? Well, however they do it, I’m just grateful they do. That way I can copy them and my kids think I’m amazing =o) Jill over at […]
