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 […]

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 […]

I’ve decided that I’m a little bored with cooking. I make the same basic things for dinners and I’m getting tired of it. Dinner should be fun, right? So that’s our new theme for the summer. Fun food! So we bought a couple of fun kid’s cookbooks. This is the first thing we made – […]
Have you ever just wanted to give someone a finger??? Not the finger… a finger. Ha! I crack myself up sometimes. (I’m hoping that’s not a bad thing….) I found this great finger pan from Wilton last Halloween but never got a chance to use it. So it was calling our name from the […]
We’re taking a little break from all of our holiday desserts to bring you a dinner idea. Crazy, right? Not so much if you know me. I just love making fun foods for my kids and with Easter coming up, I thought these Sloppy Joe Baskets would be fun to serve for dinner. They look […]
Happy 4th of July everyone! What are you doing tonight? I’m going to hope I don’t fry my eyebrows while I watch the amazed looks on my kids face as the fireworks go off. They love fireworks. Well, not the loud ones. =o) When I saw these adorable Corn Dog Cookies over on Sue’s blog, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I’ve decided I love my food markers. I mean seriously. Who ever came up with that idea is a genius. Because we’re having so much fun with them. Who wouldn’t love a cup of this hot chocolate in the morning?! My kids thought it was great. They thought I bought the marshmallows like this. […]
