This bread combines the cinnamon-y goodness of a Snickerdoodle cookie and Hershey’s Cinnamon Chips (my favorite!) and puts them in a moist, sweet, and buttery bread. And the crispy cinnamon and sugar topping sends this over the top. Thank goodness the recipe makes 5 mini loaves because my son and I ate an entire […]

I saw this idea on Pinterest and loved it. Unfortunately it was just an image on Pinterest so I don’t know who to give credit to. Regardless, I knew we had to try it out on our next camping trip. And it was perfect! My kids and I could wash our hands without having to […]

We have another delicious camp fire treat for you today. (I told you we loved our Pie Irons.) These are similar to our Campfire Apple Pies but because we called them Pop Tarts, we could eat them for breakfast. Ah heck, who am I kidding, we ate the Campfire Apple Pies for breakfast too. They have […]

So when I was perusing Canela Kitchen (my Secret Recipe Club assignment for this month) and came across Gloria’s post on Oven Zucchini with Cheese […]

Who doesn’t know the name Crayola? I don’t think there’s a person out there. If there is, I don’t want to know them. I mean seriously! It’s Crayola! It’s a name we know and trust for quality school and crafting supplies. Crayola has come out with some new summer products that are so much fun! […]

I pinned this recipe quite some time ago and put it into my “Fun Food Ideas” board. I mean, seriously, of course I was going to make it. They are adorable! And with the movie Turbo coming out, I figured it was the perfect time to surprise my kids. My son wants to see Turbo badly. […]

My son’s birthday party was a huge success! No thanks to the internet and the lack of Nerf food out there in blog land. But we managed to figure it out and my son (and his friends) had a blast. (No pun intended.) We sent out the invitations. Tiffanee from One Crazy Cookie made our […]

Summer + warm weather and you know what that means – zucchini! And lots of it. We LOVE zucchini! It’s probably my favorite vegetable because you can serve it so many different ways and do so many things with it. I know this isn’t the healthiest of ways to eat this delicious vegetable but it […]

Did you read the title and think “what the heck?” If you did, you’re not alone. When I first heard of roasting Starburst candies over the campfire I was pretty skeptical. Number one, there’s no chocolate so that usually rules me out. And number two, what the heck? How would that even work??? But when […]
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: * […]
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 – […]
My daughter saw these wonderful looking treats in her Fancy Nancy Tea Parties book. (Did I mention we LOVE Fancy Nancy?!) Her books are stupendous (that’s fancy for great!) I did an earlier post from this book as well. Click here to see it. So Ellie saw these and said to me “oh, let’s make […]
My daughter’s pre-school class has been learning Japanese all year. It’s so cool to hear her speak and she is so proud when she comes home and tells me the new words she has learned. At the school’s Spring Fling Bar-B-Que her class sang “Jesus Loves Me” in Japanese! In Japanese!!! She’s 5 years old! […]
I know. Don’t judge me. You’re thinking “that’s totally gross!” But admit it… you’re next thought is “but totally cool!” Right? Come on, admit it. These cookies are totally gross and totally cool at the same time. That’s why we had to make them. A friend on Facebook posted this link on my wall […]
This might be the last of our Easter treats for this year. But seriously, don’t hold me to that. Sometimes we just bake on a whim so there might be more =o) So guess where I saw this cute idea. Give up? It’s another Family Fun magazine idea. I am totally in love with that […]
This is my attempt at making a Thanksgiving cookie. I was planning on making all kinds of cute little turkey cookies but instead I decided to throw myself down the stairs and mess up my ankle. I know. Turkey cookies or the emergency room? Is it a tough choice? Apparently it was for me. I […]
