My kids love English Muffins. I’m not sure what it is about them. Maybe because they’re round or because they are airy and delicious. It’s hard to say with my kids. But if they love it, I try to figure out how to make it. It’s kind of what we do. I found this recipe […]

I don’t know what it is about pound cake but my kids and I love it! I’m pretty sure we could eat it daily if it was in the house. That’s why it’s not. Because seriously, I would eat it every day. This recipe is pretty darn good, thanks to Martha Stewart! Unfortunately I couldn’t […]

My kids and I love to go camping. We go every summer as many times as we can. Way back when (6 years ago) it was about the only thing I could afford to do during the summer time and I wanted to pass along my love of camping and the outdoors. Well, it worked. […]

When my son was in 2nd grade he came home one day and, in a very excited tone, said “Mom, guess what! Today we made butter!” Ever since he has asked if we could make butter at home. I’m not sure why it took so long, but we finally did. And, yowza! It was so […]

My daughter had a friend stay the night the other day and in the morning I went into the kitchen and started making these donuts. Her friend looked up from playing a serious game of “babies” and said to me “are you making a recipe?” I said I was and she screamed a very loud […]

I just thought these were totally festive and fun looking. You could do any color of sprinkles to change them up, but these are perfect to help celebrate the 4th. I think the trick to making these so colorful is the amount of sprinkles that are in them. I kind of thought “what the heck, […]

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! […]
We had so much fun making our Turkey Cookies with Nutter Butters that we wanted to make another Thanksgiving cookie. I think this one turned out much cuter than the other Turkey Cookies! I mean seriously, look at these little guys. too cute! I used the candy eyes which are my new favorite thing to […]
I love that I found these over on Mom Endeavors. I knew immediately that this was a Halloween snack we had to make. Super easy which means little helpers can do this one all on their own! What you’ll need: * stick pretzels * white melting chocolate * raisins * milk chocolate melting chocolate Arrange […]
I think I should just rename my blog “All the ideas I steal from Family Fun”. Seriously. Because whenever we get the magazine we all look through it and say “Oh, we have to make that!” about a million times. This was no exception. We had to make this, of course. I mean really… hot […]
I’m not much of a prankster. It’s not that I don’t think they’re funny. I just don’t do them. Well, not a lot at least =o) So for me, April Fools Day isn’t really a big deal. But it’s like I said in my St. Patrick’s Day post, “now that I’m a Mom I have […]
Yep, another Thanksgiving-ish recipe. I told you we were going to rock the Holidays! (If you missed that post, you can check it out here.) And after our delicious Pumpkin Spice Fudge, we needed a kid friendly crafty kind of dessert to make. Can you get any more kid friendly or crafty with these Turkey […]
You’re going to think this is either gross or totally cool. Or maybe a little bit of both. Either way, it’s perfect for Halloween! And my kids thought it was totally grossly cool! Sloppy Joe Intestines! Or maybe it’s Sloppy Joe Colon. But that sounds too gross, even for me. I found the idea here […]
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: * […]
