[Continue reading...]I’m pretty sure everyone is a popcorn fan in one form or another. Right? Popcorn is delicious and not high in calories (unless you cover it in sugar, of course.) JOLLY TIME has been around since 1914 so when they say they know a lot about popcorn, of course they do! They are the original […]

The mini cheesecakes are amazing and then topped with our homemade Caramel Sauce and then sprinkled with course sea salt? Holy heck! […]

My son wanted a Nerf birthday party. Do you know how hard it is to find Nerf party things out there??? It’s darn near impossible. Tiffanee over at One Crazy Cookie made our Nerf Birthday Party Invitations which were a giant hit! I don’t know how she does it but she is a computer […]

Who doesn’t love Caramel Sauce?! I love it! On ice cream, in cookies, in cupcakes. You name it. We use a lot of caramel when baking. And sure, you can use the store bought caramels and melt them down. I just love unwrapping all those tiny things (I say sarcastically.) Or you could make your […]

I never know what to give to my Dad for Father’s Day. He has everything and always says to me “don’t spend your money on me.” So I bake for him. And he LOVES it! He’s one of my favorite people to bake for. He’s always so appreciative and says wonderful things about my baking. […]

It’s Secret Recipe Club time again this month. Man, what a crazy month! Between the end of the school year (for both me and my kids), trying to get everything wrapped up at work and way too many crises to have to deal with at work and my son’s birthday and Father’s Day. Holy heck. […]

The grocery store by my house has these great little brownie bites in the bakery section. They are delicious but they cost $1.79 for each one! $1.79! Are you kidding me?!?! I could eat about 6 of them! So I bought a couple, of course, and ate them and while I enjoyed every single bite […]

I had all these grand plans to do great things this Easter. Some of them got done but a lot of them are still in my “to do” pile. Crud. At 6am when I was getting ready to pack my kid’s lunch for school I remembered I wanted to pack their lunch a little differently. […]
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 – […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
It’s no secret that I love fun food. I love making it. I love serving it to my kids. It makes me smile. So this was right up my alley. And it’s kind of Halloween-y, right? Kind of? This recipe came out of the cookbook Simple 1-2-3 Cooking for Kids. Ingredients: * Jumbo past shells […]
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. […]
