Who doesn’t love a good slow cooker recipe?! It’s truly the best of both all worlds – you come home from work and your house smells wonderful, you don’t have to turn on the oven for hours and there aren’t a bunch of dishes to clean up afterwards. Win, win in my book! We had […]

I love pasta salad but for some reason I don’t make it nearly as much as I should. (Or would like.) I’m not sure why because it’s so easy and perfect to have in the fridge. I can take a bowl of it to work for lunch and as is right in the world. =o) […]

Here’s another fun and simple idea to do for your kid’s teachers. We made some brownies and printed out these tags from Happy Home Fairy. I wasn’t quite sure how to wrap up the brownies since it’s been pretty warm here lately and the brownies had a chocolate, fudge type topping (of course.) So we […]
[Continue reading...]The Story Zymbol™ was ‘accidentally’ created when company Founder Sally Short was doodling, and wrote down the phrase ‘LOVE IS ALL U NEED’ stacking each letter on top of the next, and then adding a peace sign to complete the design. Sally then sent the design off to be cast as a ‘Love and Peace’ […]

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 […]
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 […]
I saw this “recipe” in the Family Fun magazine while at the Doctor’s office and thought I’d give it a try. Anything to make dinner time fun, right? My kids LOVED it! And it was easy to make. I took hot dogs and cut them into 4 pieces. Then I took raw spaghetti noodles and […]
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 […]
This was one of my first posts (and it’s a pretty poorly done one.) So I thought I would repost this. It’s one of my son’s favorite meals and he asks for it all the time. I’m not sure if he likes eating the hot dogs and noodles or if it’s just the way he […]
