Food, Crafts and Fun
I don’t know about all of you but I am so ready for Spring. Here in Oregon, though, that means rain… and lots of it. But after a lifetime spent here, we’re all used to it. At least it’s warm rain. (Is there such a thing???) So let’s get spring going, and kick off with […]

This idea is all over Pinterest and I just loved it. But what I don’t love? When I click on a picture on Pinterest and it takes me no where! It just goes to the picture. I want the website and a tutorial on how to make said awesome idea. Ugh! So I had to […]

I saw this idea years ago and thought it was pretty cute. Simple (which always catches my attention) and different. It’s a candy holder. Cute, right? I bought these little feeders at Wilco. Yep, you read that right. Feeders! They are chicken (or chick) feeders. At least I think that’s what they are called. I’m […]

I have to be honest with you, I don’t think I’ve ever had a scone. They’ve never really appealed to me. I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because everyone says they are great with coffee. I don’t drink coffee. Maybe it’s because they don’t seem sweet enough, more like a buscuit. And let’s just be […]

We are bath product snobs in my house. No, let’s rephrase that. We’re bath product aficionados. That sounds much better right? We love things that smell wonderful and I’ve passed that love on to my kids. When it comes to body wash, we have about 15 different scents to chose from each bath. My daughter […]

A Brownie Zinger??? What the heck, right? What’s a Brownie Zinger? That’s exactly what I was thinking not so long ago. Then Ruth’s Kitchen introduced me to them. A Brownie Zinger is basically the crunchy tops of their (Ruth’s Kitchen) famous brownies. They are like a brownie and a crunchy cookie combined. You get the […]

Who knew they made Carrot Cake M&Ms. No, that’s not a question. That’s a statement. Who knew! I saw them over on Inside BruCrew Life and was intrigued. I say intrigued because I wasn’t totally sold on them right away. I mean seriously. Carrot Cake M&Ms? If you know me at all you know […]

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, […]
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’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 – […]
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 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 […]

Do they look like hot dogs? Of course they do. But are they? Well, sort of. They’re hot dogs, but not the kind you eat for lunch. You eat these hot dogs for dessert! I found the recipe for these over on The Seven Year Cottage. I changed it up just a little bit. They used […]
