Have you seen these little candies in your area? Andes Peppermint Crunch. They are awesome! They look like crushed up candy canes but they aren’t. Far from it. They are creamy like chocolate but taste like peppermint. I love them. I first discovered them a few years ago and of course it was love at first […]

I’m not a huge salsa eater. I am when I’m in Mexico but I’m not a fan of super chunky salsa. The big chunks of raw onions? No thanks. Then a friend told me that she made salsa and let me try it. It was delicious! My first thought? “I want some!” So she gave […]

I love cookie swaps, don’t you? They remind me of Christmas, which is my favorite holiday EVER. And who doesn’t love cookies? (If you don’t, don’t answer that. We might not be able to be friends.) This is a little different type of cookie exchange. You don’t have to bake (but you also don’t get […]

For Halloween do you do silly fun or gory? We always do silly fun but I do like a little bit of the gross. So when I saw these cupcakes over on Pinterest (my new love) from Cakehead Loves Evil I knew we had to make them. Totally cool, right?!?! We made stained glass candy […]

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, […]
Halloween means fun food, right? At least in our house it does. I have to spice it up a little for my kids. So how could I not make these bloody band aide cookies??!! I saw these over on Pinterest (who got them from Katherine Marie Photography.) Do you pin? If not, you are so […]
Meatloaf and mashed potatoes are comfort food to me. I love them! My kids love them! And I love that my kids love them! But I wanted to kid it up a little. (We eat meatloaf a lot.) So I made my regular meatloaf. It’s nothing uber fancy. I buy the spice packet at the […]
Have you ever just wanted to give someone a finger??? Not the finger… a finger. Ha! I crack myself up sometimes. (I’m hoping that’s not a bad thing….) I found this great finger pan from Wilton last Halloween but never got a chance to use it. So it was calling our name from the […]
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 […]
Have you ever seen these things? They are egg molds? Egg what??? Egg molds! I saw them awhile ago and have been wanting to get them to try them out and here they are. Pretty cool looking aren’t they? You’re probably wondering why in the world anyone would want these things though, right? Well, I […]
