It’s official, I’m on a giant pasta salad kick. I love everything about pasta, hot or cold. But there’s something about a pasta salad that is easy and so delicious. It’s one of those things I can take for lunch and not have to worry if I’m going to have time to go find a microwave. […]

With how much baking we do in my house it’s ironic that my son’s favorite dessert of all time is Cosmic Brownies. You know. The store bought ones. What the heck?!?! I can’t really blame him, though. I remember as a kid growing up thinking the best “treat” was a store bought cake. My Mom […]

I have a confession to make. I’m in love. Yep, head over heals in love! With these sandals! I’m on my feet a lot during the day. I work in a middle school so I have to keep up with 550 sprouting pre-teens. If that’s not enough to make your feet hurt, add to that […]

I absolutely love toffee and chocolate together and these cookies? To die for! The buttery crust and condensed milk filling puts these Chocolate Toffee Bars at the top of my list. Our cookies didn’t turn out like the picture on Pinterest but when I bit into one of them I realized I didn’t care. They […]

Who doesn’t love brownies? They are one of my favorite desserts with all the chocolatey goodness. They are so easy to make and you can seriously make a hundred different kinds. How could I not love that?! Culinary Envy called these Mind Blowing Brownie Bites. I think I’m changing the name of them. They remind […]

Every summer my Dad organizes a family beach trip. It’s one of my favorite weeks in the summertime. We eat and talk and walk on the beach. It’s relaxing and wonderful and my kids and I love it. One of the things I love about this week is planning what I’m going to bring for […]

When you hear “loaded baked potato” what do you think of? A big baked potato smothered in sour cream, cheese and bacon, right? Sure, because isn’t that what a loaded baked potato is? They are delicious and I could probably eat them everyday but it’s summertime now. I don’t want to cook potatoes in my […]

Happy Labor Day Weekend! I can’t believe I’m writing that. Labor Day! It was just June. I know I’ve been writing “where has the time gone” in my last few posts but, seriously! Where did the summer go? The school year ended with me exhausted, frustrated and I seemed to have lost my desire to […]

A co-worker asked me to come into her classroom and teach her students a fun craft project. The ability level of the kids was completely across the board so I wanted to do something that they all could do. I decided Corner Bookmarks was what we were going to make. I figured the students could […]

Oh yes I did! We took camping desserts to a whole new level this time. If you missed our post on Campfire Desserts you have to check it out. Seriously! It’s a must. It’s kinda what camping is all about. Well, that and nature, of course. But mostly delicious desserts cooked over the campfire. We […]

Angry birds seem to be the thing right now. When we were trick or treating there were so many houses that had Angry Bird pumpkins. They were super cool. So when I saw this cute sandwich over on Jill’s blog, Kitchen Fun with My Three Sons, this just seemed like the perfect fun meal. And […]
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. […]
I’m always on the search for fun foods to make for me… I mean my kids. Ah heck, who am I foolin’. I’d make these adorable scooter snacks even if I didn’t have kids. They are so cute. And all the ingredients that I love! Adorable, right? I found this in the August 2010 edition […]
I’ve decided I love my food markers. I mean seriously. Who ever came up with that idea is a genius. Because we’re having so much fun with them. Who wouldn’t love a cup of this hot chocolate in the morning?! My kids thought it was great. They thought I bought the marshmallows like this. […]
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 […]
I’m beginning to get a little tired of the rain around here. It’s May for heaven’s sake and it’s pouring outside. I want summer! I want to be able to open up my windows and smell the fresh air. I want to wear sandals and capris and not feel like I’m frozen. I want to […]
I’ve seen these around blogland for awhile now and wondered if they would be good or just plain weird. My daughter loves corn dogs. So would she love these??? So I hopped on over to My Kitchen Adventures to see what I needed to do. How simple!!! I used a Corn Bread Muffin mix (the […]
We have another fun and delicious Halloween treat for you today. Aren’t these little guys cute? I’m not sure what my favorite part of them is: the delicious white chocolate coating? Or the mouth watering Oreo Cream Cheese filling? Maybe it’s a tie. We found this recipe over on the The Recipe Critic PrintMummy Cookie […]
