Food, Crafts and Fun
I’ve been wanting to make beignets for a couple of years now. Ever since I was reading a wonderful book series where the characters would sit outside the Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans and eat warm beignets, licking the powdered sugar off their fingers. Doesn’t that sound wonderful? Okay, confession time… the book is […]

What better way to say thank you to your teacher than with chocolate. Seriously. I work in a school. Chocolate it always good =o) I found these great printable labels over on Detail-Oriented Diva. I love when I can find printables because I’m so not capable to creating anything like this. My kids filed up […]

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 saw these on Pinterest before Christmas and immediately pinned it. Don’t they look yummy? I just love, love, love those pastel mints. I have only seen them at the Pepperidge Farm stores but my co-worker tells me they are available in the store. But I’ve never seen them =o( They were delicious! I mean […]

It shouldn’t be news that I am in love with pound cake. I love everything about it. Even the large quantity of eggs and calories that make it taste so darn good. We devour our Grandmother Paul’s Sour Cream Pound Cake every time we make it. We gobbled up the Trisha Yearwood’s Chocolate Pound Cake. […]

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 […]
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’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. […]
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 […]
I can’t believe it’s the middle of October and I haven’t even posted a Halloween recipe or crafts yet. Ugh. Life is a little overwhelming right now but I’ve decided to kick it into gear and get my Halloween on. So the first Halloween recipe for this year is for Candy Corn Cookies. Aren’t they […]
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 […]
A friend of mine at work bought this amazingly awesome ice cube tray mold for me. I thought it was a giant compliment when she said “I saw this and thought of you.” Seriously! How cool is that! I love it when people see weird but extremely cool things and actually think of me. What […]
The weather here in Oregon has been really off the past couple of months. It was stinkin’ hot for awhile and then summer kind of disappeared the end of August. I’m not real happy about it. I LOVE the nice weather. Well, let me rephrase that. I love wearing flip flops and shorts. My wardrobe […]
