Food, Crafts and Fun
Whenever I go to my Dad’s I bring treats. He loves them and I love baking for him! I wanted to make something Eastery but not too complicated. I love all the Easter cookies out there but I’m not a decorator (sigh.) I wish I were but it’s sooooo hard and I don’t have the […]

I love making candy. Well, not candy… but chocolates. You can make exactly what you like and then yum… gobble them up. I found this great Easter Egg silicon mold at my favorite store, Decorette Shop. I could stay there all day! I love it! Oreo Truffle Easter Eggs * melting chocolate * Oreos […]

Silly Putty. If you’re anywhere in your 30’s or 40’s you remember silly putty. I remember being in 3rd grade and my best friend’s dad used to work at night and sleep during the day. We used to sneak inside the house during the day and she would say “we don’t have to be […]

I know. Don’t judge me. You’re thinking “that’s totally gross!” But admit it… you’re next thought is “but totally cool!” Right? Come on, admit it. These cookies are totally gross and totally cool at the same time. That’s why we had to make them. A friend on Facebook posted this link on my wall […]

Have you ever had one of those days when everything goes wrong? You wake up and you don’t feel so great? You’re late for work? Then work just doesn’t go as planned (meaning kids freaking out, parents yelling for reasons that make no sense and co-workers stressing out because students are out of control)? I’m the […]

I was so excited when I received my blog assignment for The Secret Recipe Club for March and read that it was That Skinny Chick Can Bake. I’ve been following Lizzy’s blog for quite awhile now and absolutely love it. I love all the amazing and creative desserts that she makes (that’s my weakness just in case […]

Have you ever tried alligator? Yes, you read that right – alligator. Have you tried it? Don’t judge. And I apologize to all of the people out there who think that’s appalling eating a creature that’s so…. what? Wonderful? No, that’s not it. Weird? Maybe that’s it. =o) But in my defense… it’s delicious!!! A […]

These have been on my to do list ever since I saw them over on Meet the Dubiens! The question that kept coming to my mind was “how the heck is this going to work?” And when that question goes through my mind… I have to figure it out. So 14 months later… here we […]

Do your kids watch iCarly on Nickelodeon? My kids love it. One of the things that Spencer (one of the characters) makes is spaghetti tacos. My kids have been asking me to make them for some time but I just never did. They didn’t sound all that appetizing to me. Spaghetti in a taco shell? […]
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 […]
In keeping with our fun food theme we made these cute sloppy Joe cars. What do you think? (You didn’t miss our other fun food posts, did you? Octodogs and Shells, Aliens for dinner and our Squiddlers.) These were simple to make and will be a big hit with the kids. You will need: * […]
Normally by now I’ve posted a few Thanksgiving fun food recipes. Apparently I’m a little slow this year. I can’t believe this is our first (and only one!) But it is a fun one. How cute are these little guys? I thought my kids would have a great time making these. I bought all the […]
Here is an easy and fun treat for the kids. They didn’t turn out as cool as I had hoped. I think it was because there was so many bubbles in our 7 Up. But the kids didn’t seem to mind. PrintGummy Bear Popsicles Ingredients7 Up Gummy BearsInstructionsLet your 7 Up sit out for […]
I have a confession to make. You know those little recipe books that you always see in the check out stand? They are usually themed – Halloween, Christmas, cookies, crockpot recipes. You know the ones. I am addicted to them. Yep, I said it out loud. I love them. I love looking through them and […]
I haven’t done a single thing for the 4th of July =o( Where have I been??? We typically don’t do much for the 4th, though. It’s always been one of those holidays where I’m frustrated because of all the loud noises that keep waking my kids up! Does that make me grouchy? =o( But a […]
I mentioned in my last post for our Faux Deviled Eggs that I love April Fools Day and all the fun food ideas. Well, here’s another super cute idea. How about making a Chicken Not Pie for dinner for your kids. Did you catch that? Chicken Not Pie. I know, clever right? (Or were you […]
