Food, Crafts and Fun
It’s Secret Recipe Club time again. Did you miss us last month? We all took a month off so Amanda (the founder of this great club) could do some revamping. But we’re back and are you ready for this one?!?! My blog assignment this month was Male Cotte – A Little Blog That Feeds a […]

A friend at work turned 30 this year. 30! That feels like forever ago. But she was kind of stressing that she was getting so old. It just made me laugh =o) This is what we made her for her birthday. Cute, right? I found this idea over on the Cricut website. I just love […]

This was one of those “who knew” dinners. I mean, I knew I would like it but who knew my kids would absolutely love it! My daughter’s exact words… “if I could Mom, I’d marry it.” Ha! Not too far from us (well, almost 40 minutes, but who’s counting) is the best Japanese market ever […]

Whenever we go to Dairy Queen (which isn’t very often) my son orders the Brownie Earthquake Sundae. It’s ice cream, brownies, hot fudge and crushed up Oreos. It’s pretty much heaven in a bowl. This morning I asked him what we should make for a dessert and he said “Brownie Earthquake”. I told him we […]

How much fun are these? I’m thinking these are going to be little party favors at my daughter’s birthday party in March. She loved them that much! And who could blame her. I’m sporting one on right now =o) I first saw them on the Family Fun website. (Have I mentioned how much I love […]

I have had so much fun participating with all the amazing bloggers in our quest for the ultimate choocolate chip cookie, the ultimate macaroni and cheese, the ultimate fudge recipe, the ultimate mashed potatoes and now the ultimate chocolate cake. Wow! That’s a lot of ultimates. […]

We kind of have a thing for rice crispy treats. And cereal. We love cereal. It’s kind of ridiculous. But did you ever watch Seinfeld? Remember Jerry’s kitchen and the huge array of cereal boxes he always had? That’s our house =o) I love choices and you never know what kind of cereal you may […]

Sweet Anne Design made these absolutely adorable labels for frappuccino bottles. I just love them! How can I pass them up? We made Halloween frappuccino bottles that I just loved. A co-worker has been giving me her bottles so I have a ton of them. So this was a no brainer for me. Of course […]

We have a lot of playdates with friends. It’s wonderful! We go to my work and the kids run through the school screaming, playing tag. They run until they can’t run anymore and then we make a craft. I love that both my kids love to make crafts. And this was definitely a fun one! […]

My kids have been invited to a birthday party … for a dog. Yep, you read that right. For a dog! I’d better be careful how much sarcasm I put in there. I would have totally done that for my dogs when they were alive. They were my first babies and I spoiled them rotten. […]

I love Halloween! Have I mentioned that? Yep, love it! And how could I not when this is what decorates my kitchen? Cool, right?! Dirty Q-Tips! Ha! I saw these over on Pinterest too. Along with the Bloody Band-Aid Cookies that we made. It originally came from Katherine Marie Photography. Super simple but the […]
Did you read the title and think “what the heck?” If you did, you’re not alone. When I first heard of roasting Starburst candies over the campfire I was pretty skeptical. Number one, there’s no chocolate so that usually rules me out. And number two, what the heck? How would that even work??? But when […]
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 […]
Are these the cutest cookies EVER?!?! Not to toot my own horn. Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t invent this recipe. I just stole it =o) But how could I NOT steal it, right?!?! After I saw this cookie on Raina’s blog The Garden of Yum I knew this was the next cookie I was […]
I am totally loving all of the great April Fool’s Day things people have posted the past couple of weeks! I love the pranks but mostly I love the fun food. You didn’t miss our Fakin’ and Eggs I hope! (We’re all about fun food at our house!) So we wanted to pack in two […]
What do you think of Twinkies? I think people either love them or hate them. I love them. I’m not sure why. If I think about it too long I start to question my love of spongy yellow cake and frosting. So I don’t think about it for too long =o) For awhile, years ago, […]
This is my attempt at making a Thanksgiving cookie. I was planning on making all kinds of cute little turkey cookies but instead I decided to throw myself down the stairs and mess up my ankle. I know. Turkey cookies or the emergency room? Is it a tough choice? Apparently it was for me. I […]
My Mom called me the other day and asked if I would bring a fruit tray to the family gathering we were having. To me, this was an open invitation for some fruit creativity. I mean, I could have just sliced up some fruit and plopped it on a plate. But really??? That’s not how […]
