Food, Crafts and Fun
We just loved this cute Valentine idea when we saw it over on Make It Do. What a perfect gift for my kid’s teachers, don’t you think? Have you noticed that we are into all this corny stuff? I like the goofy sayings. These were so easy to make (double bonus!) We used Rolos (my […]

I just thought these were too cute to not make. Little Gnome kisses! The idea came from my favorite kid friendly go to craft site, Family Fun. I just love that site (but I’ve said that a thousand times.) They were easy to make (minus the burns from my darn glue gun.) All you need […]

Are you a scrapbooker? I am. I love it. I’ve been scrapbooking for years. It’s totally therapeutic for me to sit there and “zone out” and get into my creative groove. =o) The one part about scrapbooking that I don’t like, though, is the amount of “stuff” that you have to have. There’s papers and […]

I absolutely love casseroles! I don’t know what it is about them, but they rock my world. But combine this love with a small amount of pickiness and I have a hard time finding really good casseroles that I love. When a co-worker emailed me this recipe I quickly read all the ingredients and did […]

We’re on the search for the perfect Valentine’s Dad candy or cookie. Something to mail to my nephew. At Christmas time I told him that he was officially a member of the Dessert of the Month Club. That means Aunt Erin has to send a dessert to him every month. The only problem is, he […]

It seems crazy that Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching. Heck, it was just Christmas! I have a love-hate relationship with Valentine’s Day. I love doing things with my kids and making crafts and things like that. But the adult part of Valentine’s Day kind of makes me want to barf. I know. I’m sorry to […]

Bacon + cheese + cresent dough = heaven in my book. These were so easy to make and they were so good!!! I was kind of amazed at just how good they were. I ate the entire batch. Really. I’m not just saying that. I ate the entire batch! Yikes! I got this recipe from […]

I saw this great idea on Pinterest. Doesn’t everything come from Pinterest these days? It’s so easy and I absolutely love it! Okay, back to the idea. Scrabble tile coasters! How cute are these?!?! Do I say that about everything? I do. Apparently I’m pretty free with my love of food and crafts. Well rounded […]

My kids LOVE soft pretzels dipped in cinnamon and sugar. When we go to the factory outlet mall, that’s our treat. We don’t go very often though. And they ask for them… often! So I googled soft pretzel bites and found this recipe on Two Peas and Their Pod. It looked reasonable. (Not super easy […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
One of the best things I’ve done with my kids is taking them camping. I was a little afraid the first time we went. It was just me and my two, very young, children. We had so much fun. Now, 5 years later, it’s the highlight of our summer when we go camping. We load […]
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 […]
So what do you think? Have we been doing it up, Thanksgiving style? (Maybe not if you’re a grown up. But we don’t really have one of those in our house.) =o) But my kids have loved all the fun treats we’ve made so far. We tried our first Turkey Cookie. Then we sugar-ed it […]
To continue our April Fools Day fun food extravaganza, we have a simple but fun one for you today – Peanut Butter Potstickers. They don’t totally look like potstickers, but my kids didn’t care. They loved them. And they were so simple to make. Thanks Party Pinching for this great idea. What you’ll need: * […]
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 […]
