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 […]

Oh, the pressure. My son’s request to make “fun food” every Saturday night for dinner is already getting to me. How do people come up with all these ideas??? Well, however they do it, I’m just grateful they do. That way I can copy them and my kids think I’m amazing =o) Jill over at […]
Yep, another Thanksgiving-ish recipe. I told you we were going to rock the Holidays! (If you missed that post, you can check it out here.) And after our delicious Pumpkin Spice Fudge, we needed a kid friendly crafty kind of dessert to make. Can you get any more kid friendly or crafty with these Turkey […]
Normally when I look at Sue’s blog I sit back and think “Man, why can’t I do that?!” She is amazing and so talented when it comes to baking and decorating the cutest cookies ever. Then I saw this post and thought “holy smokes, I can do that!” I was so excited! I’m always looking […]
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 […]
This might be the last of our Easter treats for this year. But seriously, don’t hold me to that. Sometimes we just bake on a whim so there might be more =o) So guess where I saw this cute idea. Give up? It’s another Family Fun magazine idea. I am totally in love with that […]
I have decided that April Fools Day is one of my favorite holidays. Sounds a little strange maybe but fun food and me? Yep, we go together like peanut butter and jelly. And April Fools Day screams fun food. So what do you think about our Deviled Eggs? Who doesn’t love deviled eggs, right? Oh […]
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 […]
I know today is November 1st and Breast Cancer Awareness month was October but I just had to share this one with you. Plus today is “Wear Pink” day at my school. So, of course I had to bring cookies to help celebrate! And not just any cookies… Mammo-graham cookies. Ha! Get it?! Mammo – […]
