Food, Crafts and Fun
I just love participating in the Secret Recipe Club. I love getting my email from Tina telling me which blog I am assigned to for the month and I LOVE going through said blog and looking at all the amazing recipes and trying to narrow it down to just one recipe to make. Call me […]

I’ll be the first to admit it – I am in love with bread. Yep, you read that right. I love it. I love everything about it. I get extremely sad when I hear people can’t eat it. It’s just not right. But something I love more than bread? Donuts! But that’s a different […]

Angry birds seem to be the thing right now. When we were trick or treating there were so many houses that had Angry Bird pumpkins. They were super cool. So when I saw this cute sandwich over on Jill’s blog, Kitchen Fun with My Three Sons, this just seemed like the perfect fun meal. And […]

I can hardly believe it’s that time again. A month has passed since the Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Challenge. This month… the ultimate mashed potatoes. I don’t know about you guys but I love mashed potatoes. They make me happy. And what better way to serve mashed potatoes than all loaded up with goodness and […]

Is it any secret that I have a sweet tooth? I know. It’s horrible. But I think I’m on the quest for the perfect dessert. Yep, I’m going to call it that. A quest. So I’ll keep making desserts until I find the ultimate, hands down, holy cow I think I might die and go […]

I’m not sure what the “official” name of this candy is. It totally depends on which website you look at. The site that I found called it Stained Glass Candy. My daughter said “wait a minute. These are Jolly Ranchers.” (She’s a genius.) =o) This is the recipe we used for our Broken Glass Cupcakes […]

Happy Halloween If I had a ton of free time and wasn’t working and raising two kids on my own, I would take a pumpkin carving class. Do they have those??? Well, they should. Because if they did I would take them and do amazing things like these. Spider Man ET This one’s great! Gizmo […]

I’m totally having fun with this whole fun food for dinner Saturday night. I love seeing my kid’s faces when I put their plate on the table. I love hearing “no way. Great job, Mom.” It makes my entire day! And how could I not make this for Halloween?!?! I’m not sure where I saw […]

Have you ever just wanted to give someone a finger??? Not the finger… a finger. Ha! I crack myself up sometimes. (I’m hoping that’s not a bad thing….) I found this great finger pan from Wilton last Halloween but never got a chance to use it. So it was calling our name from the […]

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 […]
I’m not much of a prankster. It’s not that I don’t think they’re funny. I just don’t do them. Well, not a lot at least =o) So for me, April Fools Day isn’t really a big deal. But it’s like I said in my St. Patrick’s Day post, “now that I’m a Mom I have […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 – […]
