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 […]

I’m not even sure I can type this post. I’m laughing too hard. ‘Cause seriously… this meal cracked me up. But even more hysterical than these totally adorable weenie men (that I found over on Casa de Luna) is the conversation that I had with my son. Are you ready for this??? My son: […]
We had so much fun making our Turkey Cookies with Nutter Butters that we wanted to make another Thanksgiving cookie. I think this one turned out much cuter than the other Turkey Cookies! I mean seriously, look at these little guys. too cute! I used the candy eyes which are my new favorite thing to […]
I love that I found these over on Mom Endeavors. I knew immediately that this was a Halloween snack we had to make. Super easy which means little helpers can do this one all on their own! What you’ll need: * stick pretzels * white melting chocolate * raisins * milk chocolate melting chocolate Arrange […]
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 […]
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? […]
My daughter saw these wonderful looking treats in her Fancy Nancy Tea Parties book. (Did I mention we LOVE Fancy Nancy?!) Her books are stupendous (that’s fancy for great!) I did an earlier post from this book as well. Click here to see it. So Ellie saw these and said to me “oh, let’s make […]

I can’t believe it’s the middle of October and I haven’t even posted a Halloween recipe or crafts yet. Ugh. Life is a little overwhelming right now but I’ve decided to kick it into gear and get my Halloween on. So the first Halloween recipe for this year is for Candy Corn Cookies. Aren’t they […]
