We seem to be on a cinnamon roll. Ha! Get it… cinnamon roll. Cinnamon roll? Oh man. It’s early. I haven’t had enough sleep and I’m getting rummy. But what do I do when I’m super tired and my kids won’t let me sleep? I bake. Yep. I know, it’s crazy. But I do. Have […]

If you know me at all you know that I love the beach. I’m not sure what it is about the beach – the calming noise of the ocean, the smell of the beach and clean air, the feel of the warm sand on my feet. Maybe it’s a combination of all of that. I’ve […]

It’s no secret that my kids and I have a thing for cinnamon rolls. We made homemade cinnamon rolls, cinnamon roll bites with maple frosting and cinnamon roll pancakes (all super yum!) So when I saw these cinnamon roll cookies over on Everyday Sisters I was so excited. They looked delicious and super easy to […]

It’s one of the best desserts I’ve had in quite awhile. (I use dessert kind of loosely… I had it for breakfast a […]

If you read my other post on lunch box notes you know that my daughter loves to have little notes in her lunch box. And if I re-use one she comes home and says “you already put that in my lunch, Mom.” And sometimes she even gives me a “duh, did you forget?” What the? […]

Have you ever been to the Oregon Coast? It’s my favorite place to go – summer or winter. We love everything about it. We hit our favorite places every time we go there: Cannon Beach Bakery, Bruce’s Candy Kitchen, the cookie store. You get the idea. For some reason the sweet tooth comes out when […]

I received an invitation a little while back from Tina from Mom’s Crazy Cooking asking me if I wanted to participate in the Crazy Cooking Challenge she is hosting. Let’s see… crazy… cooking… challenge… yes, please! I’m always game for something crazy (or is that cooking???) The challenge this month is Macaroni and Cheese. We […]

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 […]

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’ve decided that I’m a little bored with cooking. I make the same basic things for dinners and I’m getting tired of it. Dinner should be fun, right? So that’s our new theme for the summer. Fun food! So we bought a couple of fun kid’s cookbooks. This is the first thing we made – […]
Because, really… isn’t everything better on a stick? Heck yeah! And how cute are these little mummy heads? I just loved them. We gobbled up our Mummy Twinkie Pops (holy smokes, were they good!) And we wanted to do another fun mummy treat this Halloween so we decided on these. Mummy Oreo Suckers Source: How […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
