Food, Crafts and Fun
A co-worker of mine introduced me to this salad a couple of years ago. I think it’s one of my favorite salads of all time. I make a big batch of it and eat it, seriously, for breakfast, lunch and dinner! It’s crunchy and full of flavor! Ingredients: * 1 cup Miracle Whip * 1/4 […]

This has got to be one of my absolute, most favorite desserts of all time. It’s amazing! Not too sweet and completely satisfying! This is also one of my Dad’s favorites! I made this for him a couple of years ago for Christmas and it quickly went on his wish list for Christmas, his birthday […]
[Continue reading...]Tag! I’m it! Yeah! I love to play games. I’m a kid at heart. I’ll admit it. So when Tiffanee over at One Crazy Cookie tagged me, I was thrilled and honored. Thrilled because, like I said, I like to play =o) And honored because I love her blog. She posts the best recipes! What […]
[Continue reading...]Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms and Grandmothers out there! A day to celebrate you (uh, us, I guess.) How will your day be spent? Will your family make you breakfast in bed? Take you out to dinner? Send you a card in the mail or call you and say thank you? We’ll be […]

This just looks “Spring-y” doesn’t it? Kind of Easter-y (but it’s now past Easter so we’re going with Spring-y) =o) When I saw this recipe I thought my kids would love it. They love marshmallows. Especially my daughter. She could eat a bowl full of marshmallows for dessert. Yuck. I mean, I love chocolate and […]
[Continue reading...]Have you heard of Swagbucks? I’ve heard of it off and on for awhile now but never really looked into it until a couple of months ago. What the heck was I thinking?!?! I should have signed up months (or years) ago and started earning free stuff way back when. I love free stuff! Serious! […]

I am loving all the Teacher Appreciation Week gift ideas I am seeing out there. I want to make them all! I’m sure my kid’s teachers wouldn’t mind but unfortunately I can’t. But I’m saving them all for inspiration. I thought I’d share some of them with you. Aren’t they great?!?! Here are some […]

Here’s another great Teacher Appreciation gift idea. We can’t just do one thing. It’s Teacher Appreciation Week for heaven’s sake =o) And I thought this one was perfect! (Did you check out our candy gram idea too?) We also did this one for the secretaries at my kid’s school for Secretaries Day (yesterday). We can’t […]

I laugh when I hear myself say “back when I (fill in the blank)” because it makes me feel so old. But seriously, a lot has changed in my short 44 years on this planet. But really… back when I started working in the school system, things were different. The parents were different and the […]

Some days I just want something delicious and “comforting” that’s not sweet. I know! Who is this talking? But believe it or not, I would take a big bowl of mashed potatoes or mac and cheese over most desserts. So I stood in the kitchen and was looking through my cupboards and then the freezer […]

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 – […]
Have you ever seen this before? Is it the strangest thing ever?!?! It looks like it should be in some Star Wars movie or something. (Or do I just not get out enough???) I saw this over at the local fruit and veggie stand. It’s awesome! (The stand, that it.) I wasn’t sure what it […]
I pinned this recipe quite some time ago and put it into my “Fun Food Ideas” board. I mean, seriously, of course I was going to make it. They are adorable! And with the movie Turbo coming out, I figured it was the perfect time to surprise my kids. My son wants to see Turbo badly. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Here is an easy and fun treat for the kids. They didn’t turn out as cool as I had hoped. I think it was because there was so many bubbles in our 7 Up. But the kids didn’t seem to mind. PrintGummy Bear Popsicles Ingredients7 Up Gummy BearsInstructionsLet your 7 Up sit out for […]
Are these the cutest cookies EVER?!?! Not to toot my own horn. Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t invent this recipe. I just stole it =o) But how could I NOT steal it, right?!?! After I saw this cookie on Raina’s blog The Garden of Yum I knew this was the next cookie I was […]
