Food, Crafts and Fun
This is one of those recipes that I would never order in a restaurant. (Now that I think about it, do restaurants even serve Stuffed Green Peppers???) They remind me of my Grandparents. I used to make these and take them over to their house for them. What an easy recipe! I made two different […]

There are 2 more days of Teacher Appreciation Week. Have you appreciated your child’s teachers yet? I know there are a lot of people out there who think “why do I need to do anything? They get paid for what they do.” Well, I’m here to tell you first hand, not they don’t! I’m not […]

Have you seen the fun Snickers Candy Bars with words on them rather than the word ‘Snickers’? We found them awhile back and made gift cards for some of the classified employees at my school. I thought they were pretty fun. Then I found these giant Snickers bars and seriously, a giant Snickers bar just […]

It feels like every blog post I’ve written since December has started out with “holy heck! Where has the time gone.” How sad is that?!?! I feel like I’m about a week late to everything. Yep, everything! So on Sunday evening when I was sitting with my daughter and the question of when is teacher […]

It’s May 1st! What the heck?!?! This freaks me out for a lot of reasons. #1: there’s only 34 days of school left and I have about 99 more days of work to pack into those 34 days. #2: It feels like just yesterday that it was January. Does time go by quicker the older […]

We have an Asian grocery store fairly close to where we live and we love going there. I love all the different foods and spices. My kids love all the different candies and drinks. (So it’s kind of a win-win, right?) I’ve been making these for years and I love, love, love them! You can […]

I love making lunchbox notes for my kids. And they love getting them! But sometimes, it’s just easier to print off notes that someone else made rather than sit in front of my computer for a few hours creating them. So, on that note, I’m sharing all the amazing creations that I found on the […]

When I read my email and saw who my Secret Recipe Club assignment was this month I was so dang excited. Bewitching Kitchen is an amazing blog written by Sally. Sally was born and raised in Sao Paolo Brazil and has lived in California, Paris and now lives in Manhattan. I have a huge love of […]

I love April Fool’s Day. Love, love, love it! I love the fun food ideas to make for my kids. I love fun pranks to pull on my co-workers. Sadly, this month has been crazy busy and I’ve completely failed at making April Fool’s Day fun food. (Sigh.) But I had to do something, right? […]

The weather here has been ridiculous. It is cold and rainy – crazy rainy. I’m starting to mold! So what do I want? You know, besides desserts? Comfort food. Warm, delicious comfort food. This recipe totally fits the bill – delicious! You can add more sour cream, if you would like. I did because I love […]

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 […]
Owls and Halloween. Who ever decided these two things go together? Well, if you google it (which, of course, we did) it goes way back. Like, way, way back. According to Haunted Bay, the Romans were one of the first cultures that viewed owls as spooky creatures. The owl symbolized death, doom, or destruction and […]
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 […]
Halloween means fun food, right? At least in our house it does. I have to spice it up a little for my kids. So how could I not make these bloody band aide cookies??!! I saw these over on Pinterest (who got them from Katherine Marie Photography.) Do you pin? If not, you are so […]
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 […]
I think I should just rename my blog “All the ideas I steal from Family Fun”. Seriously. Because whenever we get the magazine we all look through it and say “Oh, we have to make that!” about a million times. This was no exception. We had to make this, of course. I mean really… hot […]
I had all these grand plans to do great things this Easter. Some of them got done but a lot of them are still in my “to do” pile. Crud. At 6am when I was getting ready to pack my kid’s lunch for school I remembered I wanted to pack their lunch a little differently. […]
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 […]
