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 […]

It’s no secret that I love fun food. I love making it. I love serving it to my kids. It makes me smile. So this was right up my alley. And it’s kind of Halloween-y, right? Kind of? This recipe came out of the cookbook Simple 1-2-3 Cooking for Kids. Ingredients: * Jumbo past shells […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
This was one of my first posts (and it’s a pretty poorly done one.) So I thought I would repost this. It’s one of my son’s favorite meals and he asks for it all the time. I’m not sure if he likes eating the hot dogs and noodles or if it’s just the way he […]
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. […]
Happy 4th of July everyone! What are you doing tonight? I’m going to hope I don’t fry my eyebrows while I watch the amazed looks on my kids face as the fireworks go off. They love fireworks. Well, not the loud ones. =o) When I saw these adorable Corn Dog Cookies over on Sue’s blog, […]
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 […]
