Food, Crafts and Fun
Do you have one of these? Have you heard of it? If not (and if you have small children) you are missing out! Meet Zachary! This is our Elf. Zachary came to visit us last Christmas time. Zachary came with a sweet book telling all about Santa’s helper. My kids named him Zachary. (I’m not […]

Can you believe I haven’t baked in over 2 weeks? I know! If you know me, you know how much that hurts me to even type that. Baking is therapy for me. But it’s more than that. It’s a time when my kids and I gather in the kitchen, laugh and create wonderful things to […]

It’s almost here! It’s almost here! I can’t wait. This is truly my most favorite time of year. I LOVE Christmas time! I love Christmas movies. Yes, even the sappy ones and the cartoons. Even though I have seen them a million times, I still cry at the ending. I love all the decorations and […]

I can hardly believe we are already at week 9 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies Blog Hop. This has been so much fun seeing everyone’s amazing creations. My stack of “to make” recipes is now huge but I can’t wait to start baking them all! We still haven’t been doing much cooking at […]

This is my attempt at making a Thanksgiving cookie. I was planning on making all kinds of cute little turkey cookies but instead I decided to throw myself down the stairs and mess up my ankle. I know. Turkey cookies or the emergency room? Is it a tough choice? Apparently it was for me. I […]

When I saw this recipe over on Cookies and Cups I knew it was going to be one of my new favorite cookies. The pictures were so delicious looking and I love buttery shortbread cookies. So I thought this would be perfect for week 8 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies Blog Hop. Yep, […]
[Continue reading...]Does this look like the face of a happy boy? I’d say so! And what brought all this unexpected joy to him, you may ask. It’s kind of a cool thing. Are you ready (because you won’t believe it)… On October 10th Cartoon Network was having a Ben 10 Alien marathon. What’s Ben 10? You […]

Every Christmas I try to organize a cookie exchange at work. It gives me a reason to bake a billion cookies and I love coming home with an assortment of different cookies for the holidays. One year a co-worker brought in these cookies. They have a lot of different names: Russian Teacakes, Mexican Wedding Cakes, […]

Have you ever seen these things? They are egg molds? Egg what??? Egg molds! I saw them awhile ago and have been wanting to get them to try them out and here they are. Pretty cool looking aren’t they? You’re probably wondering why in the world anyone would want these things though, right? Well, I […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 have a confession to make. You know those little recipe books that you always see in the check out stand? They are usually themed – Halloween, Christmas, cookies, crockpot recipes. You know the ones. I am addicted to them. Yep, I said it out loud. I love them. I love looking through them and […]
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 […]
We’re taking a little break from all of our holiday desserts to bring you a dinner idea. Crazy, right? Not so much if you know me. I just love making fun foods for my kids and with Easter coming up, I thought these Sloppy Joe Baskets would be fun to serve for dinner. They look […]
What do you think of Twinkies? I think people either love them or hate them. I love them. I’m not sure why. If I think about it too long I start to question my love of spongy yellow cake and frosting. So I don’t think about it for too long =o) For awhile, years ago, […]
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. […]
