Food, Crafts and Fun
I’m in love. I know, crazy, right? Yep, I am. With this taco dip! It’s so darn delicious it makes me want to scream “muy bien! Mas pro favor!!!” Do you like how I did that? A little Spanish for you =o) But seriously. This dip is amazing! It’s called dip but that makes it […]

For week 6 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies blog hop we decided to make these bad boys. Their real name is Fudgy Chocolate Chip Toffee Bars. But we changed the recipe a little so we had to change the name. Where did I find this fantastic recipe you are wondering? In one of […]

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 just love that word – phalanges. It’s fun to say. But technically this bling isn’t on the phalanges. That would imply that it’s actually on the fingers and toes. But that’s a much “funner” word to say than toenails or fingernails, right? So we’ll stick with phalanges. I realize it’s not summer time anymore […]

I know brownies aren’t really cookies but when I saw these over at Buns In My Oven I knew I had to make them. I mean brownies AND cheesecake? That has my name all over it! I added a little something extra to her recipe… Heath toffee bits. Because doesn’t everything taste better with Heath […]

We started putting all of the Halloween craft supplies away last weekend. But before we did we had to make one last project. I saw this over at the Family Fun site. I don’t know why I don’t go there whenever I am looking for a craft to do. They have such great ideas! Materials […]

One of my all time favorite cookies is shortbread cookies. I love the buttery deliciousness of them and could eat way too many of them. But top them with milk chocolate and I’m in trouble. So when my kids and I found this awesome Wilton pan at my favorite store (that would be The Decorette […]

Are you tired of cookies yet? Nah. Me neither. Who gets tired of cookies? I mean, really! My son and I were on a search last weekend for a particular cookie that he wanted me to make. (That post will come later.) When we were googling we came across this recipe. It sounded so yummy […]

I’ve seen a lot of pumpkin variations out there in blog land. There are duct tape ones (which were pretty cool by the way) and glitter ones and painted and jeweled ones. I’m kind of the traditional orange pumpkin kind of gal. I like the carved basic pumpkin pumpkins. So I didn’t really pay too […]

There are a billion reasons why I love Halloween! Dressing up in costumes, watching all the little kids get excited, all of the decorations and festivities going on and the plethora of Halloween candy out there. I love Halloween candy! Okay, I love candy in general, but Halloween candy?! It calls my name. The miniature […]

I haven’t done a single thing for the 4th of July =o( Where have I been??? We typically don’t do much for the 4th, though. It’s always been one of those holidays where I’m frustrated because of all the loud noises that keep waking my kids up! Does that make me grouchy? =o( But a […]
For Halloween do you do silly fun or gory? We always do silly fun but I do like a little bit of the gross. So when I saw these cupcakes over on Pinterest (my new love) from Cakehead Loves Evil I knew we had to make them. Totally cool, right?!?! We made stained glass candy […]
This might be the last of our Easter treats for this year. But seriously, don’t hold me to that. Sometimes we just bake on a whim so there might be more =o) So guess where I saw this cute idea. Give up? It’s another Family Fun magazine idea. I am totally in love with that […]
My kids and I watch a craft show every Saturday morning called Donna’s Day. Have you heard of it? It’s fantastic. She does crafts and recips and all sorts of great things for you to do with your kids. Some of them are awesome. Some of them are for the more Martha Stewart Mom’s out […]
I love Halloween! Have I mentioned that? Yep, love it! And how could I not when this is what decorates my kitchen? Cool, right?! Dirty Q-Tips! Ha! I saw these over on Pinterest too. Along with the Bloody Band-Aid Cookies that we made. It originally came from Katherine Marie Photography. Super simple but the […]
I have decided that April Fools Day is one of my favorite holidays. Sounds a little strange maybe but fun food and me? Yep, we go together like peanut butter and jelly. And April Fools Day screams fun food. So what do you think about our Deviled Eggs? Who doesn’t love deviled eggs, right? Oh […]
I have a little thing about vampires. I was about to write “I’m embarrassed to say” but I’m not. What the heck. I’m obsessed. I said it. Seriously, I am. It all started with the Twilight books and has gone a little out of control since. =o) If you need to know a good book […]
Did you read the title and think “what the heck?” If you did, you’re not alone. When I first heard of roasting Starburst candies over the campfire I was pretty skeptical. Number one, there’s no chocolate so that usually rules me out. And number two, what the heck? How would that even work??? But when […]
