Food, Crafts and Fun
For week 3 of the Twelve Weeks of Christmas Cookies I decided to make these bad boys. I saw them over at Sinful Southern Sweets where she called them Bad Day Brownies. I would call them Bars of Pure Awesomeness! They are quite tasty and how could they not be. They are filled with these […]

My kids and I are having so much fun decorating for Halloween. We’re crafting and baking like crazy and I am amazed how many free crafts I can find out there to make. This one was the best because it was totally free. Yep, free! We go through a ton of milk jugs but I […]

My neighborhood has never done the Boo-ing thing so I thought I’d get it started this year. (At least I don’t think we have. Know one has ever booed me so they better not be doing it without me.) Because, have I mentioned that I love Halloween??? I’m not sure if I have mentioned that […]

If you haven’t guessed by now, I love brownies. Well, maybe everything chocolate. But brownies are right up there with donuts. (Oh man, don’t get me started on my love for donuts.) So when I saw this recipe over on Tiffanee’s blog One Crazy Cookie I about flipped. The pictures looked so darn good. I […]

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 […]

When we were driving home from school this week we noticed some of the neighbors had put up their Halloween decorations. Yeah! That gives us the green light to get to the decorating! (I hate to be the first person in the neighborhood with holiday decorations up.) Is that weird? We don’t do a ton […]

Ha, ha. Get it? I crack myself up sometimes. But maybe that’s not a good thing because it usually means I’m tired and have had a hard day. I think it’s both today. Anyways… enough about that. Are these cute or what?! I first saw these last year when I was visiting my favorite store, […]

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 […]

What? Booger? Yep, you read that right. Booger. This is Booger Pie. Seriously! I didn’t make it up. (I know my co-workers are all thinking I made this name up but I didn’t. Really!) I saw this great post over at The Speckled Dog and had to make it. I mean really. How could I […]

I don’t know about you but I love the taste of white chocolate and raspberries together. It’s heaven in my mouth. Except for one small problem. I don’t like raspberries. The seeds get stuck in my teeth and then I have to pick them out and I feel like Gramma from The Beverly Hillbillies. It’s […]

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, […]
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 […]
The other day my son said to me “Mom, we should have every Saturday dinner a fun dinner. You know, like the Aliens and race cars that we had.” Bless him. I love that they want to help me in the kitchen and eat fun things. So we decided to make something similar to our […]
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 […]
I’m beginning to get a little tired of the rain around here. It’s May for heaven’s sake and it’s pouring outside. I want summer! I want to be able to open up my windows and smell the fresh air. I want to wear sandals and capris and not feel like I’m frozen. I want to […]
I’m always on the search for fun foods to make for me… I mean my kids. Ah heck, who am I foolin’. I’d make these adorable scooter snacks even if I didn’t have kids. They are so cute. And all the ingredients that I love! Adorable, right? I found this in the August 2010 edition […]
I saw this “recipe” in the Family Fun magazine while at the Doctor’s office and thought I’d give it a try. Anything to make dinner time fun, right? My kids LOVED it! And it was easy to make. I took hot dogs and cut them into 4 pieces. Then I took raw spaghetti noodles 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 […]
