(I type that thinking of my daughter’s most recent Cherry Sno-Cone on the boardwalk with the puddles and puddles of syrup poured on by the well-meaning teenager.) These puddle-less homemade Sno-Cones are gorgeous, I think. Find the recipe HERE at Dine and Dish… Read More ...

“Bacteria” Treats
While I’ve never tried, I can say with almost near certainty it’s very difficult to make bacteria cute. But dang it if these aren’t adorable.

JellO Pool and Broccoli Swamp
Hmmm, strange bedfellows, I suppose. Make this fun, kid-friendly, pool party JellO HERE at Kitchen Fun with My 3 Sons. The cookie kid even has swimmies on!
