Creative food craft ideas
Here is another easy project to do with the kids and would make great gifts for teachers and neighbors. They could also be used at a hot cocoa bar.
There really isn’t a recipe. All you need is chocolate of your choice. Such as semi-sweet, white or dark and anything that you think would be delicious in hot chocolate. Such … Read More ...
Eggnog!? You either like it or dislike it. I like it and very happy at this time of year, when I see it on the shelves again. I must admit, I have never had the alcohol version and I didn’t care for the chocolate flavored eggnog. Just love the creamy, sweet tasting nutmeg flavor of the original from the shelf! … Read More ...
Sometimes I just don’t feel like eating! A smoothie gives me the fuel I need to help me get to the next meal and prevents me from snacking on all the wrong things. Very easy during the holidays.
Here are some smoothies that use the fall items currently in the stores. I like smoothies sometimes for breakfast, since I’m not … Read More ...
Thanksgiving has a funny way of sneaking up on us, doesn’t it? One minute we’re pretending the pantry is under control, and the next we’re elbow-deep in stuffing, trying to remember which serving platter still has the price sticker on the bottom.
And somewhere between roasting the turkey, finding enough chairs, and politely pretending not to notice who brought store-bought … Read More ...

Yesterday I found a site that teaches you how to make butter and today I searched through my suggestions and found this molding technique for butter. Now the kids can make butter and then mold them into shapes. Glad heavy cream is on sale this time of year. Of course, if you don’t want to make your own butter; you … Read More ...

How do you keep the kids entertained and still allow them to help with the holiday meal or any meal? You have them make butter!
All it takes is some heavy cream, a jar and whole lotta shaking going on. This might be best with more than one child, so they can share the shaking part. The site uses a … Read More ...
I remember the first time I roasted a turkey. I was so worried that I would forget to take the giblets in plastic out of the turkey and that it would be as dry as the turkey from National Lampoon’s Christmas. I was tired before everyone arrived, because I was so stressed. It is a stressful time of year, if … Read More ...

Gobble, Gobble! Cake pops are still the rage and I’m not surprise. Who doesn’t like the idea of cake on a stick? Easy to eat and if you are on a diet, you won’t feel guilty eating one cake pop. Plus, the kids can’t argue that their piece of cake is smaller than the others.

This second drink may become my daughter’s favorite this year! She is a hot chocolate addict and she loves peanut butter. I think I might even add a mini peanut butter cup or chocolate and peanut butter chips with Marshmallows before serving!
The writer replaces the heavy cream and whole milk with skim milk. Like she said a great recovery … Read More ...
I love purple potatoes! I’ve never seen purple sweet potatoes. This side could be a hit or miss, because some people just can’t get past the beautiful color. So if you think your guests will be freaked out, you can still make this recipe with regular sweet potatoes. How beautifully this would pop along side the orange, red and brown … Read More ...

This year we didn’t get to carve our pumpkins or decorate for Halloween.
I still want the seeds before we throw the pumpkins out in the woods near the backyard for the animals to enjoy. We break them up and put bird seed in them for the birds to enjoy before the long cold winter.
I never seem to get … Read More ...
