Tonight for dinner I made some yummy turkey meatloaf loaded with zucchini and carrots with sweet potato fries and a salad with colorful tomatoes. The meatloaf was super tasty and better than the taste was the fact that it was loaded with veggies. To make the meatloaf I used about a pound of ground 93/7 turkey […]

Today my nephew came over for a play date, and while Madeline loves having him over and never wants him to leave, she also hasn’t quite mastered the art of playing WITH others. She is not quite two and I think she still shadow plays, while Kingston loves to play with her and she just […]

My kids love to participate in every holiday by making crafts just like me, so this year I came up with a few easy crafts that the kids and their friends at out Easter play date do. First up is a simple “bunny” mask for the kids to make and play with. For this craft […]

Yesterday I promised some fun Easter desserts from my mom group meet up, so I am here to deliver the goods. While I did make a few little items, none of them were heavily dessertish, this was a toddler get together after all. The first thing I made was some of my meal in a […]

To continue in the last few days of Easter and Spring related foods, today I have some fun ways to serve fruits and veggies. First off is a fun planter filled with hummus and various veggies and pretzels for dipping. How cute would this be as your table centerpiece? To pull this off, I used one […]

As I told you yesterday, I had some fellow mommas over to my house, and of course I had to make some fun Easter and Spring inspired snacks. Today I will share with you the cheesy snacks I provided, and in the next few days I will be sharing some of the other foods we […]

  Today I had my little group meet up with some fellow mommies. We had some snacks, played outside (it was quite hot at 83°), hunted for Easter eggs, and played in the sand box. But, I think the most successful part was the frozen DIY Easter egg popsicles I made for the kids. I only […]

I am always on the lookout for new ways to use things I have laying around the house. Those little plastic Easter eggs are no exception. They have had many uses for me besides just a place to store candy. I have used them as molds for my fruity pebble pops, as bath toys, as […]

Today I was able to find a little time to go to the garden center once again. That place is soooo addicting. Seriously, I can’t seem to stay away. It also doesn’t hurt that I still have a few items on my must plant list. And today I was lucky enough to find some of […]

The weather today was perfect and I decided to capitalize on the wonderful weather by having dinner outside in the garden. Hopefully tonight was just a glimpse of the meals we will get to eat out in our new backyard. For dinner I made tequila lime marinated flank steak that I then grilled along with […]

I finally got around to making up my idea for some Easter themed Fruity Pebble pops. To make these, make a batch of Rice Krispy treats according to your marshmallow package directions, but sub in fruity pebbles for the rice krispies. While the mixture is still warm, spoon it into greased ( I used Pam […]

So, I happened to have a few leftover donuts that I didn’t cover with all the yummy peach goodness yesterday, so this morning I used some of the leftover icing (melted it down and dipped the donuts in the melted icing) and sprinkled some fruity pebbles on top. Yummy use of breakfast cereal if you […]
