Fun Food

Thank you, Pinterest.  I always find fun stuff to make on there, like these fabulous cookies.  However, I should really say " Thank you, Smells Like Home " for giving me a how-to.   The BF was in town and thought these cookies sounded amazing.   While I am normally anti-anything-pre-made, I really wasn't feeling baking.   So, as a compromise (I can totally be flexible... when I want to be) we used a tube of Nestle chocolate chip cookie dough, the big size.   So delicious! These cookies are awesome, HUGE and super delicious!  If you need something quick and tasty, these are perfect.

So, I know this blog is about food but I'm pretty excited about this wreath that I just finished.  It's my 1st wreath ever!  I saw a great autumn wreath on Pinterest by Jones Design Company  (LOVE the tutorials) and set out to make a similar one.  Well, my wreath is definitely more spring time than autumn but I'll take it!   My original plan included adding in some berries and leaves like the JDC one that I originally fell in love with, but once I started putting it together, I decided to make it all flowers instead.   I set out with a pack of coffee filters from Dollar Tree, acrylic paints, scotch tape, a grapevine wreath and glue gun.   To dye the filters, I filled a cup with water and added paint.  With every color, I added some brown paint to give them a little deeper, fall color (well that was the intention, probably should have added a little more brown).  Then, I took a stack of filters, and carefully sunk them into the paint-water.  After letti

Who doesn't love a parliament of chocolate owls? So, after seeing these adorable owl cupcakes that my BF's Mom and Sister made, I've been patiently waiting for an excuse to make them too.  Halloween seemed like the best excuse ever!  Every Halloween, people in my office bring their kids to trick-or-treat and show off how cute their offspring are.  So I figured, what little kid (or parent) doesn't want a tasty homemade treat? I didn't have time to make the cupcakes from scratch (and lets be honest, I really was more excited to decorate these than to bake them) so, I cheated and used a box mix and pre-made frosting.  To me, the thought of box mix and a can of frosting generally makes me cringe but this might have changed my mind given how much time I saved!  Seriously, all of less than 10min to make!  And lets be real, kids don't care.  Add caption What you'll need Cupcakes (homemade, box-mix, doesn't matter) Chocolate frosting (homema
