Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies
There is something about Butterscotch in an Oatmeal Cookie that is just delicious! The other night we needed to make a quick treat to take over to a neighbor’s home. The Little Chefs were looking through all our recipes to try to find something new or something they had not made for a while. They came across this Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies recipe, and they all insisted that just had to make this recipe, even though we had just made a {Read More}
Car Travel Games
I love to keep things organized and contained in the car well…to start out with at least. It seems like a few hours in and I’m telling them to clean up just like at home. We have gotten in the habit of pulling out all the garbage and putting things away at each gas station or stop we make. That seems to really help a lot! I had to search for a while, because all boxes are different sizes and {Read More}
Triple Travel Snack Bag
Do you have Little Chefs like me who love a variety of snacks, but who do not like them to mix? My Little Chefs have a hard time choosing just one snack. When we are traveling my goal is to keep them happy. Whatever it takes seems to be our motto on a long road trip. Today we are sharing our Triple Travel Snack Bag that Little Chef H could not put down. This is very simple to construct yet {Read More}
Smoked Gouda Sliders
Memorial Day is all about grilling! To our family usually it is the beginning of a warm summer and school coming to an end. This year it still means the beginning of summer and grilling season, school however is another matter. This is a great hands on recipe for Little Chefs. Little Chef A was able to prepare the patties ALL by herself! Combine all the ingredients; ground chuck, kosher salt, pepper, onion powder, grated smoked gouda and worchestershire sauce. {Read More}

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Milkshake
Happy National Chocolate Chip Day!! To celebrate the awesomeness of the Chocolate Chip……we of course wanted to make some Chocolate Chip cookies. But, instead of actually cooking them, we wanted to try something even better!!! Are you like us and eat and eat most of the Cookie Dough batter before the cookies hit the oven? If so, then you gotta try this Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Milkshake!! What a better combo – our favorite chocolate chip cookie dough & our {Read More}
Embellished Cuff
Do you have a leather or pleather coat or purse that you do not want anymore? If the answer is yes then you have the main material for our Embellished Cuff. This is the perfect idea for my Little Chefs because they absolutely LOVE reusing items instead of throwing them away. They are constantly trying to come up with something they can make with items that are not being used anymore. The Embellished Cuff is so fun to make because {Read More}
Grandma’s Potato Salad
Summer picnic season is just around the corner. Outdoor BBQ’s, hamburgers and hot dogs, kids playing in the sprinklers, and plenty of Potato Salad. We made this Potato Salad from our Grandma’s recipe. She pretty much makes the perfect Potato Salad (Wow, that was a lot of “P” words!). Grandma uses good old russet potatoes in her Potato Salad. We however, had red potatoes on hand, so that is what we used in our recipe this time – and we {Read More}
Bird Feeder
Spring is here! The trees and flowers are in bloom. And we are starting to see and hear more & more birds! The Little Chefs have been worried that the birds are “starving” because we have no food for them in our backyard. Their grandparents have a big bird feeder in their backyard – and the Little Chefs love to watch and learn about the local birds. And also like to know that they are getting enough to eat, especially {Read More}
Fantastic Thursday #44
Welcome to FantasticThursday! I have a confession – I am addicted to chocolate covered gummy bears!! Those darn things – I can not leave them alone. Chef Dad has been out-of-town, and it is my weakness to buy a rather large bag of them and treat myself to not just one, or even a few – but pretty much to the entire bag!! Maybe I should have shared with my Little Chefs!! I know you have all been waiting to {Read More}
