Empty Tomb Rolls

Empty Tomb Rolls...teaching kids the true meaning of Easter

I’m always searching for creative ways to teach my children Bible stories.  My kids learn better with hands-on activities while we are talking and then being able to visualize what we are talking about.  I first heard about Empty Tomb Rolls several years ago and I know they are all over the web now, but I’ve got [...]

1 Minute Dixie Cup Cakes

1 Minute Dixie Cup Cakes

I think I have created a monster!  Making individual serving cakes in a coffee mug with a cake mix in the microwave is nothing new.  However, many of the recipes call for regular cake mix plus the addition of angel food cake mix (for the egg), put it the microwave on 50% power for a [...]

Holiday Rice Krispies Treats

I know what you are thinking!  I do, really I do!  You are thinking that I post way too many Rice Krispies treat recipes.  LOL!  I can’t guarantee this will be my last, but probably my last for awhile.  I still had some ingredients left over from the last challenge that I needed to use [...]

White Chocolate Dipped Pretzels

Are your kids like mine?  My kids will eat anything if it’s dipped in chocolate.  They love pretzels, but they love chocolate even more.  So, when I surprised my daughter with this after school snack she was over the moon. I may have even snapped a picture and sent it to my husband at work.  He asked [...]
