Food Art Friday - Let's Get Creative!

Let's get artsy. Let's get crazy... Let's get colorful! 

But not until we fill up our bellies!

By "we," I mean my nephews and myself. I absolutely adore babysitting my nephews. They are the sweetest, funniest, and cutest boys in the world! See for yourself....

Okay, so maybe that's not what they really look like, but the point of this blog is to show how much fun we have together. 

Lunchtime is usually the typical hotdog, french fries and apple slices (especially since we have picky eaters on hand). This time I wanted to spice things up for lunch....

This is PERFECT if you're having troubles with a picky eater. If that doesn't convince you, then maybe the fact that it only took me 35 minutes to complete all these meals will... Give creativity a try!

Whip It Up Wednesday!

Do you find it hard to get out of bed? Are you more irritable, short-tempered, or more aggressive than usual? Or maybe you wake up and crawl right back in back so you don't have to face the world...

.... It sounds like you have a bad case of the Monday Blues.

HAVE NO FEAR, COFFEE IS HERE!

"Yeah, but I like Starbucks."

What if I told you that you could have Starbucks EVERY DAY for HALF the price in YOUR kitchen?!

Well hang onto your broomsticks, witches and wizards, because I discovered the GREATEST morning cure that will turn that frown upside ......
