Leprechaun Eats

This looks so yummy and how fun for St. Patrick's day...or anytime really. :)


This punch looks good and festive for St. Patrick's day! I might try it without the seltzer water though...since I'm not a huge fan of carbonation!

Rainbows and Shamrocks

What a fun idea for kids to do for St. Patrick's Day!

I have longed to take a floral design class for many years now...but now I live in a place where things like that are just simply not offered. But I love this tutorial, how easy to make your house beautiful!




Recently I have been wanting to try Boston Cream Pie...I've really never had it! Here is a "lighter" or healthier version...I think it looks great!





I would love to make some of these for our upcoming arrival!

Rice Drawing

In an attempt to teach letters and numbers, we were tracing them in the rice with his finger. I was surprised how much fun he had! But once I stopped helping him trace, all he wanted to do was pick up the rice and drop it. Ha!

Yummy Finds

I love making things I might buy at a restaurant at home for so much cheaper! Tuscan Garlic Chicken. It looks delicious!

I am planning on making these soon! I've been wanting to try homemade oreos for a long time!

I can't wait to make one of these for my little superman! He loves to fly around and be superman, how much more fun would it be with a cool cape?

All about St. Patrick's Day

I'm excited...can you tell?

I want to make one of these cute shirts in green of course! for my little leprechaun. :)

I made these last year but was lacking a shamrock cookie cutter...I'm excited to make them again!

I love ice cream sandwiches! How fun that you can make these for yourself, and make them for any holiday!

I think it would be fun to make Lime tarts for St. Patrick's day too...or maybe key lime pie?

Light Inspiration

I am in love with this idea from Simply Modern Mom. This would be perfect for out house!

Dr. Seuss

Today is Dr. Seuss' birthday! We are going to have a Dr. Seuss night this weekend! Here are some of the fun ideas I've found.

I've seen a couple variations of these cupcakes, this one is my favorite! Here is another idea though.

Make Oobleck! One of my favorite Dr. Seuss books growing up was Bartholomew and the Oobleck! I love this idea!


Make a Cat in the Hat hat!! I'm excited about this one, since my little guy has loved Cat in the Hat for at least a year now. :)

Substitutions

I just found this awesome list of ingredient substitutions. I was looking for a substitute for sherry...and found this great resource! If you're missing an ingredient...check this out! It might help!

amaretto: use ½ tsp almond extract in water for every ¼ cup called for
brandy: use in fruit juice in equal amounts called for;
cognac: peach, pear, or apricot juice in equal amounts called for;
red wine: cranberry juice, grape juice, tomato juice, even beef or vegetable broth can be used; sherry: apple, pineapple, and orange juices all make good sherry substitutions.

Special Sauce

I've been really wanting to eat a JDawg lately, but since Provo is four hours away and I don't think I'll be there anytime soon...I found this copycat recipe that I'm so excited to try! I hope it's close to the real thing!

Copycat JDawg Sauce

3/4 C ketchup

3/4 C barbeque sauce

1/4 C honey

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp soy sauce

1/2 tsp onion powder
