Making Memories With Your Kids

White Chocolate Dipped Gingerdoodles

November 30, 2018 by Erin 1 Comment

These just might be my new favorite cookies! My friend said "these are the best cookies I've had in my entire life!" Seriously! She said that. They have a slight crisp around the edges and are super soft in the middle. Just they way I like my cookies. The white chocolate also adds the perfect touch. We also made these for Valentine's Day last year. (And every other holiday!) Ginger cookies seem like the perfect Holiday cookie. They spices scream Christmas! These cookies have all … [Continue reading...]

Special K Bars

November 15, 2018 by Erin

Show of hands... who's ready for Christmas? I don't mean ready, ready. I mean ready for the fun to begin? I am! I love, love, love Christmas time. But before we get to Christmas we have to have Thanksgiving. I don't really love this holiday. I love the time. My kids and I go to the beach with my dad and step-mom and have an absolute blast! But the holiday? Nope. Give me a delicious French Dip Sandwich and I'm good. I bring treats to the beach. Surprised? You shouldn't be. I … [Continue reading...]

Last year both of my kids were in middle school. Between the two of them, they had 12 teachers. Twelve! Needless to say, Teacher Appreciation Week was a tad stressful for us, trying to come up with ideas that were cute but didn’t break the bank. I thought this idea was perfect! You could make […]

Lucky Charmers

March 14, 2018 by Erin

I’m kind of in love with the magazine Family Fun. For years it’s been delivered to my door and I love looking through all the crafts and recipes. As my kids get older I’m finding most of the crafts are for younger kids, but the recipes? I don’t care how old my kids are. Fun […]

Chocolate Dipped Seafoam Candy

March 1, 2018 by Erin

Have you ever heard of Seafoam Candy? It seems like a beach thing here in Oregon. Everytime we go to the beach and to the candy store, we buy Seafoam. It’s delicious and crunchy and, if made right, melts in your mouth. We decided we wanted to give it a try and I’m super glad […]

Scotcheroos Millionaire Nuggets

February 20, 2018 by Erin

Chocolate, peanut butter and butterscotch makes this dessert one of our favorites! This recipe is similar to the Chex Scotcharoos we made a while back. We decided to use crispy cereal rather than Chex cereal and we dipped them in the chocolate mixture. (You can never have too much chocolate. Am I right?!) We found […]

Outrageous Chicken Nacho Cheese Dip

February 10, 2018 by Erin

Chips and Dips are one of my weaknesses. They are comfort food to me and if I let myself, I could eat them everyday for lunch or dinner. I don’t, of course. That would be crazy. But sometimes I wish I could. A co-worker brought this delicious dip to one of our potlucks and I […]

Chocolate Covered Snowball Cookies

December 30, 2017 by Erin

Like I wrote in our Pumpkin Spice Snowball Cookies post, these delicious cookies are called different names: Mexican Wedding Cookies, Russian Tea Cakes or Snowball Cookies. Regardless of what you call them, they are delicious and a family favorite of ours. When I saw Dorothy’s post over on Crazy for Crust I about fell over. […]
