I wanted to serve something that was a sweet snack mix for my daughters Unicorn Party! I knew I needed to use a few things like Bugles for the unicorn horns. And the other thing that I wanted to do was make sure that it was peanut free. There was one boy who has a peanut allergy and I didn’t want his mom to have to worry about what he was eating!

Milk and Cookie Shots

When I think about New Years Eve recipes I wish it was some glamorous thing! But as a mom of 4 young kids New Years Eve is more about banging pots and pans, blow horns, family friendly food, and trying to make it until the ball drops! So when asked to create a New Years Eve recipe these cookie and milk shot glasses came in mind! These can be filled with all kinds of stuff and are fun for the entire family! My kids (and a few neighbor kids) went crazy over these! Milk and Cookie Shots 1 box Krusteaz …

Easter Bunny Sugar Cookies

by madeitateitlovediton March 25, 2016March 25, 2016Leave a Comment

Last year I went to a fun cookie decorating class at Petite Party Studio and learned a few tricks with making sugar cookies and decorating them. Ever since then I have been hooked on decorating cookies. Unfortunately it is one of those things that I like to do when my kids aren’t around. Most of my cooking I do with music going and my kids running wild around me. Decorating sugar cookies I like to do in the quiet with no kids running wild around me. Maybe its a little therapeutic for me. Either way I love it! These bunny …
