Well at least I made a treat!

So I had big plans to make a great meal last night, but chicken with corn just isn’t fancy and nothing worth blogging about … hehe!  BUT I did make a fun treat for the neighborhood kids.  These were real simple to make a little time and patience between each step.  I think they turned out so cute.  Adults and kids will love this fancy looking dessert of a classic!

Well I hope to get back to normal but sadly it just isn’t happening.  This week was suppose to be great for me to get back on track but instead I have Cole having a melt down at summer camp and Rick in a funk also!  Wish me luck and a few prays this week !

It’s a Watermelon Thang …. (Yup I said Thang!)

The PNW has finally gotten a heat wave … I know I was unhappy with the rain and the kids being inside driving me nuts.  But can we have gradual heat … lol.  I know I’m picky!  Heat means no time to sit down and write a review of the books and movies I normally would do.  So I thought why not another recipe … hehe Are you sick of recipes yet?  I have them coming out my ears so I must share, You love me and my recipes right? hehe …. Sorry was having an off day Wednesday (I know your reading this Thursday but I write them the night before).

With out further ado some yummy recipes I tried this weekend

First we start out with breakfast, I just had to do these super cute Watermelon Waffles by Random Thoughts of a Supermom.

And then on my mission to make a new popsicle every week this summer I found a recipe that I tweaked and made my own.  The original recipe Strawberry and Watermelon Popsicle I turned into blueberry and watermelon, YUMMY .

Happy Thursday!

Treats for others

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July.  It was a bummer it was on a Monday which means yes you get Monday off but have to work Tuesday.  Let’s just say not a lot of sleep when your neighbors are trying to blow up the town.  Very little sleep for this mama so a quick post of yummies .

My amazing friend Nichol posted a link with the top 10 popsicles (click her name to go to the post).  These Rainbow Pudding Pops were so easy to do and very cool for the kids!  I did it the easy way and instead of separating into different bowls I just did 6 puddings and did one color per bowl then poured cleaned the bowl and made the next color.  I’m all about making it easy .  NOW next year I think I’ll do red, white and blue for the 4th of July.  I know isn’t that a cool idea.  Yup those ideas always come to me too late … lol.  Now let’s hope I remember next year!

For the different holidays I like to make a special treat for my boss and my secret sister at church.  I made this Marshmallow Muffin Mix in a Jar for both of them.  I found these marshmallows colored for the 4th and just had to find a recipe to make .

And I made a 2nd jar to send off to my boss.  These Cowboy Cookie Mix in a jar I think was a classic yummy cookie!  I made the label with a stack of oatmeal cookies translucent behind the recipe.

Happy Tuesday everyone, I hope your day goes well.  All I know is I’m going to be drinking a lot of coffee!  BAD day to be out of K-cups for my coffee maker!  Guess I’ll be using the French press today!

Tuesday Dinner (Saucy-Q Chicken Soft Tacos & Frozen Fruit Pops)

As many of you know Tuesday nights is dinner with my a friend from high school.  It’s great having friends over so I can test out new recipes … .  Rick loves chicken and Taco’s so this Saucy-Q Chicken Soft Tacos from Hungry Girl who is now one of my favorite low fat sites to check out.  She also includes the WW points for you who follow that program.  I really enjoyed these!  I ran out of chicken and had a ton of the salsa left over.  Next time I’ll do a 4th breast since Rick said he would have ate more if there was more chicken!

And for dessert I had to make Frozen Fruit Pops since we finally had a HOT day here in the PNW.  I made a ton so the neighborhood kids had a few too, let’s just say my house is very popular now with hands out for these .  Thanks “Cole’s Mom” these are really good is what I was told.

Happy Tuesday everyone
