Eyeballs and Bandaids ? HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Eyeballs and Bandaids – HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

by Pam on October 30, 2013

Yes, you read that right. I surprised my kids yesterday after school with some creepy and gross snacks. They loved the “used” bandaids and bloodshot eyeballs and had fun trying to gross each other out. These little treats couldn’t be easier to make and made my little ones very happy! I love it when something so simple can put HUGE smiles on their faces.

For the Eyeballs:

Flatten the marshmallows with the palm of your hand. Place a chocolate chip upside down into the center of the marshmallow then place squiggles lines around the marshmallow.

For the Bandaids:

Combine a touch of milk with the powdered sugar – not too much because you want the frosting thick. Separate the graham crackers. Spread a bit of frosting down the center of each cracker. Place a smear of red frosting in the center of the white frosting.

Place on a serving tray and serve. Enjoy!

Lemon Blueberry Bars

Lemon Blueberry Bars

by Pam on August 25, 2013

I saw this recipe on Uni-Homaker[1] that is originally from Two Peas & Their Pod[2] that looked amazing. I was making a meal for some friends who are going through a difficult time right now and I wanted to make them something comforting and delicious. I made a Chicken, Mushroom, Broccoli and Rice Casserole[3] for their dinner and I made these delicious bars for their dessert. They turned out beautifully and put a big smile on my friends’ faces.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.

Place the graham crackers into a large ziplock bag and seal. Smash the crackers into fine crumbs using a mallet. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and lemon zest together in a bowl.  Using your fingers, mix until graham cracker crumbs are moist and well combined.  Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and press the mixture firmly into the pan.  Bake the crust for 10 minutes or until set.  Remove from the oven and let it cool.  Do not turn off the oven.

Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks, condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest together in a bowl until well combined and slightly thickened. Gently fold in 1 cup of the blueberries.  Pour the lemon blueberry filling over the crust and spread it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of blueberries over the mixture in the bare spots.

Place the pan into the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until filling is just set.  Cool to room temperature and then place it into the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.  Once chilled, cut into bars and serve. Enjoy!

Side Note: Bars will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

S?mores Cookies

S’mores Cookies

by Pam on October 14, 2012

We were headed out of town for the weekend to camp at the Oregon coast in our motor home with friends.  The weather was going to be rainy and stormy the whole time which meant we wouldn’t be building fires to cook s’mores so I went in search of a good alternative.  I found these s’more cookies on Kevin & Amanda’s[1] site that looked perfect.  I picked up the marshmallow bits at the store and baked these cookies right before we left town.  The dough was very crumbly when I made them and it made me worry that the cookies would be crumbly but they turned out to be thick, hearty, and absolutely delicious cookies.  They were a big hit with all the kids (and adults) all weekend long and nobody was too disappointed that we couldn’t make traditional s’mores over a campfire.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Use a food processor to crush the graham crackers to fine crumbs.  Combine the flour, graham crackers, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl; mix well.

Beat the butter with the sugars until creamy and smooth.  Add the egg and vanilla and beat until well combined.  Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture until just combined.  Add the marshmallow bits and chocolate chips and mix.

Place spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet about 2 inches apart.  Place into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.  Let the cookies cook for a couple of minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.  Enjoy dipped in ice cold milk.
