Easter Eggs
Submitted by melisa on Mon, 04/01/2013 - 02:38
Something we do around Easter is color eggs. Even though Caleb is a pre-teen, we still enjoy doing this together. It’s a fun tradition, it’s easy and I usually end up eating boiled eggs for a week--so it’s a win all around.
When we do this we buy one of the packets of egg coloring that shows up around this time of year and follow the instructions for the coloring--it’s all really simple. We notch up the creativity by creating layers of color in various ways. We’ve drawn on the eggs with the clear crayon that these kits come with. We’ve dipped the eggs with a rubber band around them leaving a series of stripes and we’ve dipped in layers by adding one of these strategies after we’ve dipped once creating pictures in different colors. It’s one of the fun, inexpensive, creative things we enjoy doing with food.
Do you do anything creative with food in the Spring?

Pizza Using Boboli Crust
Submitted by admin on Sun, 02/24/2013 - 23:58
We decided to make personal pizzas using a pre-made Boboli crust, canned pizza sauce and packaged toppings. The nice thing about this recipe is that if you know how to make your own crust or your own sauce you can include those things and it only makes the recipe better. We decided to make it simple to show how you can do this even if you don't have those pizza making skillz. :) We went with the small crusts so that we could each personalize our pizza. After cooking we cut the pizzas into quarters and mixed and matched.

Ingredients 1 Boboli crust 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese 1/2 cup pizza sauce 5 slices pepperoni or salami |

Ice Cream Sandwich

Making your own ice cream sandwich gives you more options for customizing your dessert. Choose your own cookies and ice cream flavor combination. One thing we found was that it worked better when the ice cream was very frozen. As the ice cream got soft it squished out of the cookies easier. In this short clip, Caleb shows us how he makes them.
