Appetizer ideas

This weekend I am having a birthday party for my sons and I came up with a few ideas for appetizers. I am very excited to try these! Do you have any good "picky" foods for parties?

Great Idea for your Kindergartener

Here is a GREAT idea for your active kindergartener.
Print out the sight words they are working on at school.


Put the print outs on one side of the room and you and your K sit on the other side.

Tell them the sight word you want to have them get. They run, get the word, bring it back to you and then you give them a treat ( example use a bag of fruit snack and give them one piece each time they get it right. Another idea would be to use seasonal items you can find at the $ section at target..small erasers, pencils, tattoos, candy corn, etc.)


My son would love this game since he has a hard time sitting for a long time and needs to work on his sight words for homework.

Thanks,  1+ 1 + 1 + 1
Every year for Christmas morning I have tried making a monkey bread overnight casserole and it never comes out good. So I am on the hunt for something new for breakfast. I am looking for something that I can make Christmas eve and then just pop it in the oven in the morning. What do you make for Christmas morning? 



Easy Potato and Bacon Breakfast Casserole

recipe from Our Best Bites
Ingredients:
  • 4 c. Southern/country-style hash browns (cubes), completely thawed (if they’re not thawed, they won’t cook correctly)
  • 1 12-oz. package bacon
  • 1 1/2 c. pepper jack cheese
  • 1 1/2 c. cheddar cheese
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 c. milk
  • about 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • about 10 turns freshly ground black pepper
Begin cooking bacon.  While the bacon is cooking, place the potatoes in a 9×13″ baking dish. Mix the cheeses together and sprinkle it over the potatoes. When the bacon is done cooking, drain it on a paper towel and reserve 2 tablespoons of the drippings. Cook the onions in the drippings for 2-3 minutes or until they’re tender and fragrant. Spread the onions over the cheese mixture and then sprinkle everything with the crumbled bacon.  Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper and, whisking constantly, pour the egg mixture evenly over the potato mixture.  Cover and refrigerate overnight or for 7-8 hours. (Picky Apple note: mine went straight from prep to the oven, and it still tasted great!)
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350.  Bake, uncovered, for 40-45 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly but not brown. Allow to stand for 15 minutes before cutting. Serve with fresh fruit.

Burlap Earring Holder


I have a lot of different earrings that I love to wear and rotate each day. The problem is they are usually hidden in my jewelry hanging holder in my closet and I forget about them. I have moved them to my dresser but they are too messy and I usually just throw them in a draw, which I forget about them again.

I am a stay at home mom who LOVES clothes/jewelry/makeup/stuff..lots and lots of stuff. BUT I usually fell silly picking up my older son from school all decked out,  so I stick to changing up my earrings to feel fancy.  I feel dressed up without going all out..lol!!

Ok the point to my story is that I needed a way to store my earrings and be able to see them to.  Finally I found a great idea that is cute AND easy to make. Remember I am just an average mom and need to keep things simple..lol!

Head over to Don't Disturn This Grove  to see how to make this earring holder.

Apple Crisp

Today my oldest son had old tubes removed from his ears and new ones put in. He is an old pro at this since this was his third time. Trying to keep him resting today was like trying to catch lighting in a bottle..almost impossible! He mostly watched movies but he really wanted to make an apple crisp, which you didn't have to twist my arm to do..lol! He was so excited because he was able to cut all the apples and use a "real" knife.

I would have shown you the end result but I am just your average mom and didn't think to take pics at the end! But I will post the recipe from allrecipies.com which is by far the best I have ever made.

Enjoy!!

Ingredients

  • 10 cups all-purpose apples, peeled, cored and sliced
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup water
  •  
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degree C).
  2. Place the sliced apples in a 9x13 inch pan. Mix the white sugar, 1 tablespoon flour and ground cinnamon together, and sprinkle over apples. Pour water evenly over all.
  3. Combine the oats, 1 cup flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and melted butter together. Crumble evenly over the apple mixture.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 45 minutes
