I’ve been wanting to make these with the kiddos for awhile and finally got them up! These Reindeer Root Beer gifts are super, super cute and easy to make! These are perfect for gifts as well as fun snacks for the kiddos. You can use root beer for a kid-friendly version or try out some beer (they make the funnest packages that make these even cuter) to take to a Christmas or Holiday party. 😉

Root Beer Reindeer

INGREDIENTS:

  • 6 Pack Bottled Root Beer
  • 12 Wiggly Eyes
  • 6 Red Pom Poms (1/4″)
  • 9 Brown Pipe Cleaners
  • Ribbon for Scarves (optional)
  • Glue (either E6000 or Hot Glue)

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Glue eyes on bottle neck.
  2. Glue red pom pom nose just below eyes.
  3. Take 3 pipe cleaners and cut them in half, then cut each of these halves in half.
  4. Wrap a pipe cleaner just below the bottle cap and twist in the back and bring ends up to make main antlers.
  5. Take one of the quarter pipe cleaners and twist it about 1 1/4″ from end each main antler.
  6. Repeat this process for each bottle.
  7. If you would like, cut a piece of ribbon and wrap like a scarf around the bottle. Use a dab of glue to hold together.
  8. NOTE: If you use the E6000, it needs to set for awhile before it will be tacky enough to stick to bottle.

How To Make Glow In The Dark Icing

As Halloween sneaks up around the corner, the pumpkins, decorations and haunted houses start popping up everywhere! So to get in the spirit, why not add some Halloween fun into your baking. With a few simple kitchen cupboard ingredients, you can create your very own glow in the dark cupcake icing. Not only will it add a special twist to your Halloween dessert, the glow off the frosting will surprise guests of all ages! Check out the instructions below to create your very own glow in the dark icing:

Ingredients Needed:

  • 1 Cup Of Butter
  • 4-5 Cups Of Icing Sugar
  • 1 Cup And 4-5 Tablespoons Of Tonic Water
  • 1.5 Tablespoon Of Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Box Of Coloured Jello
  • 1 Cup Of Boiling Water

Instructions:

  1. Start by creating your basic frosting. Beat the butter until smooth, add powdered sugar and tonic water alternating as you add it. Add vanilla and beat till smooth.
  2. Ice your cupcakes however you prefer and pop them in the freezer. They should be in there long enough for the icing to harden.
  3. Next, boil 1 cup of water and add Jello. Stir until combined, about 2-3 minutes. Add 1 cup of tonic water, mix and remove from heat. Place the mixture into a second bowl and keep that bowl on ice to make the Jello as cool as possible. Once the Jello is cool to the touch but not firm, give it a quick stir and remove it from the ice.
  4. Once removed, it’s time to dip the cupcakes. Remove them from the freezer, dip one at a time and replace them back in the freezer once they have been dipped. The more you repeat this process, the more they will glow! Serve once the glow has dried and display them under a black light for an even better glow!

Adult Drink Recipes are perfect for Summer!

BBQ’s, sunshine, family and a refreshing drink is what summer means to me. I love to entertain during the summer months but finding the right drink isn’t always easy. It seems like it is easier to get creative with food. I’ve rounded up what I think are going to some amazing drinks to serve this summer.

10 Summer Time Drinks

1. Peppermint Vojito  – This recipe is originally dubbed as a St. Patrick’s Day recipe but I think it would be perfect for the summer months as well.

2. Raspberry Ice Tea Martini – I love ice tea and raspberries, so putting them together to make a martin sounds genius! I’m really looking forward to serving this one up this summer.

3. Blue Ocean Cocktail – This drink looks beautiful. I’m very hopeful that it taste as good as it looks. I think it will be a hit with my friends and family.

4. Cajun Margarita – I have tried several different margarita flavors but Cajun I have never tried. This recipe really sparked my interest, I’m thinking it will be a sweet and spice mixed together. Either way it sounds delicious.

5. Cake Batter Martini – Cake batter martini just sounds flat-out amazing! Not only does it sound amazing but it looks amazing. You could really impress your guests with this drink.

6. OWG Margarita – OWG is a brand that helps make your margarita a great one. This post shows how to make a margarita using the OWG brand. This looks like a quick and easy way to make a good drink.

7. Love Potion 9 – Once again the visuals of this drink caught my attention. I’m sure it taste great but I just can’t stop looking at it.

8. Raspberry Beer Cocktail – This cocktail looks like the perfect summer time BBQ cocktail. Beer with raspberry and a few other ingredients. I think even the men might like this one.

9.Kiwi-Strawberry Bellini – Just look at the picture of this drink and you will be impressed. It looks like something you would find in a five-star restaurant, yet so easy to make!

10. Peach Berries Sangria – Lately I have been seeing more and more Sangria recipes. This one is made with peaches and berries and looks so refreshing.

What summer time drinks do you serve up for your guests?

Colored Noodles

Colored Noodles

Ingredients

  • 2-3 food coloring colors (Blue and Pink or purple work best....Green kind of turns yellow)
  • 1 package of White pasta (you can use wheat but the color doesn't turn out as bright)

Instructions

  1. Boil the water in separate pans
  2. Add about 15-20 drops of each color in its own pan (or until the water completely changes colors)
  3. Boil pasta in colored water
  4. Strain the pasta (make sure to do EACH color in it's own pan)
  5. That's it!
  6. *You can also do this same recipe a little different....just boil your pasta and strain then add a little bit of pasta to a few different baggies and add 15-20 drops of food coloring in each bag and a little water. Then let sit until pasta has absorbs the color.

 Watermelon is a perfect Summer snack and what I love about it is how inexpensive it is! There are many things you can make with it (check out my Watermelon Smoothie Recipe here) but it’s fun to just eat and almost every kid out there loves it.

This is my favorite way to cut up a watermelon and guess what..it’s perfect for kiddos little fingers! They can easily pull out a piece and still get a good amount of fruit with a little part to hold onto!

See my pics below to see how to cut it:

1

First cut the watermelon in half.

2

Then flip it on its side and cut slices into it.

Turn it the other way and cut more slices the opposite direction. You will then be able to pull out pieces to eat and enjoy!
