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:

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.
Ice your cupcakes however you prefer and pop them in the freezer. They should be in there long enough for the icing to harden.
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.
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!

Check out how to do it below:

Colored Noodles

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

Boil the water in separate pans
Add about 15-20 drops of each color in its own pan (or until the water completely changes colors)
Boil pasta in colored water
Strain the pasta (make sure to do EACH color in it's own pan)
That's it!
*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.

Yummy! I love making scented play dough because it sure smells a lot better than the normal salty kind. Just be careful because the little ones like to try to eat it (although I did this with the normal kind when I was little). 😉 Below you will find directions to make 2 different scents. Enjoy!

DIY Play Dough

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup Flour
2 tsp Cream of Tartar
1/2 cup Salt
1 cup Water
1 1/2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
Food Coloring (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

In a Medium Sized Pan whisk together your Flour, Salt and Cream of Tartar
Add Water and Oil.
Add Food Coloring if desired.
Wisk until you have a smooth consistency with no lumps.
Place your pan over low heat and stir constantly until your mixture thickens. This will take 3-5 minutes and you will need a strong arm. When you have a big ball/lump, your dough is finished.
Knead your dough for a minute or two.
Store in a Sealed container.

Gingerbread Scented Play Dough

Just add these ingredients into the above dry ingredients
1 1/2 tsp Ginger
2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Cloves
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
Add 1/2 tsp Vanilla and blue, yellow and red food coloring into the wet ingredients until you have a brown color before placing on heat.

Peppermint Scented Play Dough
Just add 1/2 tsp peppermint extract and red food coloring into the above wet ingredients before placing on heat.

Minecraft Party

Be sure to PIN this because these are ideas you’ll more than likely want to come back and use if you get a “Minecraft party request”!

REPIN it here!

Minecraft…it’s the “IN” thing right now and if you have a kiddo then I’m pretty sure you’ve heard of it and if not, you will soon. 😉 This super duper popular game is on the forefront of most kids minds right now and you know what that means…lots of requests for Minecraft Birthday parties! Here’s the catch…it’s actually VERY hard to find Minecraft party supplies for sale so that’s where the creativity comes in! I guess you could ultimately get a bunch of boxes and paint them 😉 but below you will find a ton of cute and creative ideas we did for my son’s 7th Birthday party!

The hardest part was the cake….It turned out pretty amazing and my hubby and I spent a lot of time making it:

Basically it’s 4 boxes of cake mix (you can make it smaller and use just 2 cakes). Cut up your cakes to form a “Creeper” (I suggest using paper and cutting out a template of the size you want before cutting into your actual cakes). We did 2 layers of cake on the legs and head and used frosting (colored green with food coloring of course) to paste them together.

Then we made fondant (marshmallows, powdered sugar and water) – you can “Google” it to get tons of different videos and directions on how to make your own. Color the fondant again with food coloring and place a layer (large piece) over the whole “creeper cake” then shape and cut around edges. You will then make fondant patches for the Creeper body and get them wet with water (just a tiny bit) so it sticks to his body.

It takes some time but it’s totally worth it in my opinion, it sure put a smile on his face…

For the food….(in case you’re not familiar, some of these items are the “supplies” on Minecraft:

I got the spiders from Dollar Tree….yep, just a buck! These Spiders are really in the game too. 😉

Creeper juice (made with green Kool-Aid + sugar and 1 liter sprite) then put in water bottles with creeper juice labels – you can Google these and print them out then use double sided sticky tape.
Coal – Rice krispy treats (made into clumps instead of putting in the standard pan) and add black food dye until they turn black)
Sticks – use stick pretzels
Carrots
Apples
Watermelons (see how to cut Watermelons for little fingers in my post here)
Cookies (yes, these are a supply, I even checked!) Use Chips AHOY! because they resemble them the best!
Lava – use Colby cheese and cut into “lava squares”. We put them on toothpicks and the kiddos loved eating them that way.

*Remember, you can “Google” Minecraft Printable food labels to print out the cute labels for the food.

Minecraft Games and Crafts:

The kiddos made a picture of themselves Minecraft style! I cut up a bunch of construction paper into 1×1 inch squares. Then I cut a piece of poster board from the Dollar Store. The kiddos glued the pieces of paper on to make what they thought resembles themselves. 😉 I used duck tape to tape a popsicle stick to the back as their handle.

For the games (we did “hot apple” instead of hot potato). We also did “Pin the tail on the pig”. I made my own pig with construction paper, SUPER easy and they had a blast.

For the “blindfold” we use a “Steve” head. I just used a box I had laying around and cut pieces of paper then glued them on. Simple as can be!

Decor:

I made this Minecraft spider out of a black balloon for the body and black streamers for the legs. Then just some red construction paper cut in squares of course, for the eyes!

We had green and black balloons and streamers galore! You can tape on cut up construction paper to the balloons you are hanging to make “hanging creeper balloons”.

I used large plates from the party store to make the Creeper face on the wall!

TNT boxes made with licorice and printable boxes you can easily tape together.

And they had a BLAST!

One last thing…Elfy (you know our Elf on the Shelf) he showed up and toilet papered Talan’s room as a Birthday surprise. 😉

I’ve been working on compiling a bunch of healthy smoothie recipe and below you will find my favorites! These taste delicious and are full of nutrients. I like making these for breakfast, a quick snack or meal on the go AND they are perfect for desserts. Before we get into the recipes, check out the health benefits below:

Spinach Benefits:

The best ratio for a a healthy spinach smoothie is 40% spinach or other leafy green (I also suggest kale) to 60% fruit.

Spinach is a super food as it carries health benefits of vitamins A (as beta-carotene), C, K, and folate, calcium, dietary fiber, and iron. Spinach also carries selenium, zinc, phosphorus, potassium, copper, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 and E.

Spinach also can help the following:

-Protect against certain cancers of the stomach, skin, breast, prostate, ovaries and colon.

-Cardiovascular health

-Prevention of heart attacks and stroke

– Spinach can help diseases like asthma and rheumatoid arthritis

Below is a list of 750+ FREE Pumpkin Carving Stencils (Disney, Star Wars, Angry Birds, Celebrities and more!)! We use these every single year and make really fun pumpkins. It’s so much fun to let everyone pick out their favorite and they are actually very easy to do.

We will usually tape the stencil onto the pumpkin and use a pen to trace over the stencil (you will need to press hard as no ink will actually get on the pumpkin but it will create an indent so you can see what you did). Then take the stencil off and outline the indent you created again with the pen, then start carving! Here’s another tip, you can use a sponge and a little water (not too much or the pumpkin will mold) to clean off any pen marks left after carving.

Have fun…

Calling all you fans of peaches and cream! I love peaches and I love cream so this is the perfect dessert recipe. What I really love about this recipe is how easy it is since it uses peach pie filling, cream cheese to make the cream and just a few other ingredients.

This recipe calls major comfort food for me! There is just something special about ice cream and warm apples with cinnamon and sugar. The topping is so important and it’s actually quite was to make. The way you get the crispy top is by using chunks of butter (do not melt it) and “cut” the pieces you are using. Be sure to not mash them up too much because it’s what makes the crumbly top (my favorite part)! Enjoy…

Old Fashioned Apple Crisp

INGREDIENTS:

6 Apples
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
3/4 cup uncooked Old Fashioned Oats
1/2 cup Flour
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 cup Butter, cold

DIRECTIONS:

Peel, core and slice apples.
Preheat oven to 375.
Layer apples into baking dish.
Mix together flour, brown sugar, oats and cinnamon in a bowl.
Add in vanilla and cut in butter with a pastry blender or fork.
Work until mixture forms large crumbs.
Sprinkle over apples.
Bake 30-35 minutes or until topping is browned and apples are soft.

As most of you know, I have a huge fetish for creamy desserts! This recipe uses a box of cake mix which makes it super easy and quick to make. For the cream (my favorite) I use instant vanilla pudding mix. Then, I use the chocolate frosting for the top (so essentially it’s like making a cake with pudding in it)… tastes just like Boston Cream Pie! Enjoy…

I just had the BEST dinner! I am really excited because as most of you know, I am eating healthy right now and this recipe is just that…HEALTHY! I promise you, it doesn’t taste healthy… it tastes like a cheat meal. That means you can get in a healthy, low carb, low fat, low calorie meal and it tastes delicious. As an added bonus, it’s a One Pot Meal! Woohoo for less dishes. 😉

It’s called Shakruka and you’re going to love it. It’s FULL of flavor (which I was surprised about because I am not putting much salt in anything right now) but it is still full of yumminess. You can eat this for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner! It also makes for a perfect brunch dish…I just has mine for dinner and it filled me up. Since I am cutting back on carbs, I chose not to eat bread or toast with it which I thought I’d miss but I didn’t miss it at all. Enjoy!

Shakshuka Egg Dish

Shakshuka Egg

Ingredients:

2-3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 bell pepper, chopped
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
(2) 15 oz cans diced or chunk tomatoes
6 eggs
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
salt and pepper to taste (I used Pink Salt and used only a tiny bit)
Parsley to taste (I just sprinkle it all over and actually use dried parsley but fresh is great too)

Directions:

Pour the olive oil into the bottom of a flat large pan (12 inches is great)
Saute your onions and bell pepper until the turn a little brown but mostly just transparent
Add the Garlic and saute for another minute or two to get the flavors out
Add the seasonings and mix until combined
Add the cans of tomatoes (add the juice and all)
Simmer this mixture for about 10 minutes until it thickens a little
Then, use your spoon to make a little pocket in your sauce for your egg, crack and egg into each pocket (6 total)
Cover and let simmer for another 10 minutes or so but keep an eye an it and turn the heat off once your eggs get close to the consistency you want (they will continue to cook in the sauce when you pull off). I like mine almost cooked but a little runny.
Enjoy!

Alright guys… you know that one and only recipe that is your “go to” recipe… the on that you just can’t ever get sick of, the one that everyone loves, that one you make when you have to “bring a dish”? Well, this is THAT ONE for us! I have made the for family and friends and they are always begging me for the recipe. When I explain what I did (yes, it’s only 6 ingredients and most are canned), they don’t believe me.

I have to admit, the first time I ever tried this, I was hesitant. I thought it was going to be funky and not taste anything like it actually does. I kept seeing people go crazy over it all over the internet (in fact, I have to thank My Litter as that is where I first saw it!). I promise you, this will quickly become your favorite recipe. I am so excited about it because it’s not only DELICIOUS, but it’s super, super easy, quick and inexpensive. I honestly feel like I’ve hit the jack pot with this meal.

If you have picky eaters or don’t like beans (I personally dislike black beans and never order them) then TRY THIS RECIPE and do NOT leave anything out. I eat the black beans and could not imagine it without them!

Okay, have I rambled enough? Can you tell how much I LOVE this recipe? I may even love it more than my famous and oh so popular Enchiladas with White Cream Sauce (Recipe here). Here’s the fiesta chicken recipe:

Fiesta Chicken (in the crock pot)

fiesta chicken

Ingredients:

4 chicken breast (frozen or raw – we use frozen to make it easier and cheaper)
1 packet Fiesta Ranch dip (find this by the salad dressing)
1 can corn not drained (use the liquid and all – it adds to the flavoring)
1 can black beans (I drain mine)
1 can diced tomatoes (if you want it a little spicier, you can use Rotel)
1 block cream cheese

Directions:

Add all ingredients – no need to stir them, just add!
Cook on high in the slow cooker for 4 hours (or you can do low for 6 hours)
Shred chicken with forks and put back in the sauce – stir together (it’s a little soupy but we like it this way if you want it thicker, just leave the lid off for about 20 minutes and it will thicken up).
We eat this with tortillas (I like to cook corn tortillas in oil and make them a little crispy – these are the best!!) or you can serve over rice or with regular tortillas.

Thanks, My Litter
