FLORAL COLLAGES

What a great idea this is...

you print the picture outlines and then you dress them

up by filling in areas with beautiful flower petals and leaves...

how fun it would be for a school or Sunday school

project...or daycare or just parents enjoying time with

the kids...I can't think of anyone who wouldn't love

doing a project like this one...

...again...I can't say enough about this website...

it's a wonderland for kids and adults who like to create things...

...you can find the printables for this project

and hundreds more here...

JOLEAN'S CHEESE POTATO & SMOKED SAUSAGE CASSEROLE

Oh boy does this look good...

I know my husband would absolutely love it...

there's something about the combination of sausage or ring bologna

with potatoes that is just so good...

I am sure any type of sausage would work just fine if you

are on a special type of diet....

SAVORY PEPPER JACK COOKIES

Now this is really a unique idea...

as she says these are a mix between a cookie, a cracker and a biscuit..

I really like her suggestion of serving them with a bowl of soup...

I'm thinking they would also be great with something like

a nice comforting casserole....

or how about just with a healthy salad....

they look great and I can't wait to try them!

I know my sister loves pepper jack cheese so she would love these for sure!

Haley has wonderful recipes on her blog that are easy and

inexpensive to make...be sure to look around while you are there....

TWO-INGREDIENT BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM BITES

I had to add this one more for today...

I want to get this one on my blog while it's still hot summer

because it makes such a tasty and cute little bite of cold when

you are feeling miserably hot...

but....these are great any other time too even in the winter...

...they are just 2 ingredients and so quick and easy to make...

look how pretty they are!

RUFFLES MARSHMALLOW KRISPIE TREATS

I thought this was an interesting idea for krispie bars...

instead of using the cereal she makes them with crushed

Ruffles potato chips...giving you that sweet and salty combination...

sounds so good!

but....just a reminder to those of you that have to watch your

sodium intake, I would suggest using the low-sodium Ruffles...

they have less per serving and they still have a touch

of salty taste...I bet they would work fine in this recipe too...

CINNAMON SUGAR BISCUITS

How great are quick and easy recipes....I love this kind...

all you have to do is keep refrigerator biscuits on hand and you can

make these in a hurry anytime you need them...

they bring back memories of the sugar and cinnamon toast

we had so much while growing up...

Yum!
