PULL APART PIZZA STICKS

Does anyone remember a few years ago when Pizza Hut

had their Pepperoni  Bread Sticks ?

Boy do I miss those...when I found out they had them

we ordered them once and then they said they were going

to discontinue them...I was so disappointed...

I could have eaten them every night, they were so good...

...this recipe reminds me of those Pepperoni Bread Sticks...

except they didn't have the bread stick layer on top...

but just look how delicious these look...

and again another quick recipe to put together

and bake on a busy night...

...this would be one of those 'eat in moderation' foods

for diabetics and people with other health problems

because of the carbs and salt in them...but I hope you

enjoy the 'moderation' of them that you CAN eat...just

be careful please...

EXERCISE EGGS

This would be so fun in a classroom or daycare...

you just use little pieces of paper and write down

things that will get kids moving and exercising...

such as 'do jumping jacks' or 'touch your toes'...

then fold them up and put them in a plastic egg..

and they have to find the eggs to see what it tells them to do!

...this is a great idea for a healthy kind of Easter egg hunt...

GRAPE POPPERS

These are so pretty...

they would be perfect for any dinner or party...

and so elegant for something like a wedding or

showers....

....holiday picnics etc.....

wouldn't they be cute with a flag on the end

of the sticks for a 4th of July gathering....

...you can buy the Candiquik coating at most 

Walmart stores and I have heard Target has it too...

FLOWER EASTER CUPS

Well...surprise!  Here's me adding more

Easter posts...I knew I would run into more that

I couldn't hold back until next Easter...so...

enjoy!

How pretty are these!

...they would be beautiful on an Easter dinner table

wouldn't they....

I don't have even one egg cup like these in my house

but I bet they would work fine in any kind of cup...

...they are made with 2 sizes of cupcake wrappers...

so 'pretty' is as easy as that!

...you could use any design with pastel

colors in it for these....

EASTER EGG NECKLACE

Here is another favorite of mine...

I often wondered what those little holes in a plastic Easter egg

were for...and I'm still not sure...but I see they can be very useful

for making something like this cute necklace...

I know a lot of kids who would love this...

especially when it comes with a little toy or treat inside

the egg....

...it would be so fun to hand out to classmates at Easter time...

or even to put in your child's basket....

...of course I would be uncomfortable if I didn't remind everyone

that something like this is not safe to give to a very young child...

please be sure to keep it out of their reach....

PAPER EASTER LILY

Well, I am down to just a couple more Easter items to share for

this year...unless of course...I happen upon something that I just can't

resist posting now...which happens to me a lot...

but after Easter goes by I have lots of other great posts coming up...

I have saved this one since I came across it about six months ago and

it is one of my favorite...

I think it's probably about the prettiest paper flower I have seen...

and it doesn't look hard to make at all...

So...enjoy and if you make these flowers have lots of fun with them...!

RAVIOLI BAKE

So I was sitting here thinking...

'I wonder why recipes got so much easier to make

with the arrival of the internet...'

of course...it only took me a minute to also think

that it's not really the internet...it's more because of the advancing

of food products...

...when I think of how long it would have taken my mom to

make something like this for supper it almost makes me

feel guilty that I have things so easy now compared to what she

did...it would have taken her all day to create some of these meals

that take us only a half hour or less...

...but anyway..again I say..

recipes don't get any easier than this one...

3 ingredients tossed together and baked for a

great tasting supper!

...enjoy...
