Valentine Confetti - Nom..Nom..!

Well I was going to go with goldfish for my daughters class valentines until I came across this and now...well I'm not in the mood for fish anymore. My sweet tooth over powered me (as it always does) and I'm going with the Valentine Confetti this year. I mean seriously, what would you rather nibble on??

I'm going to attempt adding some cutesy name tag to each bag...but I think this will be a bigger hit than the goldfish idea.  I need a brownie....

Awesome 1 - 2 - 3 Cake!!

I don't know how many times I have regretted making an entire batch of brownies or cookies only to have my kids eat a few and it be left sitting there the next day taunting me. Rude, right? I think this is a great idea. It limits how much you are likely to eat. If I had an entire cake there or 20 cupcakes, I may be in trouble. (surely I am not the only one) This idea is brilliant. Thanks again Pinterest for leading the way to awesomeness! And thanks to The Hidden Pantry for sharing. But mostly...thanks to Aunt Betty!!!

Okay, as far as the pink chocolate chip cookies go - also a big hit amongst the girls!! Even my son, Jackson, thought they pretty cool. And he is 9 1/2 and like way cooler than me. I did get the idea from Pinterest but her cookies said they are crunchy and we don't do crunchy, we do chewy so I just bought the cookie dough from the store, put it in a bowl and added the pink gel food coloring.  I kneaded it with my hands until it was the color I wanted.  It will darken up some in the oven so keep that in mind. And your hands are going to get stained but just wash as soon as you are done and it will eventually go away.  Anyways, if you are a fan of the crunchy here is the link. http://quick-dish.tablespoon.com/2011/10/09/pretty-in-pink/


 And you can make whatever color of cookies you want!!! Fun..Fun!

~Rainbow Cupcakes & Pink Chocolate Chip Cookies~
 They are the bomb people. And they are so simple and easy.  I'm sure you are thinking it is completely unnecessary for me to blog about the rainbow cupcakes because of their simplicity. However, I am not blogging to tell you how to make them.  I'm here to tell you how cool you will be if you do make them. For about three hours I was the coolest mom on the block.  No seriously. I was awesome! And my daughter and all her friends all said so!! Who doesn't want the acceptance of 4 seven year old girls. Point for Mommy! Anyways, besides just being fun for her - these things have endless possibilities. Seriously. Think about it.
