{Friday Fave} Teeny Tiny Donuts

How adorable is this?!!!

Omgosh, when I found this via Pinterest I fell in love! LOL :D

Seriously, I just couldn't believe how cute it was! I hopped on over to The Unconfidential Cook to discover how they were made and you won't believe how easy they are! Head on over and check it out. 

Making these is going to be a new tradition for me and my kids on Christmas Eve. 

They're gonna be a special treat for Santa's elves! ;o)

{Friday Fave} Bento Box Meals

This is my new current obsession the last few days...bento box meals!
As I mentioned yesterday, my daughter is starting Kinder and I have everything back-to-school on the brain. I started to think of things to make for her lunches and turned to google for some more ideas. I came across this great site Wendolonia by blogger Wendy Copley. I definitely have it bookmarked and she has lots of great ideas...among them a bento box gallery! Bento boxes are historically a Japanese boxed lunch.
 They are single serving, compact and very visually appealing! If you google kids' bento lunches you will find some very creative inspiration. Just look at these below
and don't forget to check out Wendolonia too!

Fun Easter Food

I found some great ideas for fun Easter food today and thought I'd share with you. I came across these Mini Caprese Bites on Southern Living and thought they would be an adorable appetizer for Easter since they look like little eggs! :)

Yummy Comfort Food!!

I got a request for some recipes and I came across these that look like heaven! The weather is getting cold and it's time for us to plump up for winter. That's what I told my Husband anyway! {...as I was buying brown sugar and corn syrup and yams  and....well, you get the idea!}

 I'm gonna make some soup to warm me up today but tomorrow I just might be making this one!

I found this tempting Corn Chowder with Chilies on Pioneer Woman. If you haven't checked out her site, you have to! She has great recipes and even a section with viewer submitted recipes. There's a homeschooling section, a photography tip section, lots of fun stuff! While I was there I could not stop my hand from clicking on this yummy pic too and grabbing this recipe.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE SWEET ROLLS!!

Can you imagine?? I want to!! {lol}

Homemade dough, sugar, chocolate, butter.....ahhhhhhhh. Get the recipe here. And get cooking!!

The Party Take on This:

These recipes would be great for a dinner party or any party.  Have a rustic party with lots of appetizers.  Tiny cups filled with this corn chowder, wedges of quesadillas on a big platter, garlic bread hot out of the oven, more mini cups or bowls with some homemade chili beans...can't you picture it? And for your dessert table....cake stands fulls of these rolls, and classic cinnamon rolls, and donuts, and mini pies...... with mugs of your favorite coffee and hot chocolate! YUM!

Sounds like a hit to me!

Halloween Treats That Don't Have To Be Sweet!!

I have to make these! Aren't they cute?!  I found them here at Fab Frugal Food.  So easy but so adorable!  My kids like hard boiled eggs and I think I would almost just skip the whole deviled egg process and cut a plain hard boiled egg open and stick the "spider" on top like that!!  Love it!

How about these "green meanies" ?!  Another quick snack for the kids or a good snack to take into work for your Halloween parties!  Just apples, peanut butter and slivered almonds!  Check them out here.

Last but not least your little one will LOVE these spiderweb pizzas from Woman's Day! 

Use string cheese for your web!

All of these are quick and easy ideas, but thoughtful and sure to put a smile on someone's face! 

Hope you try 'em!!

Creepy Candy Apples!!

OH...MY...GOODNESS! 

I discovered this today and had to share...

Are these not AMAZING!  I LOVE them.  I discovered Matt Bites today, a really wonderful site about food, drinks, travel, etc. and obviously with BEAUTIFUL photography!  Matt's partner Adam made these. 

 Here are some of the other posts I fell in love with.

I thought this picture looked beautiful! I am dying for that big pitcher in the background! Be sure and check out the full post here.

These pictures were from a shoot he did at Jordan Winery in Sonoma.  I loved them because my Husband took me to Sonoma for my 30th Birthday and we drove down a street lined with trees just like this one on our way to an adorable little Italian restaurant for a relaxing, romantic dinner just the two of us {thanks Mom n Sis for watching the kids!!! lol}.  Be sure and check out this post too!  His site is sooo full of goodies! 

Go get inspired!

p.s.

On a side note, sorry I have not been posting!  I am not feeling well, and without a camera right now {gasp!!}. But I will have some posts coming up soon with some goodies I have been making!  Please stay tuned!

Camping Inspired!

Well, we went camping for a few days and it left me with tons of inspiration! {...and withdrawls being away from the computer and no phone service, etc., etc.!! lol}  But seriously a camping theme party would be so cute, or even a fishing theme.  With both parties, so much could be done with the decor and especially the dessert table!!  Here's a little recipe for you I found on the Woman's Day website putting a new twist on s'mores!
