Here is a quick, easy and cute treat for a special snack day at school or a nautical theme birthday party. My daughter was studying ocean and water this week. I made blue jello in a cup for the ocean water and topped it off with a mandarin orange sailboat.
All the rage these days (they even sell machines to make them, like the cupcake makers, cake ball makers!) I have been wanting to try making caking balls for some time now. We were having our last practice of the season for the synchronized skating team that I coach, The Texas All Stars — so I thought no better time than this to create a decadent treat than for my great group of girls. Thank goodness they liked them because if I had any leftovers, I would have easily eaten all of them myself. These are unbelievably good!

Your muffin tins can do much more than just cupcakes and muffins! This versatile pan can be used to make entrees, appetizers, breakfasts, sides, breads, desserts, and much more. This is your new go-to kitchen item. I made my first food in a muffin tin when I was eight, following a recipe in my children’s Betty Crocker cookbook for meatloaf muffins. I loved it then and I love it now as an easy and fun way to cook.
My daughter is celebrating “Texas week” at preschool and they are going to have a pretend camp out. Students will bring sleeping bags and they will sing campfire songs around a tissue paper and brown bag campfire (courtesy of Pinterest). But what camp out is complete with out a treat like S’mores! Who doesn’t love the traditional “roast your marshmallow over the open flame, slide it off onto a piece of chocolate and a graham cracker” s’more? (YUMM!). However; to make it easier to prepare and eat for 4 and 5 year olds (and much less messy for the teacher!), we made S’mores on a stick. Mia and I had so much fun making these together and it only took maybe 20 minutes total!
