Fast Brunch Board

-

 

Putting together a fast board of snacks is one of my favorite ways to incorporate holidays into our everyday. It doesn't take much more time but it looks great. This brunch board is a great idea for Easter brunch (lots of fruit to counter act the chocolate) or for Mother's day. 
Small egg bites are a good way to add some protein to the snack board. My simple recipe is:
Ingredients:
• 4 eggs
• 1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 3 slices of ham chopped
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°
2. Grease muffin tins or silicone muffin molds (I used heart and flower shaped molds)
3. In a small mixing bowl, beat eggs with a fork 
4. Mix in the rest of the ingredients
5. Spoon the mixture into the muffin molds
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the egg bites are firm
I start by lining my board with parchment paper. Them add the veggies and fruit. For this brunch board I used blueberries, apples and carrots. I also made tomato and mozzarella skewers. I had some mini muffins but buttered toast or scones would also be good additions. Add the egg bites to the middle of the.board and enjoy!
Happy crafting and happy Spring!

For Little Misses 4th birthday she wanted a Mario themed birthday party, we'll she wanted a Princess Peach birthday party but she was alright with adding Mario and Luigi. I bought some decorations but I made a Super Mario obstacle course, we even played the theme song while we went through the obstacle course. It was like being inside a video game.  I also made Mario themed cupcakes and snacks. Super Mario themed cupcakes These were fun to make and with some fondant it is easy to make them look like recognizable Super Mario characters.  What you need: Cupcakes (the birthday person's favorite kind) Icing White Fondant (I use white fondant and add food colouring to make the coulours I need but you can also buy already coloured fondant, it's not as messy)  Food Colouring What to do: Frost the cupcakes with the regular icing.

DIY Minecraft Nerf Gun Target

We have been having fun with nerf guns in the backyard this summer. To change it up  from Nerf Gun battles we decided to make some targets to practice on. Materials: Cardboard box Paint pens  Duct tape  Measure the targets, one big circle in the middle, four smaller circles around the middle target. Cut out the circles, measure about a 1/2" from the edge and cut the contour of the small circles. Measure 1" on the center circle and cut the contour. Draw a character on each target. We chose a creeper for the middle target and pigs for the smaller targets. Place the target in their perspective circles, measure twine to hang each target in place. Duct tape the twine to the target and the targets to the support. Tape all the shapes to their respective openings. Add point value for each shape.  It's  time for target practice! Happy crafting!
