  Food gifts for kids parties  Cheese & Grapes Sunflower (see Pinterest link above) I sliced a block of cheddar cheese into 1/4-inch slices and cut each slice diagonally. Arranged into a two-layer circle, filled circle with grapes and added a piece of celery for a stalk.  Rainbow Fruit Skewers (see Pinterest link above) I cut wooden skewers to 6-inches and threaded on a raspberry, Mandarin Orange, pineapple chunk, green grape, blueberry and purple grape.  Muffin Bouquet (from a friend and saw similar on pinterest) Bake Blueberry mini muffins using two paper

  Food gifts: Racing to the Dinner Table In keeping with our fun food theme we made these cute sloppy Joe cars. What do you think? (You didn't miss our other fun food posts, did you?

You will need: * Hamburger or ground turkey * 1 can sloppy joe sauce * hoaggy rolls (or you can use unsliced hot dog buns) * zucchini or cucumber * cherry

    The past weekend, my boyfriend and I were in a very productive mood. And hungry. So we decided to make steamed pork buns while the air is still cold out. But it’s boring to just make steam buns… so we started thinking what characters which were mostly white and easy to make. My boyfriend was looking through the games he owns and came up with two characters. A moogle from Final Fantasy, and Boo Ghost from Super Mario Brothers.   Food crafts: Moogle

  Food gifts: Frankenstein Halloween Treat So, being as excited for Fall as I am, I have really been wanting to make Holiday treats. Considering the people in my house would be either too old or too young to appreciate my efforts, I have been hoping that we would get invited to a Halloween party (cuz I dont want the hassle of throwing it myself, ya feel me right?) or have some sort of event where I could try out my "holiday treat" ideas... Well, tonight was the

  So I'm sure we're all sick of Star Wars posts.  All those posts got me thinking about other fun parties we've had in the past.   We've had variations of Halloween Parties a few times and since it's always all about the food with me, here are some of my favorites:  Food gifts: Halloween Feast Alien Eyeballs A little food coloring and a sliced olive makes these deviled eggs a little more devilish.  Swamp Scum My Friend Monica, taught me that if you blend up Jell-O before

  Funny food gifts for kids: Popcorn Snack, Collage, and a Book!  We read the book "The Popcorn Book" by Tomie de Paola yesterday.  While it's not one of my favorites of his, it is still an interesting book.  Two kids learn about corn and its history while making a delicious popcorn snack. I made real stove top popcorn for the first time in eons.  The kids were so funny.  It was like a big magic trick to see popcorn kernels go into the

  Food gifts: How to make a snowflake It’s been quite warm in NYC this winter (we only got some flurries a week ago or so) but despite the warm winter and bad economy, you still can feel festivity in the air! So, I’m going to do something wintery today. There are so many food artists out there who can carve intricate amazing looking sculptures out of vegetable or fruit, but it takes a lot of practice to do what they do. So

• Unique food gifts: Nom Nom Pata Nom!!

  I just came across another kinda geeky yet edible craft: kyaraben (or charaben). Short for "characterbento," this idea of character-themed lunches and meals originated from Japan as a clever tool to trick children into eating their veggies (and other "yucky" but nutritious foods). However, as with most simple hobbies, it has now evolved into an obsessive artform with its own community, contests, and jargon. One such member, Anna the Red, has created a jaw-dropping portfolio of kyaraben, with such incredible attention to detail

    Baby favor: Tinkerbell Tea Party We recently celebrated Kaylee's birthday by having a Tinkerbell Tea Party/Luncheon with 7 of her closest little girlfriends. It was SO MUCH FUN! I think every little girl has to have a doll cake at least once and this was her year. It was my first time making one and I think it turned out pretty good. I used the same ruffle technique that I did on this cake to frost it quickly. I also added

  Unique food gifts: Quick Halloween Project, Candy People Here is a great last minute Halloween idea. Quick and easy but they still have that handmade touch to it too. I saw this idea on Trey and Lucy and totally loved it. She made them with her kids, so I decided I could too. (Go and check out how her's look. They are super cute and a little different.) I let them pick out the combination of heads and bodies. They counted out

   Food gifts: Tilipia with Pineapple Mango Salsa... I like to pretend I can cook. (Pretend being the key word there). When I find easy recipes, I refer to them a lot.

Yummy!! and oh so easy   All the ingredients you need for the salsa: Tomatoes Cilantro Red Onion Mangos Pineapple (fresh or canned) Limes Salt Chop up your cilantro. I don't measure anything in this recipe. Normally
