Mini S’more Pies

Happy February!
As Winter drags on here in Michigan I love knowing that we are one month closer to Spring. I love the four seasons, but Winter is my least favorite. Days can be long and dark! I am definitely hoping Spring comes early!
While going through pictures from Summer, I remembered a few treats I made for our Cousin Campout  party. Each year we have a big backyard campout for all the kids in our family who have summer birthdays. It is one of my favorite events of Summer!

Donut Fruit Kabobs

This was a quick and easy treat for our beach trip.

2012 Ludington & Back Yard Fun 069

I used some donut holes, strawberries and some skewer sticks.
Cut off the top of the strawberries and then alternate each item on a skewer stick. I started and ended each one with a donut hole which helped to hold them together.

The kids loved them and they were so easy for them to eat without getting sand all over.

Tis’ The Season For Hot Cocoa

I LOVE sipping on a warm, creamy cup of hot cocoa this time of year and like many others I am addicted to Pinterest. I love having all of the things that inspire me organized all in one place!
Here is some yummy hot cocoa inspiration:

Simple Meal

Today I woke up feeling a  nauseas for the first time in a few months. I made some mint tea to help settle my stomach.

011

I also just wanted something simple for dinner and the first three months of my pregnancy I ate a lot of potato dishes which seemed to help with my stomach being upset.

022

I mixed together:
1 package of Simply Potatoes
Garlic
Dried Basil
Dried Italian Seasoning Mixture
Preheated the oven at 400 degrees.
Baked for 20 minutes.

005

After 20 minutes I took the mixture out and topped it with Parmesan Cheese and Bacon Bits.
I then switched the oven to broil and broiled for another 10 minutes to give the top a little crisp.

Steamy, yummy and so simple.
