Fig Newtons Easter Bible Cookies

Ingredients:

Fig Newton Cookies
Decorating Icing in a color of your choice
Red or yellow fruit roll ups
Scissors

Directions:

Outline the top of a Fig Newton cookie with a thin rectangle frame of decorator’s icing. This can be in any color that you like, but we prefer white.
Next, make two vertical lines with icing on either end of one side of the cookie. This will make the spine of your Bible.
Draw a cross with icing in the middle of the top of your Fig Newton cookie.
Cut a small rectangle shape from a Fruit Roll Up. Gently push it into the filling on top of the cookie. This will be the top of your bookmark for the Bible.
Cut another rectangle from the Fruit Roll Up, but this time, cut a small triangle out of the bottom edge of it. Gently push this piece into the filling on the bottom of the cookie so that it sticks out slightly. This will be the bottom of the bookmark in your Bible cookie.
Stick the cookies in the fridge or freezer for a bit to let the icing start to harden, or serve immediately.

To help you prepare for Dr. Seuss Day, we wanted to share this adorable Green Eggs and Ham Dr. Seuss Cupcakes. Made with boxed cake mix and a few simple ingredients, make these cupcakes for kids on March 2.

Green Eggs and Ham Dr. Seuss Cupcakes

“I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam-I-Am!” Whether are Sam-I-Am, Sarah-I-Am, or Whomever-I-Am and love or hate green eggs and ham, we have a fun Dr. Seuss Cupcake for you! This cupcake is an adorable after school snack for Dr. Seuss Day on March 2. Use your favorite vanilla cupcake mix, some green icing and vanilla icing topped with black rope licorice to make these adorable cupcakes!

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

10 to 12 Prepared Cupcakes (6 white and 4 to 6 Green cupcakes)
1 Container White Frosting
1 Container Green Frosting
2 cups (Roughly 4 to 6 cupcakes) Crumbled Green Cake
Black Rope Licorice

Directions:

Prepare vanilla cupcakes according to the package. Make sure a few of your cupcakes are green (use a few drops of green food coloring when mixing the batter.)
Cook according to package directions and cool.
Frost all the white cupcakes with the white frosting in a flat, smooth layer.
Mix the crumbled green cake with a tablespoon or two of green frosting until it comes together so you can scoop it. (Note: When I made my white cupcakes, I tinted 4-6 with green coloring to get my green cake.)
Use a small cookie scoop, a put a rounded scoop of green cake mixture on the center of each cupcake so it looks like a green egg yolk.
Take a piece of licorice rope about the length to make a circle shape on top of a cupcake. Lay a piece on each cupcake in a circular shape around the edge, it will naturally curve and not be a perfect circle. This is what you want it to do, so just press it into the frosting so it lays down. It should look like the edge of an egg.
Enjoy these fun treats for Dr. Seuss Day!

February 2nd is Dr Seuss Birthday. To prepare we created a Dr. Seuss food or treat for all of you – Cat in the Hat Rice Krispie Treats! Enjoy.

Dr. Seuss Food | Cat in the Hat Rice Krispie Treats

Hosting a Dr. Seuss Party? Ready for Dr. Seuss Day on March 2nd? Whatever the special occasion, we all love the classic The Cat in the Hat. Celebrate Dr. Seuss with one of your favorite characters in Rice Krispie Treat form! No one can mistake that red and white hat filled with mischief and fun! Make Dr. Seuss Day memorable with a tray of these at a party or even an after-school snack with friends! They’re so easy to make, let the kids join in the fun of stirring and decorating!

Ingredients:

Ingredients for Rice Krispies:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
Two 10 oz. bags of mini marshmallows
10 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional)

Ingredients for Dr Seuss Rice Krispies:

2 T solid shortening
3/4 cup Wilton white chocolate melts
9 large red Airheads candies (or red fruit roll ups)
Black write-on gel
Red write-on gel

Directions:

Directions for Rice Krispies:

Spray a 9 x 9 pan with Pam and set aside.
In a large sauce pan, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring constantly.
Once the marshmallows are melted, remove from the heat and stir in the cereal and optional salt until well-coated.
Using a rubber spatula (spray with Pam for easier handling), transfer the cereal mixture to the prepared pan and press down firmly and evenly.
Allow the Rice Krispies to cool in the pan completely.

Assembly Directions for Dr. Seuss Treats:

Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper. Set aside.
Cut the prepared Rice Krispies (from recipe above) into 6 even long rectangles.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, microwave the solid shortening for 40 seconds or until melted.
Add the white chocolate melts and stir until completely melted.
Immediately coat each Rice Krispies stick with the melted white chocolate and place on the baking sheet to “set” for at least 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut each Airheads piece into 2 pieces lengthwise. You will have 18 pieces total.
Once the chocolate on the Rice Krispies is dry, take an Airhead piece and wrap around a Rice Krispies stick at the very top of the stick. Pinch at the back to seal.
Wrap another Airheads piece around the stick about 1/2-1 inch down from the top one. Pinch at the back to seal.
Repeat step 7 with another Airheads piece. Complete steps 6-8 until all of the Rice Krispies have 3 airheads pieces alternating with white chocolate for the hat.
With the black write-on gel, pipe two eyes, a nose and whiskers on each stick.
At the very bottom of each stack, pipe a large “X” with the red write-on gel. Fill it in with the gel to resemble a bow tie.

Top 5 Pinterest Pins for September 2018

You guys, I can’t believe we are in the first few days of October. Last year at this time, I was in my second trimester of pregnancy with the twins and assigned bed rest shortly before Halloween. In fact, I am writing this post on my bed and when I sat down to write, I had terrible PTSD. Nothing major but I immediately had déjà vu of my eight weeks of bed rest trying to keep those boys are the inside. The fall light must have been just right and triggered my “been here” moment! Speaking of repeating things, Pinterest also seems to know we are close to Elf on the Shelf Season where I list ideas every day in November and December. Every time I open the Pinterest home page, it shows me all these Elf on the Shelf Ideas… don’t you freight. I am already photographing. So many cute ideas to come.
