DIY Uncrustable Sandwiches

Pin to Pinterest

More in our Back to School Series – Project Lunchbox! This week we are using Homemade Uncrustables PB&Js. I used a Wonder Sandwich Sealer N Decruster, but a knife works well too (doesn’t seal as well but definitely gets rid of the unwantable crust!)

Ingredients:

Sandwich Cutter and Sealer
Bread
Peanut Butter
Jelly
Sandwich Bags

Directions:

Make sure you get bread that is large enough to trim without hitting the crust.
For each sandwich, get two slices of bread.
Spread peanut butter on each slice of the bread, being careful to stay in the center and avoid where the cutting and sealing occurs.
Apply jelly to the middle of one slice.
Place the peanut butter only slice on top of the peanut butter and jelly slice (peanut butter side down).
Place cutter on top of sandwich and press down firmly (make sure crust is completely cut away).
Remove crust while cutter is still in place.
Make sure you have pressed down completely on the blue center sealing piece.
Lift off cutter and place sandwich in sandwich bag and place in the freezer.

Dollar Tree Halloween Decor – Decorate with Spooky Candles on a Budget

Sometimes your décor calls for a touch of the spooky. If you want to add a little macabre to your decorations try out one or all of these ghoulishly fun candle holder ideas. Simple and inexpensive to make- all items were picked up at Dollar Tree or found around the home. Festive and fun decorating can be frugal too with a little imagination, and a trip or two to your local dollar store.

Dollar Tree Halloween Decor

The Eyes Have It Candle Holder

I used less than half a pack of eyeballs from Dollar tree to create this eerie candle holder. You could easily get 3-4 of these to place around your home or for your Halloween party. Fill Candle holders with eye balls, fill remaining space with water and 1-2 drops red food coloring. Place candle on top to complete the look. They also have rubber bloody fingers and toes you can use to make another similar candle holder, using the same method with the water.

The Creepy Crawly Spider Climbed Up the Candle Holder

A pack of spider web and 5 spider rings were only $1 at of course Dollar Tree, I used a very small portion of the webbing and only 2 spiders per candle holder. To recreate: pinch off about a golf ball sized portion of webbing, stretch to flatten into an approximate circle shape, place candle holder in center of webbing, pull up and stretch over candle-the webbing will stick to itself pretty well. Clip the ring portion off spiders, and attach to web.

Going Batty Silhouettes

Print out THESE bat shapes or free hand cut your own bat shapes from black construction paper. In a small bowl mix a combination of equal parts water and Elmer’s glue to create a modge podge. With a paint brush apply a thin even coat of modge podge to candle holder, and the back of bat cutouts. Apply cutout to desired position on candle holder. Apply a layer of modge podge over the top of bat. Allow to dry 24 hours. This will cast delightful bat shapes on your wall when you place a votive candle to shine from behind it, place in a shadowy corner.

Mummified Candle Holder

Too cute to be frightening this candle holder will add a touch of Halloween whimsy to your counter top, table, or shelf. Begin by hot gluing large googly eyes on a glass candle holder. Apply a thin bead of hot glue to the base of candle holder. Press the tip of a roll of gauze bandage into the glue and smooth. Wrap gauze around the candle holder, leaving openings around the eyes. Press down with a small bead of hot glue. Alternatively you can use medical tape ( that’s what I did) Then you don’t have to mess with hot glue or any other adhesive, the kids can get in on this too!

Pumpkin Spice Doughnuts Recipe
Pin to Pinterest

Fall is filled with time at the pumpkin patch, apple picking and whipping up plenty of yummy treats! Doughnuts are one of those irresistible treats that easily change with every season, and pumpkin spice doughnuts are at the top of our list. It’s easy to whip up a fresh batch of doughnuts with ingredients you already have on hand and a couple seasonal treats.

Before you get started, read through the instructions entirely because frying doughnuts is a fast paced process. There are also several items that need to be prepped ahead of time to make the cooking easier.

Pumpkin Spice Doughnuts
Makes 12 doughnuts and 12 doughnut holes

Ingredients:

For Doughnuts

2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
3 ½ cups flour, divided into 1 cup and 2 ½ cup portions
1 cup sugar
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 eggs, 1 egg yolk
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
½ cups apple cider

For Doughnut Powder

1 cup sugar
1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice

For Frying

6 cups vegetable oil

Directions:

1. Prepare the items that you will be using. Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper. Ready two large plates, one with paper towels and the other without. In a clean paper lunch bag, mix doughnut powder ingredients and set aside.

2. In a large bowl, add the dry ingredients; 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt. Mix well. In a small bowl, mix the wet ingredients; eggs, egg yolk, apple cider and butter. Mix well.

3. Pour wet mixture into the large bowl containing the dry ingredients and whisk till all lumps are removed. slowly stir in remaining 2 ½ cups flour till fully combined. Chill dough in refrigerator for ten minutes.

4. Heat vegetable oil on medium-high in a fryer or large pot till it is 375°– use a candy thermometer to safely test temperature. While oil is heating, prepare counter space with a coat of flour. Wash and flour doughnut cutter, or one small and one large, round cookie cutter.

5. Remove dough from the refrigerator and pat out onto floured surface. When dough it ½” thickness cut out as many doughnuts with cutters as possible. Gather up dough remnants, ball up and pat out again until all the dough is used up. Transfer doughnuts and holes to lined baking sheet. Should end up with 12 doughnuts and 12 doughnut holes.

6. Drop one to two doughnuts into the frying oil at a time. After one minute dough should rise to the surface. Let dough fry for one more minute, then flip and fry for a minute and a half. Scoop doughnut out and transfer to paper lined plate.

7. When doughnut has cooled enough to handle, drop it into the paper bag filled with powder and shake. Don’t wait too long or sugar will not coat the doughnut entirely. Remove doughnut from paper bag and place on clean plate. Repeat until all the doughnuts are fried and powdered. Enjoy!

Welcome Back Apple Stamped Back to School Lunch Sacks

Pin to Pinterest

We’re kicking off a Back to School Bash with Frugal Coupon Living this week! When Ashley asked us to share some back to school ideas, we couldn’t be more thrilled. Being teachers we get just as excited (or nervous) to head back to the classroom as the kids do. For the next several weeks we’ll share with you some fun and educational ways to get in the school spirit.

Packing lunches can be a dreaded task in even the most organized of households. Use this art project as a perfect way to have your little ones help jump start your packing parties.

Supplies:

Paper lunch sacks
Washable paint (we used red, green, and white)
Apple sliced in half
Cork
Scraps of ribbon
Hole puncher
Black marker
Paper plates

Lay out a couple of paper plates for your kids with some paint on each of them. Show them how the apple can double as a stamp. Have them cover the cut side of apple with paint and stamp their bags. They can use the cork to make polka dots. Once they’re dry you can use the black marker to finish off the design. By folding the top of the bag over once and hole punching, you’ve prepared your bag to be used as soon as school starts. Have the kids design special ones for themselves or their siblings. Let them dry and store them away for back to school time. The final touch is some cute ribbon through the holes on the top once it’s stuffed with a yummy lunch!

Happy Birthday Lunch – Themed Lunchbox Back to School Series

Happy Birthday Theme Lunch

Pin to Pinterest

Welcome to the seventh post in our Back to School Series – Project Lunchbox! Today’s theme – Happy Birthday! With each series, we create a theme and strive to create fun and inexpensive lunches to give your child a little Celebration in their school day.

If your child’s birthday happens to fall on a weekday and during the school year, why not make it special? A few extra touches can really make your child feel extra loved and celebrated. Celebrate your child’s day by making a birthday themed lunch for your little cupcake.

I went simple with the food this theme, but included my daughter’s favorites; peanut butter and strawberry jelly, Sour Cream and Onion chips, fruit snacks, and fruit. Our school has a no celebration policy in tact for the classroom (class)… but on her birthday, I decided to surprise her with a little sugary treat (this is straying from my daily healthy lunch)!

To make everyday lunch items special, I raided my birthday stash, most of us have gift bags, wrapping paper, bows, and tissue on hand – This is frugal and costs no additional money. I wrapped her sandwich loosely, don’t want them having to wrestle at lunchtime to get into their sandwich. To make a sweet message, scratch lightly on a banana with a toothpick . Carve out a notes or picture, the air will darken the peel of your scratch, making your note extra visible. The cupcake went into a small lidded container, with a candle on top- not only does this make the lunch more festive but it keeps the cupcake from moving around if the lunchbox didn’t stay upright during the day.

Descent once more on your crafts stash and grab some stickers! With the stickies, I decorated the outside of the cupcake container and the pack of her favorite princess gummies. Finally, tying some curling ribbon to the handle of her drink container added some festivity to her lunch. Nestle all contents into a tissue paper bed.

While we all might not have the Martha Stewart of decorating abilities, anything that comes with bows, stickers, pretty colors and gift wrap is sure to excite our little ones! Smiles all the way around, you might even hear a “You’re the Best Mom Ever!” when she jumps in the car that afternoon.

To bring a little pizzazz to your child’s lunches with minimal effort begin by designating a drawer or basket in your kitchen. Gather simple items such as a paring knife, some basic cookie cutters, and an apple corer/slicer. Pick up fun items as you go to add to the collection. As you go about your day and life, you will notice little things that can be used for fun accessories or tools when making your child’s meal!

Do not forget the FREE Back to School Lunch Printables – a sweet note is always a great addition.
