Flower pot carrot dirt dessert

I first saw this idea in the Disney Family Fun Magazine, but they made it with hummus last year and my kids will not eat hummus. I was going to make this treat last year and time past too fast.

So today Jake and I made brownies for daddy and took some of it for the dirt for our flower pot treat. Then to make the carrots I bought circus peanuts and sour punch straws from Walgreen's. Both cost less than a dollar. Picture below.

What you need to make the carrots.

1. Cut the licorice up in to 3 sections, then cut the top 3 quarters.

2. Use to toothpick and put a hole in the top of the peanuts

3. Put licorice in the hole and you will have a carrot.

These are super easy to make and great for a kid party or yummy treat.

If you give a Cat a cupcake

We love all the books "If you give a" by Laura Joffe Numeroff. It makes "J" laugh each time we read them and we read them over and over.

So today we read "If you give a Cat a cupcake" and made rainbow cupcakes. They turned out so cute and colorful.

We mixed kool-aid to get the rainbow look, and the cupcakes tasted so YUMMY!!

Very fun little project to do with the kids tied in with this cute little book.

Materials:
White cake mix.....and the things listed on the box for the mix.
Then we placed mix in different bowls and added a sprinkle of the kool-aid mix to each bowl. Each bowl had a different color.
