“RETRO” SNACKS-COOK-OUT CUPCAKES

These “retro” snacks are fun to make and bring a smile to everyone’s face.
We call them cook-out cupcakes.

Cook-out Cupcakes are a fun and tasty summertime dessert. Cupcakes are decorated to look like a cheeseburger. Loved by adults as well as children.

I have been making some “retro” snacks for my grandchildren this summer and thought of this one. I have not made it for at least 6 or 7 years. They use to love for me to make these cute little cook-out cupcakes when they were younger. Continue reading “RETRO” SNACKS-COOK-OUT CUPCAKES →

BABY-SHOWERS…MODERN DAY TRENDS

June 16, 2015 pamelashank2015 2 Comments

I believe that everyone will agree the baby showers of today are nothing like what we had with our children. They were hosted by a close friend or family member and consisted of serving cake, punch, and finger foods; playing games, and opening gifts. Men did not attend the showers.

It is common now for the expectant parents to both attend a cook-out or dinner to celebrate the shower.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY

Happy Valentine’s Day.

I LOVE to make decorated sugar cookies and special treats for my grandchildren.

My kitchen has been a busy place baking cookies and making these cute little candy treat bags. The candies and cupcakes are lined up for the task.

I mail a Happy Valentine’s Day box to my grandsons in Colorado and North Carolina. I add some Valentine window clings and it is a fun, inexpensive treat from grandma and grandpa. The other children live nearby, so I am able to give them their boxes in person.

Decorated sugar cookies are always a sweet treat that make everyone happy. Here is my recipe Decorated Sugar Cookies

Fix a little treat bag of cookies and deliver to a co-worker, a neighbor, the mailman, or any special person in your life.
