This is a repost that I did a year ago. The original post said to use your leftover Halloween candy, but you could use any of these recipes before Halloween for your parties, get together’s or for a fun family night! These recipes are also great to give away as gifts for the holidays. Many of these recipes can be changed up just a little bit and you could use them for any time of the year!
I cannot believe that October is already more than half over! Where does the time go???
Today for my Thursday’s Thought, I decided to make these fun Halloween Soup Can labels, instead of a thought, I don’t think that anyone will mind… right?
I am sure that you have probably seen this idea before but they are such a fun idea for kids, grandkids, co-workers, visiting teaching, neighbors or to BOO your friends!
Here is fun, EASY, treat that you can make for your family for family night, or for a Halloween party, or to take a treat to your neighbors or co-workers! It is just a simple spin on a classic recipe!
Here is the visiting teaching handout for this month for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
This month they are starting a new series on the visiting teaching message: “This is the first in a series of Visiting Teaching Messages featuring aspects of the mission of the Savior.”
This month the aspect that is being taught is that Jesus Christ is the Creator. I chose to feature the quote by President Utchdorf; “We are the Reason He Created the Universe! I love this thought and I hope that we can all remember this in times of trial and sorrow.
Here is another recipe that was shared at our craft retreat! Who doesn’t love the yummy taste of S’mores? This is a fun treat that you can enjoy any time of the year! It is great to put in individual cups or bags and is perfect for your next Halloween get together… or for the next big football game… or for family night… or just to treat yourself! :)
Here is the recipe that I promised, for a yummy sweet and salty fall mix that I used to give the sisters that I visit teach.
I love the buttery, salty flavor of the bugles for the base of this recipe, it is also a great recipe because you can add whatever you want to make your own version! I think that dried cranberries, chocolate pomegranates or spiced gumdrops would also be wonderful in this mix!
Here is a fun version of Muddy Buddies that would be perfect for almost any summer gathering that you might have! It is easy to make, easy to transport, easy to serve and it looks delicious to boot!
Both young and old love the taste of Oreo cookies, making this version of muddy buddies one of our all-time top favorites!
Today I decided that I would just share a few fun ideas from past posts, to make your summer just a little bit more patriotic. With the 4th of July coming up, maybe you could use one or two of these ideas. Just click on the link below each picture for step-by-step directions or recipes.
This first idea, to help with your decorating needs, are these fun lollies. They are easy to make and they are quite stunning! I made mine into a garland and you can learn how to make your own too:
If you need a really yummy, refreshing drink for your outdoor parties this summer, you will want to try this beautiful Cherry Limeade drink! It tastes as good as it looks!
Next I will show you some fun games and ideas for your next summer party! The kids of all ages loved these games, so get a jump start and get the supplies to make your own, along with fun prizes!
This recipe is perfect for snacking, but I must warn you that it can be very addicting! With the sweet and salty taste, you won’t be able to eat just one handful! It is a combination of chocolatey, sweet, salty, peanut butter, and marshmellowy bliss! This is fun to package up in individual cups or bags and looks so pretty! There is also a story behind the name of this treat!
And last, but not least, here is a fun printable for you to use! We all know how precious our freedom is, so let’s let it RING! You can make it into a faux canvas block, like I did here, or you can just print it and frame it. There is the tan background or a white version.
So that is my patriotic round-up. I hope that there is one or two ideas that you can use for your summer fun!
