Kitchen Fun and Crafty Friday link party #67 AND a T-Fal ActiFry Giveaway (a $250 value)

It's time for our Kitchen Fun & Crafty Friday link party!  We wanted to thank all of you for your kind words about my dad passing away last week. It was totally unexpected so we are still in a bit of shock.  It's been a very tough last few weeks, but we are amazed at all of the love and support from our family, friends, & followers! I have made a lot of wonderful blogging friends and all of you have been so kind. We really appreciate all of your support!

We love all of you so much and we are thrilled to be able to Giveaway a T-Fal Actifry to one of our lucky readers! Have you heard or seen one of these? It's awesome!! We were sent a Actifry to try out and we love it! 

The ActiFry from T-fal is a low fat multi-cooker and can be used as a healthy alternative to the traditional deep fryer. It features a removable ceramic-coated, non-stick pan, a transparent steam-free lid, pulsating heat technology and an automatic stirring paddle which ensures even distribution of oil in each meal prepared. Most things can be prepared in the Actifry with 1 tablespoon of oil!

The ActiFry also comes with a booklet full of recipes to make in the ActiFry.  My boys were excited to try out potato wedges.  I was too thinking how awesome to have something that makes a batch of potato wedges or french fries on such a little amount of oil! We made the Potato Wedges with Herbs & Spices. There are so many other recipes your can also make including appetizers, chinese food, veggies, pastas, meats, desserts, & so much more!

You can view a lot of recipes for the ActiFry HERE!

S'mores Sheep Pops

Most of you that have followed us for a long time know how much we love making s'mores pops!  We have made a ton of them and we thought it would be cute to make S'mores Sheep Pops today!  My boys loved them and they were super easy to make!

S'mores Sheep Pops

(makes 2)

Graham Crackers (we like Keebler)

1 Hershey Chocolate Bar

Mini Marshmallows (halved...we like Jet Puffed)

2 Marshmallow Bits

1 Jumbo Marshmallow

Chocolate Cookie Frosting

Black Edible Marker

Lollipop Sticks or Decorative Straws

Start out by cutting the graham crackers using a flower or round cookie cutter like this....

Cut a jumbo marshmallow in half and squeeze the chocolate cookie frosting on one side. Place on one graham cut out.  Squeeze more frosting on top and then place the other graham cut out on top.  Break off a piece from the Hershey chocolate bar and snip off the corners using kitchen scissors. Attach on the top using the frosting.  Cut a marshmallow bit in half and attach on the Hershey piece for the eyes....

We colored the marshmallow bit halves with edible marker to make pupils.  Cut the mini marshmallows in half and attach around the Hershey head using the frosting.  We also broke off pieces from the chocolate bar to make feet & ears. Attach with the frosting. Poke in a stick and that's it!

Here is a side view.....

My 2 year old was in love with his S'mores Sheep Pop!

This is such a fun treat for the kids and also a fun treat for them to help create themselves!

Dog House Lunch

I was going through our pictures today and found this fun Dog House Lunch that we made a long time ago and never posted on our blog. This is very easy to make & I remember my boys loving this!

Dog House Lunch

2 Pieces of Bread
Peanut Butter
Grape Jelly
1 Clementine
2 Edible Eyes

Cut off the crust from the bread and in the shape of a rectangle using kitchen scissors.  Spread peanut butter and a little bit of grape jelly in between the slices. Use the crust or cut from a end piece to make the roof.  Spread grape jelly on the outside to make a hole.  Peel a clementine and save the peel.  Cut the clementine in half and place the halves on the plate next to the dog house sandwich.  Decorate the clementine halves by cutting the peel to make ears, legs, & face.  We used edible eyes & a red sprinkle for the tongue.

Woof Woof!!

Caterpillar Snack Wrap made with Heluva Good! dip

We were asked by Heluva Good! to come up with a recipe using 5 ingredients or less using one of their dips as part of their blogger contest.  We also wanted to make something look fun for kids (of coarse!) so we came up with this fun Caterpillar Snack Wrap!  This was a huge hit with my boys and it's so simple to make!  This is also a great way to get your kids to eat spinach tortillas! 

We would love for you to vote for us on the Heluva Good! Facebook page!!! The voting starts today and you must "like" the Heluva Good! Facebook page to see the entries & click vote!

Heluva Good! provided us with their dips and we loved them all, but decided to go with the Black Bean Queso Dip. This was our favorite!  We now also eat this in place of regular sour cream for burritos, etc...  This worked perfectly in our Caterpillar Snack Wrap and it tasted delicious!! The best thing about this fun lunch is that you can use any of the Heluva Good! dips including Ranch, French Onion, White Cheddar & Bacon, Jalapeno Cheddar, Bacon Ranch, Buffalo Wing, Bacon Horseradish, & Bodacious Onion!

Heluva Dip! Caterpillar Snack Wrap

1 Spinach Tortilla

1 1/2 cups Chopped Rotisserie Chicken

3 tablespoons Black Bean Queso Heluva Good! sour cream dip

1 Tomato (haved)

Lettuce

Start out by mixing the chopped chicken, Heluva Good! black bean queso dip, 1/4 cup chopped tomato, & about 1/2 of a cup of chopped lettuce.  Spread the mixture on a spinach tortilla.   Roll it up and cut off the ends using a knife. Then cut the roll into slices.  Place a large lettuce leaf on a plate.  Line up the slices on a plate. You should have about 8 pieces.  Take the cut off end pieces and cut out a circle using kitchen scissors. Place it on one of the end slices. 

Cut the remaining tomato into strips. Then cut the strips into little legs. Place them on the bottom of the slices. We also made a mouth using a piece of tomato.  We cut out antennas using the cut off end spinach tortilla scraps and press them in the top of the head. We made the eyes from small pieces of chicken.

Here is my very happy 6 year old with this Heluva Good! Caterpillar Snack Wrap!

Heluva Good! asked us to be a part of their contest and provided us with our dips. The opinions are 100% our own!:)

The New Eggo Drizzlers Review!

I am sure most of you know that we are huge fans of Eggo waffles!  My boys love them and we also love to make fun food using Eggo products.  We tried out the new Eggo Drizzlers and these were a huge hit with my boys and I love them as well!  The Strawberry & Blueberry Eggo Drizzlers are made with real fruit & taste so much better than syrup! They have 40% less sugar than traditional syrup!  It's awesome that something with less sugar actually tastes way better than syrup!! They also come in other flavors.

You can just drizzle the flavor packets on the waffle or let the kids make a fun picture, shape, name, etc...We tried out the Stawberry & Chocolate Eggo Drizzlers.  

They were both fantastic, but my favorite was the strawberry. I bet the strawberry would also make a great PB&J Waffle sandwich for lunch! We made a simple heart using the strawberry packet....

My boys loved the chocolate the most and we made a bear with the chocolate packet and some slices of banana....

We love how easy it is to create fun pictures with the packets and they are also such a  nice change from syrup.  The Eggo Drizzlers come in boxes with 6 waffles & 3 topping packets.  You just toast the waffles like you would any other Eggo waffle & press on the packets with your fingers to warm it up a bit. That is what we did. You can also put the packet in a cup of warm water.  Then you pull off the top of the packet and squeeze it onto the waffle.  

The kids will have so much fun drizzling their flavors on the waffles!  We can't wait to try the Blueberry Eggo Drizzlers! These will definitely be a new favorite in our house for breakfast!:)

Visit www.facebook.com/Eggo or www.leggomyeggo.com for more information on the new Eggo Drizzlers Waffles and all of the other Eggo products and recipes!
