Today, Giggles and I tried out some Japanese egg molds I ordered on Amazon.com…..and we made the tastiest hard boiled eggs ever! We even ate the Yucks! I bought these egg molds [...]

Giggles has developed a taste for hard boiled eggs. Well….just the whites. She throws the “Yucks” in the sink, trying to shoot them down the garbage disposal hole with one shot.

A Beautiful Failure

by beagoodmom on June 20, 2011

The kids and I set out today to make something for the Charity Bake Sale at my office this week. Originally, we were going to make little Cherry Pies in 1/2 pint Mason Jars, but I was worried about how long they would last before the crust got soggy. So, we decided on Rainbow cakes [...]

Making Angry Bird Cupcakes

by beagoodmom on April 23, 2011

Like the rest of America, the BeAGoodFamily went through an Angry Birds phase. BAGD started us off. I got on board and raced ahead of him in levels cleared. Then I lost interest and he was the one who actually beat it. Then after our interest had died down, the kids somehow learned about it. [...]

Oreo Cupcakes

by beagoodmom on January 31, 2011

I saw this inspiring post with a recipe for Oreo Cupcakes. They seemed like they would be tasty, and perfect for our 8th Birthday celebration, so the girls and I got to work. This recipe had a lot of good jobs for little hands. They had to twist apart the cookies, lay the opened cookies [...]

Cookies!

by beagoodmom on January 19, 2011

These remind me of a cookie I used to make every Christmas. Instead of swirling the doughs, I took one ball of red dough, one ball of green dough and one ball of plain dough and kneeded them lightly together, to create a tye-dye effect. Very cute, also adaptable to non-Christmas festivities and colors! I [...]

Well, it was no glitter and fabric oatmeal cozy…

by beagoodmom on December 23, 2010

but we did manage to make Chocolate Peppermint Whoopee Pies today! It was just a $4.99 kit from Target that I picked up in my feelings of frenzy (mentioned yesterday), but it required quite a bit of ingredients and prep. The kids had the best time filling the cookie sandwiches and adding sprinkles and crushed [...]
