I love owls and thought… I’ll make some Easter owls… (chocolate cupcakes that look like owls)… here is how / what I did:

Step 1 — Got all my supplies ready

Got all my supplies ready...

Step 2: Mix the cake mix

Step 3: Grease and flour cupcake pan

Step 4: Fill and bake muffins (according to directions)

Step 5: Cool and decorate!

All in fun! Woot! Today, I’ll be making chick-deviled eggs!

A lovely bunch of boys came up with the idea to eat red, white and blue foods for the 4th of July weekend. We ran with the idea at our house…and here was breakfast…

Plain yogurt, blueberries and strawberries! (Underneath is some granola!)

I hope all of you have a safe and enjoyable 4th of July holiday. I’ll post more fun pictures as I take them!

For now, let me tell you what I LOVE ABOUT JULY!

Red, white(<–white) and blue. Ice cubes. Swimming. Slurpees. Free time. Salads and fruit. Summer vegetables. Popsicles. The sound of the ice cream trucks in my neighborhood. Independence. Outdoor musical concerts. Festivals. The Bite of Seattle. Seafair. Captain Bogg & Salty. Whaling Days.

Oh, yes. I do not much like to eat anymore so I have ample time to play with my food… and this is what I came up with today. (The angry sandwich is inspired by one I found on the internet…the rest are my own creations!)

I do so love to play with my food. It is fun. I’ll let you know what I come up with next…

(FYI…the sandwiches are made with peanut butter and jelly… the eyes with pieces of apples and green bell peppers)
