Hot Chocolate Bar
Baby It’s Cold Outside! Here in my neck of the woods, we have been having record-setting rainfall and flooding. It’s downright miserable out there! When my kids get off the school bus, they are pretty cold, so I wanted to create a little something special to help them warm up. I am just thrilled at how my little hot cocoa bar turned out. Now that I’ve got it all set up I just have to refill the carafe before they get home and everything else is ready to go! Using canisters I purchased at Tuesday Morning, I added hot chocolate mix, marshmallows and some cute little candy cane sticks that…

It always draws attention and it always gets the guests excited for the upcoming event. Believe it or not, these invitations in a bottle can actually go through the mail. I add just under 1/4 cup of sand to the bottom of the…

Tiny Taco Bar
A Taco Buffet: a sure crowd pleaser! One of my favorite types of meals to prepare include some kind of “serve yourself” bar where you get to customize your meal to your liking, and because I’m not a short order chef, serving meals this way insures that everyone is happy. You don’t want onions? You can’t have dairy? You think salsa is too spicy? Great…make it how you like it! A tacos bar is also a great way to introduce new flavor combinations. My family loved these pulled chicken tacos and by making them with mini taco shells, they were able to try out a variety of different flavors without…
