Easy New Years Quiche with the Kiddos and Toca Kitchen 2

2 · Dec 27, 2014 · 3 Comments

+ This Easy New Years Quiche post brought to you by Toca Kitchen 2 App +

New-Years-Quiche-with-the-Kiddos

I am always looking for ways to get my kiddos involved in the kitchen. Cooking together teaches so many life skills like how to follow directions, how to share, how to clean-up after ourselves, how to be creative and so much more. I would have to admit that I don’t take all of the opportunities that I should because of the rush of life. It’s hard to slow down sometimes and remember to get the kiddos involved. Recently, I was introduced to a new App made especially for our kiddos called Toca Kitchen 2…

So… funny story. When I was invited to review Toca Kitchen, I had downloaded the app onto our family iPad and really didn’t do anything with it right at that moment. I had so many other things on my plate right at that point.

A few hours later, my little guy Gage, who is four, was playing with the iPad. I started to hear him chatting while he was playing a game and it started to sound like a cooking show. He has a Mother who likes to watch the food network, so I guess it wasn’t too far fetched. I went over to see what he was playing, and sure enough, he was playing the new Toca Kitchen 2 and without any prompting from me, he had figured it out all on his own and was having a ball!

For me I thought the graphics were a bit silly, but when I saw it through HIS eyes it was super fun. I then proceeded to teach his older sister how to play the game and they have had hours of fun playing together coming up with all kinds of crazy concoctions. Here’s a video of him doing one of his cooking shows… It’s super cute and he came up with it all on his own!

We decided to come up with our own Toca Kitchen recipe for the New Year. I created a simple quiche recipe and my daughter Emily picked all of the goodies to add to the quiche.

Easy-Quiche-Recipe

This is a super simple recipe that is PERFECT to make with your kiddos!

First, Emily grabbed all of our ingredients out of the fridge just like in the Toca Kitchen 2 App.

Both Emily and Gage washed their hands, and then using a kid safe butter knife, they prepped all of our ingredients for our quiches.

Prepping-ingredients-for-the-easy-quiche

I used some baking cups that I found at Target that are perfect for individual quiches. Emily cut the Pillsbury® Crescent Dough into squares and placed them into the baking cups.

These are all things that your kiddos can do with just a little direction from you.

Emily cracked the eggs into a dish, and Gage whipped them up…

They seasoned the eggs with salt and pepper and then poured it into the baking dishes. Then we each topped our quiches with our favorite toppings.

Emily loves all kinds of goodies in her quiche, she loves the whole kitchen sink. I opted for bacon, mushrooms & tomatoes.  Gage went non-traditional and packed his quiche full of tomatoes which was actually rather good! We topped all of ours with cheese and then Emily placed them into a 350˚ oven for 20-25 minutes.

Make sure the eggs are fully set and then remove from the oven. Let cool for a few minutes and then ENJOY!

English Toffee Cinnamon Bun Sweet Cake + Easy Neighbor Gift

12 · Dec 17, 2014 · 3 Comments

+ English Toffee Cinnamon Bun Sweet Cake post brought to you by Pillsbury Baking +

English-Toffee-Cinnamon-Bun-Sweet-Cake-from-WhipperBerry

We’re hitting crunch time friends! Christmas is about a week away. Have you figured out what you are giving your neighbors and friends this Christmas season? I have a super easy and super sweet gift idea for you… English Toffee Cinnamon Bun Sweet Cakes!

Cinnamon-Christmas-Cake-7

Uh yes… YUM!!

This is just a simple and scrumptious box cake mix and prepared frosting from my favorite folks at Pillsbury Baking. They have done all the hard work of making it perfect… All you have to do is bake it and make it look amazing!

Here is what you need…

Cinnamon-Christmas-Cake-2-2

Yep, that’s it. Well… You will need eggs and oil for the cake, but other than that, this is it.

I also found these great baking cups at Target that come with a clear lid. Super Cute and easy to use. You can find it in the baking section at Target.

Target-Baking-Cups-with-Lid

Mix up your cake according to the package directions and fill you baking cups 1/2 way.

cinnamon-bun-cake

Place in a 350˚ oven for 19-20 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool. If you would like a flat top to decorate, carefully cut-off the dome with a serrated knife.

Using a Jumbo Closed Star Decorating Tip, and a pastry bag… Pipe some simple stars on the top of your little sweet cakes.

Cinnamon-Christmas-Cake-4

Next, in a Ziplock bag, add some English Toffee. Using something heavy item like a rolling pin or meat tenderizer, take out some aggression and crush your toffee. Sprinkle on top of the sweet cakes and you’re finished!

All you need to do now is package your sweet treats.

I place the lid on the sweet cakes and then wrap with a ribbon. Then I add a fun gift tag that I created for this Holiday Season. 

You-make-Life-Sweet-Gift-Tag

You can download the gift tag HERE

I’ve printed the tag on kraft paper, but you can use whatever you like. All I did was tie it onto a stack of sweet cakes and we were ready for delivery!

Cinnamon-Christmas-Cake-1

It can’t get any easier than that. The cool thing is you can customize it for each family.

One box of cake mix will make 10 little sweet cakes. You will need two cans of frosting for that application. Stack them in 2’s and 3’s and it’s a fun new way to share some Christmas Cheer!

Cinnamon-Christmas-Cake-10

For a Savory gift tag option… Check-out this post.

Savory-Christmas-Gifts-5

How fun will it be to combine the two?!

How to Mix BB Frösch Chalk Paint Powder

16 · Dec 16, 2014 · 5 Comments

how-to-mix-BB-Frösch-chalk-paint-powder

BB Frösch Frösch Frösch Chalk Paint Powder has been gaining in popularity and I thought I would post how to mix this BB Frösch magic in a jar!

If you want to skip the paint powder and just get chalk paint instead, I wrote a post about that here.

Really quick… BB Frösch Chalk Paint Powder turns FLAT latex paint into CHALK PAINT!!

YEA… SUPER COOL! Read my review of BB Frosch here.

It’s 100% natural so you can skip all the harmful chemicals that come with popular DIY methods. Yep, those chemicals are nasty buggers, you don’t want any of that caustic stuff around your family for sure!

What’s cool about Chalk Paint you ask…

Well, you can skip all of that yucky prep work like, sanding, stripping & priming… That’s all the stuff I HATE about painting.

The issue for most folks is that traditional forms of Boutique Chalk Paint are really expensive. You’re going to pay anywhere from $38-$42 dollars for a QUART of paint. With BB Frösch Chalk Paint Powder, you can mix up your own quart of Chalk Paint for roughly $21! 

You can’t beat those savings.

Another fantastic benefit with  BB Frösch Chalk Paint Powder is that YOU get to pick your color!

It’s super easy to mix with your favorite high-quality FLAT finish Latex paint. Let me show you…

How to mix BB Frösch Chalk Paint Powder

We typically recommend that you mix only 8 ounces (1 cup) at a time. This is primarily to avoid waste. With Chalk Paint, your paint goes a lot further so you will be surprised at how little you really need for your project. I typically do most of my medium to small-size projects with just a sample pot from Home Depot!

One jar of Chalk Paint Powder will mix up one quart of paint OR 4 sample pots of paint.

Workshop outline-1

Here is what you need to do for 8 ounces (1 cup) of Chalk Paint…

Workshop outline-5

You first need to constitute the powder before you add it to the paint.

Add 2 heaping tablespoons of powder to a separate container. You don’t ever want to mix this dry directly into your paint. You will end up with a clumpy mess!

Workshop outline-7

Next, you need to add 1 tablespoon of water into the powder.

Workshop outline-9

Now all you have to do is stir your water into the powder. You are looking for a “donut glaze” consistency. Think Krispy Kreme… You know what I’m talking about!

If your mix is too pasty,  just add a few more drops of water until you get that “donut glaze” consistency that is perfect.

Workshop outline-11

At this point,  all you have to do is pour your paint right into your container.  You will see the white Chalk Paint Power which is great… Place the lid on your container and shake for 20-30 seconds or until you can’t see any more of that white paste.

Workshop outline-15

Now you’re all mixed up and ready to PAINT!!

Workshop outline-17

It’s really that EASY!!
