Cooking With Kids Thursday: Candy Cane Sticks

December 20, 2012 by Leave a Comment

These candy cane sticks only require 5 ingredients to make and are great for helping those little ones with their fine motor skills!  My kids love palying with playdough and one of their favorite things to make are worms.  They use those same rolling skills to make these sticks with cookie dough.  Then they get to practice painting with the glaze and sprinkling with the peppermint.  So fun an festive for the holiday season.  Thanks Recipe.com!

Here’s what you need to make these:

  • 1 tube (16.9 ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • 1/2 cup finely crushed peppermint candy canes
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar

Here’s how to make them -> Candy Cane Sticks Tutorial

June 26, 2012 by Leave a Comment

This is probably the only way I will get my hubby and kiddos to eat zucchini.  I love the stuff, but they won’t go near it.  The zucchini makes this chocolate bread healthy… right?  At least that is what I will be telling myself as I eat a whole loaf all by myself.  Good thing the recipe yeilds two loafs.  Thanks for the recipe The Family Kitchen!

Here’s what you need to make this:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup canola oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 packed cups grated zucchini (don’t peel it)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
