Michelle's momAgenda Kitchen Folio Transformation

2012-01-11T12:01:00.000-08:00

Wow...my desk was a mess! With two kids it's amazing how many papers you need to keep at your finger tips. With the new year here, I wanted to get 2012 off to a great start so I decided to get organized with My momAgenda Kitchen Folio. I took all my loose papers, class lists, sport schedules, menus, business cards, etc. and put them all in my Kitchen Folio and I feel like a new person!

It’s amazing how one book can make you feel so much more organized... it has been such an organizational lifesaver! Inside the Kitchen Folio there are twenty double-sided plastic pages with tabs where you can easily slide up to forty sheets of paper. Now in the mornings when my son asks “What’s on the school lunch menu today?” I can look at my menu and say "chicken nuggets" instead of frantically searching for the answer. I can easily find a class list for play date's phone number... the list goes on and on! Now, I just go my Kitchen Folio and calmly look through my nicely organized papers! Whew! I've got it together now! http://www.papercottage.net/momagenda-pink-kitchen-folio.html

Grammy's Famous Hot Cocoa

2012-01-10T09:02:00.000-08:00

Nothing better than this on a cold winter day! Enjoy it in our monogrammed Lipstick Shades mug http://www.thepapercottage.com/personalized-monogrammed-mugs.html. Yummy!!!!

1 box powdered sugar (1 lb.)
1 box ( 1 lb.) Chocolate Nestle Quick
1 box ( 8 qt.) Carnation Powdered Milk
1 jar Creamora (10 oz.) or Coffee Mate
In a large soup pot mix all ingredients together using a wooden spoon and mix well. This will make a lot - so
use several storage jars, divide and store or give as gifts!

To make the cocoa:
For one serving, fill 1/3 of the mug with the mix and fill the remaining 2/3rds of the cup with boiling water and stir. Add marshmallows, whipped cream, and chocolate sprinkles or chocolate shavings!
ENJOY!

Kid fun at Thanksgiving

2011-11-12T10:06:00.000-08:00

Make your junior guests a part of decorating your Thanksgiving Table. As soon as everyone arrives, keep the kids entertained by designing pumpkin turkey centerpieces. Use mini pumpkins for the "kids' table" and larger ones for the "grown-up" table. Attach colored feathers, eyes, glitter— anything that makes your turkey sparkle! Then, have everyone create their own place card using construction paper, feathers, foam stickers and markers. What a great way to make the little ones feel a part of this special day!

Looking to get rid of oh-too-much Halloween candy???

2011-11-09T19:15:00.000-08:00

Yummy Left-Over Halloween Candy Cookies

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cup of crushed Halloween Candy (butterfingers, heath, snickers, m&m's are super yummy)

Preheat oven to 375° F.
Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in Halloween Candy. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets or use parchment paper to line your sheets for a perfect cookie!
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Make extra batches freeze them and use them for the holidays!

Or make it super easy with a pre-mixed Betty Crocker cookie Oatmeal or Sugar Cookie mix and jazz it up by adding in 1 1/2 cups of your favorite halloween candy. Have fun and experiment-- you can't go wrong with cookies and candy! It will be a fun project the kids will love to help with!
