Did you know you can make your own gummy candies? It's really not hard. They aren't as sweet, or as colorful as the ones you buy at the store, but they are still fun to make. And I feel like they are a bit healthier anyway.

We had a hot day today, and the kids asked to make Line Cooler. And yes that is line with an 'n', not 'lime'. Our recipe is adapted from the Line Cook Cooler in The Grit Cookbook. The Grit is a restaurant in Athens, Georgia and don't you know that they know a thing or two about heat and humidity.

We actually don't watch a lot of football at my house. But the Super Bowl is fun, even though some of us are more interested in the commercials than the game. And of course there are the snacks, too! Here are some snacks kids love and that they can help make.

Our family loves hot chocolate. We like to get a little fancy with it and have fun coming up with different flavor combinations. Hot chocolate is hard to mess up. It's a great way to have kids do some creative cooking. I have a selection of coffee syrups.
