My husband introduced me to these years ago on a camping trip. He learned how to make them in Boy Scouts when he was young. He's continued this fun tradition with our own Boy Scout Troop. Homemade Root Beer Experimentby Lauri Griffin03 Jan 2008 03:56 PMDo your kids like root beer? One of my children wanted a homemade root beer kit for Christmas. He didn't get it. The kit looked complicated and was expensive. To create the root beer involved steeping roots and sterilizing bottles. It didn't sound like much fun to me. Cooking With Kids - White Chocolate Pretzelsby Lauri Griffin17 Dec 2007 09:58 PMI've been looking for easy things for my kids to help with. Tonight we made some pretzels with white chocolate drizzle. They turned out fine, and they have a nice sweet and salty taste. The kids like them better than I do. A Twist on S'mores and Traditionsby Lauri Griffin04 Oct 2007 08:33 PMWhen we went camping last month, we brought along ingredients for s'mores. For my boys, it just wouldn't be camping without s'mores. I didn't grow up with s'mores. While we did roast marshmallows when we camped, I don't remember having s'mores until pre-teen slumber parties. What To Do With a Box of Food?by Lauri Griffin27 Sep 2007 04:15 PMLast week, our family got a produce box from SHARE Colorado. Their goal is to help families save money on their groceries while encouraging the building of relationships with their neighbors in the community. You don't have to be in any particular income category to participate. Pumpkin Pie - Welcoming the Change of Seasonby Lauri Griffin10 Sep 2007 05:27 PMRight this minute, I have a pumpkin pie cooling on my counter. And it smells wonderful. One of my sons loves pumpkin pie. It's his absolute favorite dessert. I've been promising him all summer to make one as soon as we had a cool day. Trail Mix Day Funby Lauri Griffin31 Aug 2007 09:52 AMToday is National Trail Mix Day. (Isn't it amazing how everything has a day?) Mixing up trail mix can be a fun thing to do with your children. It's also a great snack to bring along for Labor Day picnics and parties. Baked Potato Night - Cooking With Kidsby Lauri Griffin23 Jul 2007 03:52 PMMy husband is one of those rare people who don't like potatoes. He'll eat just about other vegetable, but except for french fries, he doesn't eat potatoes. My kids and I love potatoes any way they are made - boiled, baked, twice-baked, mashed, or creamed. Summer Slushie Funby Lauri Griffin30 Jun 2007 09:08 AMEven though my children love slushies I hesitate to buy them often because I cringe at wondering just what exactly is used to make blue raspberry flavor. I've never seen a blue raspberry, and I've never seen a natural food that glowed in almost florescent colors. But slushies are fun. Homemade Ice Cream Funby Lauri Griffin23 Jun 2007 12:25 PMLast weekend, we decided to buy an ice cream maker. In some ways, it seems kind of silly to go to the trouble of making homemade ice cream when the store probably carries a hundred different and delicious varieties. I just like the idea of occasionally making our own ice cream, though. Recent Blog Comments Michele Cheplic says...
