It is finally winter here! I mean, I know it has technically been winter for a couple of months now but we’ve been having abnormally warm temps up here in Maryland (and I’ve loved every minute of it!). Suddenly last week Winter realized it has been slacking and the cold windy days have begun. That means no more spending the day at the park on the weekends and more curling up on the couch with the kids and some popcorn for a movie night. [Read more…]

These Razzleberry Shortbread Bars are an easy way to turn pie into a cookie!
Every year when I’m planning my holiday dinners I think about just having a dessert party. I mean ham and mashed potatoes are great but you are fill up on them and don’t have enough room for the goodies at the end :(. A dessert party would be nothing but cookies, pies, and all sorts of sweet treats! I love the idea and this year I’m going to try it out! That week between Christmas and New Year’s when so many people are off of work and the kids are out of school, I’m hosting a little open house where people can stop by and have some pie.

Gotta keep the kids entertained over winter break so we’re throwing a Moose Munch Holiday Party!
The holidays go by so fast! I feel like we were just getting ready for Thanksgiving, and now we’re making shopping lists, and planning our Christmas dinners. Next thing you know it’ll be 2016 and spring will be just around the corner! Now that we are older and have families with small children celebrating the holidays means baking cookies with mom, holiday plays, and of course a long winter break from school. I don’t know about you but I’ve gotta have things planned for my kiddos or all of us get slightly stir crazy, so this year over the break we’re inviting a few of my son and daughter’s school friends over for a kid-friendly holiday party and I’ve got a few tips on how you can host your own Moose Munch Holiday Party.

A Simple Pear and Almond Appetizer for a Wine Tasting Party

We hosted our first Wine Tasting Party and we have some amazing wines and a delicious recipe for Pear and Almond Pastries for you to pair with them!
Well, it was bound to happen, Melinda and I are really grown-ups. That’s how I felt this weekend when we got together to host our first wine tasting party. Neither of us were big wine drinkers in our 20s but as we’ve gotten older our taste has improved and in the last year or so we have really gotten into tasting different wines to figure out what we like, and sometimes what we don’t. It’s always changing too. We both agree the more we try the more our appreciation of a good wine seems to grow. [Read more…]

Mad Scientist Party

We’ve got some creepy ideas and recipe for a Mad Scientist Party this Halloween!
It’s October which means Melinda and I have Halloween on the brain. This whole month is all about having fun decorating the house, cooking up new Halloween recipe ideas, Making cute Halloween crafts with the kids like this, and this, and shopping for that elusive “perfect” Halloween costume. Melinda just sent me a picture last night of her kids having fun trying on the costumes they picked out. Time to start practicing trick-or-treating! Halloween also means it is party time and I am so ready for this year’s Halloween party! I’m recycling one of my favorite themes: Mad Scientist Laboratory and I’m upping the ante this year because we’re going radioactive! I was inspired by the new Glow-in-the-Dark OREO packaging for the 2-packs of OREO cookies (handing these out for Halloween too!).
Game Day Chili Bar

On Game Day there is nothing better than a Chili Bar for feeding your hungry crowd at halftime.
Football season is about to begin and my husband already has all the important game days marked on the family calendar. We take that stuff pretty seriously around here! He tries to attend as many of the home games for his favorite team as he can, and when he can’t make it to the game we like to do a little homegating at our house. Have you heard of homegating? It’s like tailgating except you do it in your living room instead of the parking lot at the stadium! [Read more…]

Have you heard about The Disney Channel’s Original Movie, Descendants? My kids were the first ones to tell me about it. They LOVE the Disney Channel and they were so excited when they saw the commercial for it a few weeks ago. If you haven’t heard about it yet Descendants is about some of Disney’s favorite villains from Sleeping Beauty, Aladdin, 101 Dalmatians, & Snow White, and their children. I have to admit I was pretty excited to see it too! The premiere was on July 31st so I let the kids have a few of their friends over to watch it and you know that means I made snacks! [Read more…]

Host a “Take a Dip” Pool Party to say goodbye to summer before the kids head back to school.
It’s the end of July, which means that here in Maryland we have a little less than a month until school is back in session. It’s bittersweet for me. My son will be starting kindergarten this year! I’m so excited for him to start this new phase of his life, but I can’t help being a little sad that my baby is growing up so fast! We’re trying to soak up every last bit of fun the summer has left in it and I thought it would be fun to plan an end of summer, back to school, pool party with some simple recipes! [Read more…]
