Munch a bunch of bird nest!

I wanted to share a really yummy and easy recipe with you all. Ya know I have looked all over blog land and there are some good recipes to try out. However I must say, I still think that this is the best. Well I should say this is my favorite. They go together lickety split.

Don't they look yummy!

Combine in a bowl:

3 cups crispy rice cereal

1 cup shredded coconut

Mix and bring just to a boil while stirring:

1/3 cup light corn syrup

1/2 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

Remove from heat. Stir in the cereal and coconut. Let it cool, then shape into nest using your fingers.

Fill with jell beans. This should make about 12 or so. You don't want them to big.

That's is! I told you it was easy.

I bags a few and tied with twine for some friends.

I first made this for my oldest son's class when he was in pre-school.

That was twenty years ago. (Oops! I'm really not that old.)

All my kids still like it. I made some last weekend and they were gone in two days!

I hope you enjoy the treat!

Thanks for stopping by!

Spring Trees

I have been seeing several cute egg trees lately. In the past I always put up seasonal decorations but in past few years I've gotten out of the habit. Well I thought this would be a cute idea for my kidos at school. I think we might ever have an egg coloring contest. Anyway...this weekend I snipped some twigs from tree in my back yard. You should have seen me. I was in my cut off sweet pants that have paint all over them and a shirt that was just scary! Well naturally when you look

your worst is when I get to see my neighbors. I can go for weeks and not see a single neighbor. But the day I look like crap, well you know....

I sprayed the branches with grey paint. (It was the only spray paint I had except black.)

Then I found my Easter stash of plastic eggs. I thought I would be doing this myself but my daughter jumped right in. She loves to help mom decorate.

I think It's kinda cute.

Now I need to make another one to take to school. Not sure what container I will use. Don't want it to get knocked over and broken and with twenty two kids that could happen.

Last but not least... My pink dogwood is blooning!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week.
