Peanut Butter Play-Doh

What better way to fix a rainy day than by making some edible peanut butter play-doh? The kiddos loved being able to help mix up a quick batch of play doh and were even more ecstatic that they could eat it! I've come across multiple recipes and while they all taste great, a lot of them used some form of oil and I found that the kids (and tables, chairs and anything else they managed to touch before I was able to chase them down and wipe them clean) got waaaay too greasy. This recipe from Kids Activities Blog is not messy at all and only has 3 ingredients!

Here's the recipe: 

• 3 Marshmallows (or roughly 1/4- 1/2 cup of mini marshmallows, I eyeballed it)
• 2 Tablespoons Peanut Butter
• Powdered Sugar

Microwave the marshmallows and peanut butter in a bowl for about 10 seconds. Everything should be soft enough to easily mix together (if not microwave for a few more seconds). Once the peanut butter and marshmallows are completely mixed, sprinkle a little powdered sugar in. I eyeballed this too and only added about a teaspoon or so until the mix was no longer sticky.

M & BB loved it, although I think they ate more than they played with it.  :)

Snow Day!

I don't know about you, but we are in the middle of a nor'easter here in Pennsylvania and what better way to enjoy it then by baking? I don't usually plug about my side business as a Tastefully Simple consultant but the kids really enjoy being able to help make all the delicious treats - and they couldn't be more simple - each product only requires 2 ingredients or less to make!!!

We started off by making Multi-Grain Beer Bread. M had a blast mixing the batter together. It only takes one 12oz can of beer or any carbonated beverage and that's it! Mix and bake and you're done! Next we mixed up some Fiesta Party Dip Mix. Some sour cream, mayonnaise and the mix - stir together and refrigerate while the bread is baking. Snack time was a hit!

We rounded off our day with the best boredom buster around - play doh! Hope everyone stays warm and safe while the foot of snow we already have continues to grow (at 2" per hour!!!) We'll be staying bundled up in front of the fire having a movie marathon! :)
