I don't have any kids of my own yet. Hopefully someday but I do babysit all the time.
One of my favorite fall treats is carmel apples with homemade carmel. I cook most often with my friends two daughters an 11 years and a 7 year old. The older one stirs while the younger one & I put sticks in apples, roll out the wax paper, and put down the pre-crushed peanuts. I enlist the help of the girls' 13 years old brother to dip the apples and we all have a great time rolling them in peanuts. (Even the sometimes grouchy teenager. lol!!!)
I don't have kids of my own yet either, but with everyone else's kids I make Halloween cupcakes. Spider cupcakes-black frosting, pieces of black licorice sticking out as legs, candy eyes Graveyard cupcakes-brown frosting, wafer cookie set into the frosting, with RIP piped onto it so it looks like a headstone sticking out of the dirt
This has been really fun for me to find a place to talk recipes and ideas with other girls. I live in a very isolated area on a farm that's about an hour from anywhere. I actually live in a place called Possum Holler. lol! I usually only see folks on the weekends so it's wonderful to have a place like this to talk about recipes & such during the week. :)
