Twist old treats into new holiday fun – Olive penguins with Santa hats
Now I’ve done the cheeseball igloo thing before.
But seeing Smockity Frocks update the little penguins with Christmas hats makes me want to try my hand at it again. They’re somehow even cuter all dressed up. I can picture the igloo with garland or a string of decorative lights. Maybe some rice krispy reindeer for dessert?
The wattle waddles…er, wobbles – Thanksgiving turkey cheeseball
That was one of my Thanksgiving dinner contributions.
I can’t even remember which cheeseball recipe I used, but it was delicious, rolled in a mix of chopped walnuts, almonds, and pecans. What? I couldn’t decide.
The wattle is made of a tiny piece of spaghetti, soaked in red food coloring. The neck and head piece are from a Slim Jim that I forced to hold its shape with a clip for a while.
The beak is a bit of cream cheese colored yellow, and the eyes are the same concept. I did my icing with the tiny corners of ziploc bags like this:
And the tailfeathers? They’re a combination of pretzel sticks in the front and larger sesame sticks in the back row. By the end, only a few tail feathers remained, and even those didn’t make it through the night. Delicious.
Toddler makes cheesecake look as easy as…pie? Woo!
If you haven’t already seen this, you’ve gotta watch it. It’s of a 2 year old making cheesecake.
Sure, it’s cute and all because most little kids doing just about anything can end up being “cute,” but I surprised myself by actually laughing out loud at around the 2:14 mark when she cracks open the second egg. Too funny, haha.
