Finding Dory Homemade Squirt Playdough

Pin to Pinterest

Who doesn’t love Finding Nemo or Finding Dory. These are two popular movies in our home and we are a bit obsessed. In an effort to work on our Summer Bucket List this summer, we wanted to tackle this fun Finding Dory Homemade Squirt Playdough.

Supplies Needed:

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl mix the flour, salt, oil, and cold water together. You will notice the ingredients begin to clump up. Continue mixing until a soft dough forms.
  2. Because you are using less salt than most play dough recipes, you will notice that the dough stays clumpy. This is what will give it the coral effect. If you wish for smoother dough, add an extra ¼ cup of salt.
  3. Add 2-3 drops of food coloring to the dough. Continue to knead the dough until the color spreads to your liking.
  4. Finish off your dough by adding an optional sprinkle of glitter.Your coral play dough can now be enjoyed. When not in use, place it in an airtight container. It should last for several weeks as long as it doesn’t have the chance to dry out.

Star Wars Droid Quesadillas on Frugal Coupon Living

Star Wars BB-8 Droid Quesadillas

Pin to Pinterest

Awaken your little Jedi’s taste buds with this Droid Quesadilla! Total comfort food from such simple ingredients in the shape of your favorite droid. Imagine the smiles when their lunchbox opens to find this. Add a clever touch to a Star Wars birthday party by making a tray full of these to enjoy! May the force be with you.

Ingredients:

  • 2 flour tortillas (soft taco size)
  • 2 oz softened cream cheese
  • 2 cheddar cheese sandwich slices
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • black food coloring

Additionally you will need a  white wine glass, pairing knife and ziplock bag.


Directions:

  1. In a small bowl, mix your softened cream cheese with a dab of black food coloring until you get a silver grey color.
  2. Turn a ziplock bag inside out over your hand and scoop up the silver cream cheese reserving a small amount in the bowl.
  3. Turn the bag right side in and press the cream cheese mixture into one corner of the bag.
  4. With a sharp knife, cut the corner of the sandwich bag off so that you have a small hole from which you can pipe the cream cheese. The smaller the better.
  5. Add more black food coloring to the reserved silver grey cream cheese until you get a jet black color.

For the body:

  1. Take one cheddar cheese slice and place it on a cutting board. Invert your wine glass and use it to cut a solid circle in the center of the slice.
  2. Take that solid circle of cheese and with a pairing knife freehand another small circle in the center. It should now look like a cheese doughnut.
  3. With your pairing knife, cut four concentric sections from the inside hole leaving four small interior spokes. This will form the center mechanism of your droid’s body.
  4. Take your other slice of cheddar cheese and place it on the cutting board. Invert your wine glass and use it to cut a solid circle in the center of the second slice.
  5. Take that second solid circle of cheese and with a pairing knife cut it into four equal pie pieces.
  6. With your pairing knife, cut the rounded edge of each pie piece forming four equal quarter rounds, about the same thickness of your center mechanism piece. These will form the four side pieces of your droid’s body.

For the head:

  1. Take the remainder of one cheddar cheese slice and with your pairing knife cut a section from around the edge of the rounded hole for the droid’s head stripe. This should be about a quarter inch in width.
  2. From the remainder of the other cheese slice cut various size squares and rectangles to attach as decorative pieces along the bottom grey head stripe.
  3. Cut your second flour tortilla in half across the diameter.
  4. With your knife cut the corners of the tortilla to round them up a bit.
  5. Cut one of the scrap pieces of tortilla to form the antenna that will go on top of the droid’s head.

Assembly:

  1. Place your droid’s round quesadilla body on a microwave safe plate.
  2. Sprinkle with 2/3 of the Mexican cheese blend.
  3. Top shredded cheese with the other round tortilla.
  4. Microwave for one minute.
  5. Repeat this process with the droid’s tortilla head. You should now have two cheese quesadillas.
  6. Place all cheddar cheese sliced pieces on your BB-8 Droid as pictured and pipe silver grey cream cheese in areas shown.
  7. With the tip of your knife, place a small dab of black cream cheese on your droids head and an even smaller dab below and to the right of it as shown.
  8. Pipe a silver rim around the smaller dot of black cream cheese.
  9. Place your droid’s head on its body and top with the tortilla antenna piece.

Enjoy!

The slightly crunchy outside wrapped around a soft, tangy, almost melted banana. It’s true comfort food. This version gives it a sweet twist that is perfect as a treat for after your meal. We might suggest you play with the recipe adding brown sugar or cinnamon – so many flavors you can consider blending. Serve with caramel sauce, chocolate sauce or ice cream. Your family will love them!

  • 3 Bananas
  • 1 cup Pancake Mix
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
  • Vegetable Oil (for frying)

Directions:

  1. Slice bananas into 1/2″ slices.
  2. Combine pancake mix, milk and egg. Beat until blended.
  3. Line a plate with paper towels. Set aside.
  4. FIll a pan with oil 1/2″ deep and heat to 350 to 375 degrees.
  5. Dip each banana slice in batter and allow excess to drip off.
  6. Place in oil and fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Chocolate Dipped Cookie Dough Bites

I am incredibly guilty. If there was a self-help group for eating chunks of cookie dough, I would be a member.  This yummy recipe includes a few of my favorites in chocolate chip cookies – brown sugar, butter, vanilla and NO EGGS! You will be happy to delcare this as your family’s favorite cookie recipe!

Note: For Easter, we shapped these into Eggs!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2/3 cup Flour
  • 1/4 cup Chocolate Chips
  • 4 tbsp softened Butter
  • 2 tbsp Milk
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla
  • 8 oz Chocolate Dipping Candy

Directions:

  1. Line a tray with parchment or wax paper.
  2. Heat flour in microwave for 2 minutes (internal temp 160). Careful you do not burn it.
  3. Mix together brown sugar, butter, vanilla and salt until well mixed.
  4. Add in milk and gradually add flour until desired dough consistensy is reached.
  5. Stir in chocolate chips.
  6. For Easter, we chose to form these into egg shapes (you can do another shape like circles.)
  7. Place in freezer for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Melt chocolate by microwaving for 30 seconds, stirring and repeating until melted and smooth.
  9. Use a fork to dip each egg into chocolate, shake off excess and place on prepared tray.
  10. Place in refrigerator until chocolate sets.

This yields about 15 smaller bites or 8 larger ones.
