Adorable Artist Paint Palette Cookies with free printable gift tag – Thank you for coloring my world! Sweet treat idea and thank you for a teacher or use as a birthday party favor.  So many ideas for your little artist!

Artist Paint Palette Cookies with Gift Tag

Artist Paint Palette Cookies

We have the cutest, most easiest cookies for your little artist! First, this recipe requires no baking, just pick up sugar cookies at your local grocery store. Of course if you want a yummy sugar cookie recipe, we have one of those too! You will need some black Licorice Twizzlers Twists. If you have trouble finding those, we found some online. This will make the bristle of the brush and Air Heads will make your paint brush stick.

We also put together a sweet “thank you for coloring my world” gift tag. This free printable makes a sweet end of the year gift for a teacher or perhaps use as a birthday party favor for an artist paint birthday party!

Artist Paint Palette Cupcakes

Ingredients:

  • 8 Sugar Cookies, prepared
  • 1 Container White Frosting
  • 1 Piece Black Licorice Twist
  • 2 Orange Airheads Candy
  • 2 Cherry Airheads Candy
  • 1 White Mystery Airheads Candy
  • Food Coloring—red, orange, yellow, green blue
  • Frosting Piping Bags


Artist Paint Palette Cookies In process

Directions:

  1. Take each orange and cherry Airheads candy and cut them in half. Cut each of the halves in half lengthwise so you now have 4 pieces of each flavor. Roll each piece into a paintbrush shape.
  2. Cut ½” pieces of the black licorice. Slice each one open so it isn’t a tube shape. Lay each piece out and cut them each in half. Lay one piece of licorice over the end of each paintbrush.
  3. Cut small thin rectangular pieces of the white Airheads candy. Wrap one of these around the seam where the licorice is laying on the paintbrush. Make sure you wrap them tight, so the paintbrush and licorice bristles don’t come apart.
  4. Divide the frosting into 5 small bowls and color each frosting bowl a different color. You can put each color frosting into a small plastic bag for piping if you choose to, or just use a knife to dollop.
  5. Cut out a small hole in the bottom half of each cookie so it looks like the hole on a paint board palette.
  6. Pipe a dot of each color frosting along the top half edge of each cookie.
  7. Use a dot of frosting to attach a paintbrush on top each cookie.
  8. These little paint palettes are cute and easy to make for any party!

Weight Watchers® Recipes and Their Point Values

Pin to Pinterest

I first joined Weight Watchers® when I was in college.  While it’s been awhile, since that time, the points (and how many I should have daily) hasn’t left my mind or my habits.

Did you know that toward the end of 2015, WW changed their point system. While both are still used interchangeably on the the web, SmartPoints® (SP) has replaced what we formerly know as Weight Watcher PointsPlus® (P+). What’s the difference? Well PointsPlus® was about limiting your points. That meant you could have 3 Snickers Bars and call it a day meeting your quota exactly. Smart Points focuses on the eating lifestyle and habits taking in to consideration things like proteins, sugar, saturated fats, starches, etc. This allows members to really think about what they are eating and making better choices over calorie counting.

Below are a list of some exciting recipes. Some take into account both P+ and SP while others still use calculations based on the old P+ system. Happy eating!

Rainbow Chia Pudding Parfait

Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pint of fresh ripe raspberries
  • mandarin oranges
  • 1 banana
  • 2 large kiwis
  • 1 pint of fresh blueberries
  • 1 pint of fresh blackberries
  • 2 cups of chia seeds
  • 4 cups of soy milk (you can use almond or whole milk if preferred)
  • Stevia
  • honey

Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix the chia seeds with the milk, and 2 tablespoons of honey, cover and place in the refrigerator. If the chia pudding is too thick, add a little more milk to thin.

Rinse your raspberries, blackberries and blueberries and lay on paper towels to dry.

Rinse the kiwi, dry with a paper towel. Remove your skin and slice the kiwi into a bowl, and set aside.

Wash the Blueberries, and the blackberries, and place on paper towels to dry.

Remove the pudding from the refrigerator and separate your pudding into six different dishes/bowls to make your six different colors (pink, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple) and flavors.

In your first dish, add half the raspberries to the pudding, sprinkle with a teaspoon of Stevia, and smash them into the chia pudding, turning it bright pink.

In your second dish, place half of the Mandarin oranges in the bowl, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of Stevia and mash the oranges into the pudding, which will turn the pudding a light orange color.

In the third bowl, mash your pudding, the banana and natural yellow coloring.

In your fourth bowl, mix several slices of kiwi, and mash them into the pudding for a green color.

In your last bowl, add the blackberries, and mash them into the pudding, saving a few blackberries for your toppings.

In the last bowl, mash half the blueberries into the pudding for a blue coloring.

Place the pudding evenly in a larger mason jar, starting with the blueberry, followed by the blackberry, kiwi, banana, orange, and raspberry layers.

Finally, top with raspberries and blackberries, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Enjoy.


Notes

I use colors from nature to color each layer of chia pudding to add vibrant color. Have that on hand if you want the bright coloring. For the purple layer, I used pink and blue color, mixed with blackberries to make the purple coloring. For the other colors, pink is raspberry, orange is orange fruit, yellow is banana, green is kiwi, blue is blueberry.

Easy Crab Ham and Cheese Sandwiches for Kids Party. These buttery croissants make the most adorable crustacean for a family dinner or create a tasty party recipe perfect for a beach tablescape.

Crab Sandwiches for Kids Party

So no Beach Parties here but I love to have fun with my sandwiches for the kids, especially the younger kids. It makes dinner fun and also encourages them to eat more. You know, a win-win. One item that I always have on hand in my home, are Candy Eyes. They have so many resourceful uses. We have made endless recipes with them. Sometimes my kids just add them to break and bake cookies. Grab a few. They are cheapest on Amazon.

Perhaps you are making more than just your family’s dinner. If hosting your own celebration, we suggest pairing these sandwiches with our crab cupcakes!  And for more inspiring ideas, see all of our Beach Inspired Party Ideas.

This recipe has your classic ingredients – ham and cheese. We bought pre-made croissants. I suggest getting the jumbo kind. You will need candy eyes and toothpicks and a creative item to stick the eyes. We used mustard but gave you a few other options.

Crab Ham and Cheese Sandwiches Supplies:

  • Croissants
  • Ham
  • Cheese
  • Mustard
  • Candy Eyes
  • Tooth Picks
  • Optional: Fondant, peanut butter, honey or white chocolate melts

Ingredients

  • Croissants
  • Ham
  • Cheese
  • Mustard
  • Candy Eyes
  • Tooth Picks
  • Optional: Fondant, peanut butter, honey or white chocolate melts

Instructions

Start by prepping your eyes.  Take two candy eyes and place a dot of mustard on the backs.

Lay toothpicks on the mustard and allow to dry and stick some.*

Slice your croissants to almost the opposite end, but stop slicing so the end of the croissant is still attached.

Add a thin layer of mustard to the bottom layer.

Place your ham & cheese inside the croissant. I like to fold the ham so that you get more than a thin slice when you bite.

If you want melted sandwiches, pre-heat your oven to 350. Lay down parchment paper on a cookie sheet and lay your sandwiches on the tray.

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for 5 to 8 minutes.

Now take your eye toothpicks and poke two into each ham and cheese croissant sandwich. You will want to place the toothpicks at an angle so your candy eyes are are laying back.  Less chance of the candy eyes moving!

Serve & enjoy!

*Candy Eye Hack: Other options for getting your eyes to stock to the toothpicks are peanut butter, honey, fondant or melted white chocolate.

This Strawberry Salsa Recipe is a beach friendly food perfect for everyone. It is such a beach snack crowd favorite, you will be traditionally making it every trip to the sand and sun. Serve in the beach house or out by the waves.

Strawberry Salsa Recipe

If there is anything about the beach this native Floridian knows, it the fact that the sand and sun makes you famished.  Having food while on the beach saves you from trips back and forth to the car and/or house. Who wants the constant need to get up, wrangle the kids, and packing up the valuables. I also find, there is nothing better than the sand, sun, breeze, an umbrella and a good drink and snack in my lap.  Actually, get this for your drink (no bueno in your lap!) This Strawberry Salsa Recipe is the best Beach Friendly Food.

Also check out our other beach friendly food recipes – Seasoned Oyster Crackers. We bet they go fast!

Perfect for summer, this Strawberry Mango Salsa is a crowd pleaser so double the recipe or even triple it. Great with tortilla chips but also consider  serving with cinnamon pita chips as a dessert!

Strawberry Salsa Ingredients:

  • 1 pint strawberries
  • 1 large mango
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 minced red onion
  • 1 minced jalapeno
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 tbsp honey
