Happy Easter Printable

Do you hold any Easter traditions? While the story of Christ dying on the cross and rising on the third day is not new to my kids, it’s a good time to reflect on how truly miraculous our God is. Easter eggs and bunnies are fun, but there are other ways to instill Easter traditions with your kids. One of our very popular posts, is Christian Easter Crafts featuring Resurrection Eggs, Gardens, and Rolls. This post has some of the most crafty ways to tell the story of Jesus’s death and Resurrection, each providing the final story of an empty tomb.

When decorating around the house, we also wanted to provide you with something fun. I love having an 8×10 frame around the home that can easily be changed out with the seasons. If you have that frame or you want to start the idea, print out our Happy Easter printable with this adorable Easter Bunny with a Bow.

We keep our bunny displayed in the foyer by the front door greeting everyone who visits.

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

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

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

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!

Strawberry Salsa Recipe – Beach Friendly Food

June 1, 2019 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Recipe, Social Media, Summer

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

How to Make An Easy Marshmallow Shooter

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

May 26, 2019 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Crafts, DIY, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Social Media, Summer

This July Fourth, make sure to add this Easy Marshmallow Shooter to your list of activities for the kids. This DIY Marshmallow Launcher combines a cup, a balloon and many laughs.

Easy Marshmallow Shooter

For obvious reasons, the Fourth of July is always big in our home location of Washington, D.C. Since having the younger kids, however, we do not always get out together in the evening for the big fire works. One of us goes leaving the other home with the kids. It’s a balance as finding a babysitter on July 4th isn’t really an option. Every time it is my turn to get out with the kids, I get tears in my eyes. Nothing makes you more patriotic than watching fireworks with the National Monument(s) in the background. The years that I stay home with the younger kids, however, the warm feeling of the holiday disappears. It’s just another “day.” To involve the younger kids this year, and still have some holiday fun at home, we created these Marshmallows Shooters.

Add this to your list of Summer Bucket Items and Upcycled Crafts. All it takes is a toilet paper roll, scrap paper and a balloon. Of course you will need marshmallows, use the extra marshmallows to create these Seasonal Rice Krispies Treats.

Marshmallow Launcher Supplies:

Toilet paper rolls
Scrapbook paper (we used red and white stripe)
Balloons (we used blue)
Rubber bands
Glue stick
Marshmallows

Each toilet paper roll and balloon makes one shooter.

To create these shooters honestly takes a matter of minutes. The hardest part is getting the perfect cut of scrap paper and gluing it on the toilet paper roll!

Easy Marshmallow Shooter Directions:

First, cut the striped scrapbook paper to fit around the toilet paper roll and glue into place.

Tie a knot in the bottom of a balloon (not inflated).

Next, cut off the top (round part) off the balloon.

Wrap the open end of the balloon around the bottom of the toilet paper roll and secure with a rubber band.

To use, place a marshmallow in the shooter and pull the knotted end back. Let go of the balloon to shoot the marshmallow out.
