4th of July sweets & treats

If you've been following my blog for some time, you'll know that I love a good snack on a stick.  Put berries on a plate?  Your toddler will surely say "I'm full.  I want something from the fun drawer" (that's where we store the not-so-healthy snacks).  But put berries on a stick and you got a toddler who will devour 5 of them and asking for more.

No snack is complete without a counting lesson.

And she did that all on her own.

That's some good training there ;)

As always they were hit....after I repeatedly told her to get the sharp end of the stick out of her mouth.

Here's another fun & yummy treat for the holidays.  

The corny name?  All the credit goes to my hubby for that one.

Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1. Make brownies according to the directions on the box.
