Homemade French Dressing

Posted on April 28, 2013 by Kim

I love French dressing. I’m very picky about which brands I purchase and whether I get it at restaurants when I order a salad. Most of the time, I end up going with another dressing because I don’t like how the kind at the restaurant tastes.

Well, I have a homemade recipe that in my family we call “Shane’s French Dressing.” So there you go, bro, you got the credit for this awesome recipe. I made some tonight and felt giddy when I tested it. I’m lucky it was dinnertime because I couldn’t wait to eat it. I love it when I crave this dressing and realize I always have all the ingredients in my kitchen already.

Here is what you need:

1 & 1/4 C. vegetable oil
3/4 C. white vinegar
1 C. sugar
10 oz. can of condensed tomato soup (do not add water)
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
3 tsp. onion powder (I ran out one time and ended up using 1 tsp. of onion powder and 2 T. chopped sweet onion)
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. mustard (or dry mustard…I’ve used both before and the result is equally delicious)

Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and beat with a hand mixer or do what I do and add it all to a blender.

Makes approximately 32 servings (2 T. = 1 serving). Approximately 106 calories per serving.

ENJOY!

Super WHY! LIVE was fun, educational and interactive!

Posted on April 28, 2013 by Kim

Super WHY! Live will stop in 27 cities across the U.S. in April and May, taking kids and parents on a live reading adventure traveling inside a book to find the answer to the question, “Who has the Greatest Super Power in the World?”

We had the extraordinary opportunity to see the show when it stopped in Pittsburgh. Check out my kids before the show began. They were so excited!

The show is very entertaining and educational. It features Alpha Pig with “Alphabet Power,” Wonder Red with “Word Power,” Princess Presto with “Spelling Power,” Super Why with the “Power to Read,” and their puppy pal Woofster.

Look at my kids’ faces during the show while it captured their attention…priceless. (*Disclaimer: my kids do NOT show a lot of emotion when watching something they like so to see them just staring at the stage and in awe of the show was pure enjoyment to me…lol.)

The story line was very cool and interactive as well. They really got the kids in the audience involved in the show. *Small spoiler alert* My kids and the others in the audience would probably tell you that one of the highlights of the show were the Continue reading →

Your child can make a recycled bird feeder

Posted on April 27, 2013 by Kim

This bird feeder is so cute! A huge “thank you” to my friend Megan who let me use the craft she made with her son. I think it was such a great idea to recycle to make useful crafts. She said that the birds found the feeder within 10 minutes of hanging it up! That’s awesome! When placed in the perfect spot it also serves as entertainment for the kids!

To see what she did to make this with her young son, go to my full article here.

Get $125 off a two week session at Falcon Camp!

Posted on April 2, 2013 by Kim

Fun for Now, Skills for Life Widely recognized throughout the Midwest as Ohio’s premier summer camp since 1959, Falcon Camp offers a beautiful lakefront setting, talented experienced staff, and a wide range of activities. “Fun for Now, Skills for Life” is not just a catchy motto but truly defines what Falcon is about.

Falcon Camp

Camp is designed for boys and girls ages 6 – 16 in 2,4,6 or 8 week sessions. Each day campers choose their own schedule within a general framework. Daily activities are separate for boys and girls with planned coed events. Riding, sailing, swimming, riflery, crafts, tennis, drama, archery, mountain biking and so many more activities are offered. Instruction from beginner to advanced is offered in each activity.

We have a strong reputation for making sure a camper’s first overnight experience is very positive. Our non-competitive environment is inviting to campers who may be hesitant to try something they have never done before, while our awards system challenges our most experienced campers. The 1:4 staff/camper ratio allows individual instruction and attention. Most of all it’s great fun!

Falcon also has a special Young Adventure program for campers ages 6 -9. These one week intro sessions are designed for first time campers. ACA accredited, many NE Ohio references are available along with campers from all over the United States and the world. Being so close to several major cities allows families to visit beforehand, meet staff and feel “at home” prior to attending. Falcon is an outstanding opportunity for fun and learning.

A summer at Falcon is a special experience where good things happen by design. Visit our website, www.falconcamp.com, call 800/837-CAMP or email Info@FalconCamp.com for more information. Located on Leesville Lake in Carrollton, Ohio.
