Stay Cool Valentine… You’re Fantastic {Classroom Valentines}

By: Freetimefrolics

Last summer my husband went to Taiwan for a business trip.  He brought back my daughter a beautiful fan.  She loved to play with it.  Because of where it came from and the money it cost I wanted her to keep it nice.  But she insisted on playing with it.  Until I found these cheap fans at Zurchers.  So I bought a bag for $2 and let her play to her hearts content.
Now it’s Valentines season and I though they might be a fun thing to give to her little girl friends at school for her Valentine.  So I made this easy printable to tie to them.  Because every little girl needs a fan, right?

How to make The Perfect Whipped Cream

By: Freetimefrolics

As a little girl my granny always made homemade whipped cream.  I really didn’t even know about artificial whip topping. Fast forward to my engagement.  For my very first Thanksgiving away from home, my husband and I ate at his parent house.  When they pulled out the pie the family threw a tub of artificial whip topping on the table.  Now I am not opposed to this stuff but on Thanksgiving the real stuff is in order, Right? When I asked for whip cream they replied  its on the table.  I died a little inside.  Pumpkin pie should only be served with REAL whipped cream.
Fast forward to today.  I decided that it was time to share a few tips for amazing Whipped Cream. Just like grandma makes.

Let it Snow…Snowballs Recipe and Blog Hop

By: Freetimefrolics

I have teamed up today for our monthly blog hop to share with you a little snow.
So way back when I was a little sprout my grandma use to make these yummy little desserts every Christmas.  She made dozens of them and delivered them to here neighbors and family.  I loved them.  And then I grew up and life happened and she stopped making them.   So about 8 years ago I asked every member of my extended family what there favorite “grandma” recipes were.  You know you all have those favorite recipes that Grandmas makes, right? Well the Snowball recipe was revived. I compiled the recipes and made a cook book of all grannies recipes. Each m;ember of my family has a cookbook.  Most of them still use the cookbook at least once a week.
So move forward 8 years, I am finally getting around to making these yummy little treats!  They truly are to die for.  My cute little neighbor calls them Hawaiian Snowballs.  They are delicious!  Check out my post on how to make these for your next party or just because they are so good.

Homemade chicken rice soup recipe www.freetimefrolics.com

Here in Idaho winter has rolled in.  We were blessed this November to have mild weather.  But December is already proving to be cold and blistery.  I love snuggling down with a hot bowl of soup on a cold day.  I made Chicken and Rice soup the other day and my kids loved it.(it is hard to please 4 kids some days)  So today I am sharing my recipe for Chicken and Rice Soup.

 Homemade Chicken and Rice Soup Recipe

4 T. Chicken Bullion
5 C. Water
1/2 C. Celery, Chopped
1 C. carrots (chopped or grated)
1/4 C. onion
2 t. parsley
1 C. diced chicken (cooked)
2 C. rice ***
Combine all ingredients except chicken.  Simmer until rice is soft.  Add cooked chicken.  Simmer for 10 more minutes and Enjoy.
***Minute rice will cook faster but you can use brown rice or other kind and simmer according to the rice directions.  Also add more water for absorbtion if using any rice other than minute rice
This is the perfect recipe for a cold Blistery day, flu season or to enjoy on a lazy day!

Anthropologie {Knock Off Skirt} Tutorial

By: Freetimefrolics

While searching for a skirt to make for a client I came across this skirt from Anthropologie.

The original skirt is over $100.  Not really in the price range. She also wanted white lace instead of black. So it was my job to recreate it.  I love the classy look with a feminine touch of lace.

Chubby Hubby Mousse Bites

By: Freetimefrolics

I love Chocolate, peanut butter and pretzels together. Don’t you?  So I took a recipe from last year  (Mousse Balls) and added a little twist!  These yummy Chubby Hubby Mousse Bites are to die for. You can ask my Fitness friend Andie from Maybe I Will.  She ate two of them.  And that is saying a lot from someone who works out twice a day and is a super health nut!  Make up a quick batch and take them to neighbors.  I promise you will be asked for this recipe!
