A shirt refashion for the Peanut

One of my little Peanut's shirts was getting too short so it was time to make it into something useful for summer! I cut the long sleeves off and added some fabric to make this sweet little summer dress!



This great project cost me less than $5, can't beat that for a new little dress!

Oreo Cheesecake

It has been rainy and cold which is not our typical weather in May and June. Unfortunately I seem to be able to find comfort in many sweet desserts and this one is great! I guess I will be running a few extra miles next week, but it was worth every bite!



What You Need:

1 pkg. (16.6 oz.) OREO Cookies, divided
1/4 cup butter, melted
4 pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed

Make It:


CHOP 15 cookies coarsely. Finely crush remaining cookies; mix with butter. Press onto bottom of 13x9-inch pan. Refrigerate while preparing filling.

BEAT cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in large bowl with mixer until well blended. Gently stir in COOL WHIP and chopped cookies; spread onto crust.

REFRIGERATE 4 hours or until firm.

This is so easy and yummy, luckily the sun it out today so hopefully I won't have to result to eating more sweets, then again a little won't hurt, Right??

Summer Vacation is just one meeting away!!

I'm counting down the hours till my summer vacation officially begins. Yesterday was the last day of school and all the students are home most likely still in bed and yet my job is still not done. I'm heading back to work today for one last teacher in-service training of the year! Yes, I wish I was home today have a picnic with my little peanut, playing on the tire swing, or taking a trip to the park but I guess that will have to wait one more day!! I'm so excited to be home with my little peanut and finally have some time to get started on my craft "to-do" list! So I guess I will have to wait another 9 hours before my official summer vacation begins!!

Here are just a few of the items on my "to-do" list, what do you have on your list?

Tasty Tuesday~ Sweet Chicken Kabobs

I love summer time for so many reasons and bbq'in is one of them! I would have to say that these sweet chicken Kabobs are one of my favorite grilling recipes.



What You Need:

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (1-1/2 inch)
1 each red and green pepper, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup KRAFT Original Barbecue Sauce
3 Tbsp. frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed

Make It:

HEAT grill to medium-high heat.

THREAD chicken alternately with pineapple and peppers onto 8 long wooden skewers, using 2 skewers placed side-by-side for each kabob.

MIX barbecue sauce and juice concentrate; brush half evenly onto kabobs.

GRILL 8 to 10 min. or until chicken is done, turning and brushing occasionally with remaining sauce.
