*#* #FIREWORKS *#*

Our  4th was full of Fussball Food and Fireworks!


It happens to be my Oma's birthday too so our family get's together with her in the after noon. This year it was all about World Cup though--They are from Germany so the noon game took over.

After Germany WON the kids decided to play a bit--the flower fountain in the middle of the yard adds a nice challenge LOL




Then after a great BBQ it was time to head back to our neighbourhood...so we could walk up to the TownPark for the FireWorks Show.

LOL it got cut out of this collage but my daughter was snapping 

a selfie the same tie I was getting a group shot! 

Our town always puts a good show on---This years they added about another 10 minutes. Sounded good--but towards the end there was so much smoke we barely could see the lower fireworks just a lot of loud *BOOM* BOOM *BOOMS!! One little boy setting near us was yelling "Their lighting up the sky" after a long row of them. A girl on the other side " WOW that was scary--DO IT AGAIN!!!" LOL

HOPE YOUR DAY WAS FULL OF FUN TOO!!!

We all could use a lower calorie dessert or snack option. Using Fiber One Streusel Bars, that's a total possibility, either eating it just out of the package, or creating a streusel hack recipe. It's such simple twist making a semi homemade dessert and takes a fraction of the time compared to a regular recipe.

GONE FISHING!!!!

Beach Bag Must-Haves! EZ Squeezes are a MUST!

 The weather’s heating up and families across the country will be heading to pool parties or

  the shoreline to cool off this summer! I thought it might be interesting  doing a 

 "Beach Bag Must-Haves!" series. 

 Now you have to ALWAYS have some basic essentials like suit, towels, sunscreen, but what

 about the extras??

With the holiday weekend many of us might be planning a family road trip.  We often find ourselves compromising on nutrition and paying an extortionate amount for the convenience of prepackaged purees for our toddlers on the go.   NOT ANY MORE!


EZ Squeezees are washable, refillable, easily packable food pouches that are perfect for taking your own healthy snacks out to the beach.  They are also wonderful on a family road trip, or wherever your adventures take you. Because they’re reusable, they’re also eco-friendly and far more cost effective than store bought, single-use squeezable snacks.

Also if there issues are from a food allergy or simply someone who wants try to stay healthy with programs such as Paleo, Atkins, Vegan or  Gluten-Free, finding food to fit these sorts of lifestyles can be near impossible when on-the-go, and EZ Squeezees can be of help.
 



EZ Squeezees sell for $6.99 for a 3-pack, you will save so much cash in the long run-worth investing in a few packs. If your making your own food you do it in large batches so  fill them up for the week freeze and thaw as need.

Check out this recipe and my success with it! The EZ Squeezees reusable food pouches open on the side and make it convenient to fill. You can do it using a spoon, or use a funnel or to pour it in straight from the blender. 

 

Set in fridge or freezer EZ!!!

Easy Recipe for 4th of July BBQ-- Mini Cheesecakes

I'm thinking of making these for the 4th. Great twist is to throw a few Blueberries on top too. Sponsored post #PlateFullCoOp

Easy Recipe-- Mini Cheesecakes

If you love cheesecake, are pressed for time or feel like you are a baking-dummy, this recipe is for you. It requires so few ingredients and bakes up in just 20 minutes.

Ingredients:
2 8-ounce packs of cream cheese, softened
2 large eggs
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla or almond extract
12 vanilla wafers
Fresh fruit or topping of your choice

To make:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tins with 12 paper cups and place one vanilla wafer in the bottom of each cup. Blend cream cheese with a hand mixer until fluffy. Add sugar and beat until mixed. Add eggs, one at a time until well incorporated and then vanilla extract. Fill each cup with cheesecake mixture. Bake for 20 minutes and let sit out on a cooling rack in the muffin pan for about 20-30 minutes. Transfer pans in to refrigerator and chill for a minimum of 2 hours. Overnight is best.
