    • How to throw a kid's party and not clean your house

      By ShiningLight | Work + Money – Wed, Sep 16, 2009 3:50 AM EDT

      We had a party, everyone had a great time, and we did not clean the house. We did not spend hours dusting the lampshades, vacuuming the baseboards, or cleaning the top of the refrigerator. Well, we did touch up the bathroom a bit. How did we have 10 kids over for food and fun and not clean the house? We had the party outside.

      We had a Bonfire Party. We offered pop, juice, and water. We had marshmallows, chocolate bars, and graham crackers for Smores. (We had a container of baby wipes on the table.) We had fruit kabobs: strawberries, blueberries, can chunk pineapple, and mandarin oranges on sticks (see below), fresh veges and dip, potato chips, Doritos, and brownies. Someone brought chocolate chip cookies, (thank you) and someone else brought a bag of giant pink and white marshmallows (cool).

      We had a homemade pinata, an Easter egg hunt in the dark, played flashlight tag, and of course, we made a campfire.

      Cost:

      I've got a secret. I discovered it this summer. I can't be the only one who knows, because there are always only a few bottles left when I see it in the store. You can't buy it at the mall. It's a middle of the road price. It is the best thing in beauty supplies ever.

    • User post: Easy Macaroni & Cheese

      By ShiningLight | Shine Food – Mon, Sep 14, 2009 4:15 AM EDT

      Try this warm comfort food. Any type of pasta shape is good. You can add veges, ham or cooked chicken to it. The uncooked pasta bakes in the milk and it is so quick and easy.

      Baked Macaroni & Cheese

      4 tablespoons melted margarine
      2 cups uncooked pasta
      2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
      4 cups milk
      1/4 teaspoon each salt, pepper, & onion flakes
      breadcrumbs


      Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
      Use an ungreased 9 x 13 pan.
      Pour margarine in pan.
      Add uncooked pasta and stir.
      Add cheese, salt, pepper, onion.
      Pour milk over top.
      Top with a sprinkling of breadcrumbs.
      Bake for 40-50 minutes.

      For a great picture of this dish.
