Love List-40; Rice Krispie Art and Easter Crafts

It’s Easter week and I’m feeling happy and hopeful!  Spring (and Easter especially) always has me feeling that way.  As always, writing this Love List always makes me smile too – enjoy!

1. Did you hear that Drew Barrymore came out with a kitchen line called ‘beautiful’ at Walmart! The pieces and appliances look really pretty – I especially love the black and gold. But there are some other fun colors and affordable pieces. Thoughts?
2. Have you heard of Chile Crisp? It is crunchy peppers in a chili oil? Sounds amazing, here’s one I found and I’m immediately going to make this pasta I saw on Taste.

   

3. Want to get lost looking at fun art made out of Rice Krispies? 
4. I’ve been looking for a wall hang tapestry thing that wasn’t a million dollars to go on an empty wall at the top of our stairs – I wanted it to marry the kids’ space and adult space together – lofty goal, I know, but I think I found just the one!!!!

Bridget’s Picks

1. Oh boy, I am officially HOOKED!  Have you watched Firefly Lane?  I didn’t even realize it was based on a book, but I do love a good Netflix original show.  Anyway, season 1 is over and now I impatiently wait for season 2.
2. We dyed Easter eggs this weekend and did some fun Easter crafts.  I love this site for great kids craft ideas.
3. Not exactly sure why this is described as “for girls” only, buuuut I did purchase this fun flower garden building toy for my son and daughter for Easter.  They love to play in the garden with us while we’re pulling weeds, so I thought this would be fun!

Alyssa’s Picks

1. I’ve been dreaming of a vacation and love looking up different vacation packages and not too long ago I discovered Costco does them with flight, hotel and rental cars! They have such good deals and it’s so fun to see the different destinations.
2. I’ve been on a search for good pans and right now I’m trying out this brand. I always try to look for non-toxic cookware that is also non-stick and have seen these quite of few times for recommendations so I hope this one is good!
3. I’ve been obsessed with this sandwich from Panera…I may have ordered it twice last week! I tried to remake it at home and it just wasn’t the same and this has been my go-to order lately!

The Team’s Favorite – Easter Candy

Phi

• I grew up in a European house, and my mom has been spoiling us with German chocolate for years (she would find the best stuff at import stores.) Now, the unique things I grew up with are available everywhere!! My favorite was always the Kinder Easter Eggs – chocolate and hazelnut for the win! A close second are these Lindt chocolate carrots – also chocolate and hazelnut

Bridget

• Reeses eggs!  I have been a long time lover of peanut butter and the chocolate to pb ratio in a Reeces egg is perfection.

Alyssa

• I’ll have to say the Reese’s Eggs too! I also like the Starburst Easter jellybeans for a non-chocolate favorite!
