Cinnamon Churro Chex Mix

Lately I have been into 3 different kinds of food. Different kinds of green Salads. Healthy fruit/veggie Smoothies. And  Chex Mix. Yes call me weird....hahaha Kind of a weird mix of foods/drinks. So i have been trying out different chex mix recipes and stumbled across this sweet one that is  yummy.yum.yum. Cinnamon Churro Chex Mix.

Here's How I Made It: 9 cups Chex Cereal  1 cup cinnamon Chips 1/2 cup Butter ( To much butter for me so put in less!) 1/2 cup Powdered sugar 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar ( This was also to much sugar for me so i only put in a little of it.) 1 1/2tsp. Cinnamon

 Oh yes and a helper!

First i measured out my cereal in a large bowl...i didn't know it but 9 cups it basically one whole box of Chex cereal.

Next - i melted the cinnamon chips and butter, until smooth.

Then i poured it over the chex and mixed until it was evenly coated.

(as you can tell i used the same bowl to melt and mix dry ingredients.....lazy me)

Last I mixed the powdered sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon together and mixed it into the chex mixture.

Then i spread it on parchment paper until it was cooled.

And after that it was a tasty snack!

Summer Fun List

I've been wanting to make this summer fun list since probably last summer. So this year i decided to make one. You can use it for any season and just change the colors of the rectangles (which i plan on doing) Maybe it's just me but i seem to get more done when i have a list to check off! Plus i got Hailey excited about all the fun things we're going to start doing! So here's how i made my  'Summer Fun List' (It's very similar to the paint chip calendar i made HERE)

To make it i used: 

some double sided tape 

paint chips

poster board

scissors

I also used a long frame that i had in the closet (collecting dust)

First i cut out the poster board to fit the frame.

Then i cut the words off the ends of the paint chips and taped them to the poster board.

I thought it still looked a little plain so i dressed it up a bit with the leftover paint chips.

I also didn't measure anything or try to get it straight as you can tell.

Then I put it in the frame.

The glass acts a  dry erase surface so i used a dry erase marker to write down some fun summer activities.

I have high hopes we'll do more than what's on the list.....but it's a good start!

I'm loving how it turned out!

What do you have planned for the summer?
