Bring the kiddos out to Raley Field for a FREE day of fun! Play games on the field and in the stadium. Mommy & Me will be held on Wednesday, April 18 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Pre-register on-line! https://atmilb.com/2EQwLwP

 I have taken my boys to this event since my oldest who is now 10 was 2 years old, this is a fun event.  Each year it is a little different.  Dinger usually makes an appearance, one-year Radio Disney was out there, most years they give away free snack size items for the kids like juice boxes and individual packs of cookies (it varies).  The nice thing is you can go out on the field, bring a sack lunch, a blanket, and a ball to toss around and enjoy the sunshine and beautiful Raley Field.  They usually have a bounce house and a few toys out on the field to play with.  There are a lot of kids who attend so I highly recommend bringing your own ball or purchase one from the gift shop.  We purchased a bat and ball last year and it was well worth it.

I love the Avocado Egg Rolls at The Cheesecake Factory and after making pork egg rolls and crab cream cheese wonton's with my boys it made me crave avocado egg rolls.  I decided I had to make them, and I am so glad I did.  It was super easy and so delicious.  Why spend $12 plus tax and tip, when you can buy avocados many times 2 for $1 and I already had everything else on hand.  
Avocado Egg Roll Recipe
Ingredients:
3 large avocados
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 cloves of garlic minced
¼ red onion diced
sprinkle of garlic salt
juice of 1/2 of a lime
a handful of cilantro (I love cilantro, add to your taste)
1 tablespoon of The Ginger People Spicy Ginger Teriyaki Sauce
Egg Roll Wrappers (I used Twin Dragon a pack of 20)
Water

Directions:
1. Dice two avocados, so you have chunks, mash the other avocado.
2. Gently mix avocados with ginger, minced garlic, diced onion, juice of 1/2 a lime and Spicy Ginger Teriyaki Sauce.
3. Add chopped cilantro and sprinkle of garlic salt.
4. To assemble lay egg roll wrapper so it looks like a diamond, on one corner add about 2 tablespoons of prepared filling, roll like a burrito tightly then fold over left and right sides and continue to roll, dampen edges with water to seal. 
6. Deep fry until golden brown and drain on paper towels.
Of course, I had to use my favorite dipping sauce The Ginger People Sweet Ginger Chili Sauce.

Spicy Ginger Teriyaki Sauce uses traditional flavors of teriyaki kicked up with bold ginger heat. This yummy marinade and simmer sauce is perfect for stir-fry or used as a glaze or to grill. Soak beef, chicken pork or fish to add a good taste that all will savor. Heat and reduce to intensify the flavor.

Sweet Ginger Chili sauce combines the flavors of sweet red peppers with the heat of ginger and chilies. A versatile blend of sweet and heat, this sauce “presents” beautifully as a dipping sauce for spring rolls, pot stickers, and veggie cakes. Simple, yet sublime.
The Ginger People sauces contain more ginger than any other brand and are made in the USA.

Going out to eat can add up quickly, I love take-out food, but I have learned that eating at home is definitely more cost-effective, that’s true if you are a single person or a large family.  It is nice to go out as a family and not have to clean-up.  It's nice to go out on Date Night, but it is just as fun to cook at home for date night.  It is fun to get the kids involved in the kitchen and cook together as a family.  My oldest son has been taking cooking classes through his homeschool program and that has spurred us on to do a lot more cooking at home together.  This easy Egg Roll and Crab Cream Cheese Wonton recipe is a great one to make as a family, easy to make and it does not require a lot of ingredients.

I made these Easy Egg Rolls and Crab Cream Cheese Wontons with my boys for dinner the other night.  The boys had so much fun helping in the kitchen and I must say myself, dinner turned out amazing. We used ground pork for our egg rolls, but you could use ground chicken as well.

We used this amazing sauce from The Ginger People in both the recipe and for a dipping sauce, they are both so delicious.  After tasting their Sweet Ginger Chili Sauce I want to put it on everything.  The Spicy Ginger Teriyaki Sauce is great on chicken skewers with bell peppers and red onions too.  If you are looking for things to add to your menu rotation these are great ones to add. 

This recipe made 20 egg rolls, talk about budget-friendly, when you go to a restaurant you can easily spend $12.50 for about 3 egg rolls (I’m thinking of the Cheesecake Factory’s Avocado Eggrolls), there’s 6 on the plate, but it’s 3 egg rolls cut in half am I right.

This egg roll recipe cost me about $10 to make, I fed my family of 6, invited my mom and sister over, and we had enough leftovers for my hubby and I for lunch the next day.

Easy Egg Roll Recipe
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1 pound ground pork
2 tablespoons grated ginger
3 cloves of garlic minced
¼ onion diced
3 cups of packaged Coleslaw Mix
2 Cups of Shredded Carrots
2 tablespoons of The Ginger People Spicy Ginger Teriyaki Sauce
Egg Roll Wrappers (I used Twin Dragon a pack of 20)
Water

Directions:
1. Sauté grated ginger, minced garlic and diced onion in vegetable oil until tender.
2. Add pork and sauté until brown.
3. Add Coleslaw blend and shredded carrots. 
4. Add 2 tablespoons of The Ginger People Spicy Ginger Teriyaki Sauce and stir for about 5 minutes.
5. To assemble lay egg roll wrapper so it looks like a diamond, on one corner add about 2 tablespoons of prepared filling, roll like a burrito tightly then fold over left and right sides and continue to roll, dampen edges with water to seal. 
6. Deep fry until golden brown and drain on paper towels.

These are heavenly with The Ginger People Sweet Ginger Chili Sauce for dipping.





Crab Cream Cheese Wontons
Ingredients:
Wonton Wrappers (I used Twin Dragon Brand)
8-ounce block of cream cheese
3-ounces imitation crab meat
1 tablespoon of The Ginger People Spicy Ginger Teriyaki Sauce
Green Onions
Water

Directions:
1. Soften the cream cheese.
2. Chop the crab meat and some green onion.
3. In a bowl mix the cream cheese, chopped crab meat, chopped green onion and The Ginger People Spicy Ginger Teriyaki Sauce.  
Tip: do not chop the crab meat too fine.  I made these twice in the same week and the batch that had bigger chunks of crab were preferred by my taste testers. 
4. Assemble

You can assemble these a few different ways we tried two ways.  Our first batch we placed a tablespoon of the mixture in the center and brought all four corners of the wonton wrapper to the top, sealed with water on all the edges.   This style didn’t hold its shape as well and I didn't feel the entire wonton cooked through, see the first picture below.  The second batch we made we shaped more like a triangle, we laid the wonton wrapper shaped like a diamond, placed a tablespoon of the mixture in the center, but then folded the wonton wrapper in half and sealed the edges. I like the way these turned out much better (pictured below bottom two pictures). 

For Dipping Sauce we used The Ginger People Sweet Ginger Chili Sauce, I couldn’t stop eating these, they are so yummy.

My boys and I had so much fun on Good Day Sacramento this morning sharing some Easter fun!

 Here is Part One of our Segment: https://cbsloc.al/2GheyVY
Part Two of our Segment: http://bit.ly/2IejStD

Due to a LIVE press conference, we had to tape our second snack segment which aired on Thursday.  You can also find these easy fun Easter ideas on the links below.  Great to do while the kids are home for Spring Break.
I used Nest Fresh Eggs, I love that they have a network of family farms across the United States.  Nest Fresh was the first egg to become Non-GMO Project Verified.  I found these eggs at my local Save Mart, but I have also ordered them on Amazon Fresh before. I love using their brown eggs, I think they are underused for Easter Egg decorating. They come out so pretty with their natural spots.  

 We demonstrated the EggMazing!  It is such a fun twist on decorating eggs and my favorite part is that it is mess free!  As a mom of four boys, I need as much mess free as I can get.  You can find the EggMazing here:  https://amzn.to/2G9yM84

My boys love decorating Easter eggs!  We have used many methods from egg dyeing kits to Kool-Aid, the Cool-Whip method, last year I really loved the ombre eggs we made.  You can read my Tips for Making Easter eggs here: https://bit.ly/2nw4wpR

This year we tried out the EggMazing Egg Decorator that was seen on Shark Tank this past February.  The EggMazing is a fun and creative way to decorate Easter eggs with the simple touch of a colorful marker. Sacramento readers ENTER TO WIN an EGGMAZING BELOW!!!!!

 I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to decorate Easter eggs, there were no cups of liquid involved, no cool-whip or shaving cream to clean up, although those messy ways are fun too.  It was just really nice to not have a big mess to clean up.  It was super simple!

 My boys loved the EggMazing!  We opened our box, which came with 8 colorful non-toxic markers all we needed to add was 4-AA batteries.  As a mom to four boys, I always have a stash of batteries.  We placed our hard boiled egg in the center and turned it on.  As the egg spins, you lightly touch the marker to the egg, you can make stripes by staying in one spot and leaving space between stripes or you can move across the egg and have the lines intertwine.  

 We used both brown and white eggs. I love the way the brown eggs turned out.  My boys loved it so much, we decorated eggs, ate dinner and then they had me make more hard-boiled eggs after dinner so they could decorate some more.  






I love when my boys want to do arts and crafts. I was happy they had so much fun with this that they want to use the EggMazing over and over.  

 Using the EggMazing is definitely a fun twist on Easter egg decorating while eliminating the mess.  I love it so much I want to GIVE ONE AWAY to my local readers!!!  Enter to win below, this will be a quick giveaway, so you can receive your prize in time to use this Easter.  Enter and tell your friends and family to enter, a winner will be picked this Tuesday evening March 27, 2018.

Our family celebrates Easter with all the cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents for an annual Easter Egg hunt.  We have done a variety of get-togethers that have included brunch; we have had picnics at the park, and dinner gatherings. 

If you are hosting an Easter get-together there are ways to stretch your dollar and still add festive touches without spending a lot of money. Here are some fun ideas for simple DIY Table Décor that is easy on the budget. 

Egg Place Setting Name Cards
Use an egg as a table name card.  I decorated my hardboiled egg using edible markers, simply with the name, one with a flower, one with a butterfly.  You could use dyed eggs if you prefer.  I placed a paper doily on the plate and then placed the hard-boiled egg in a cupcake wrapper with some Easter paper grass.  I think this is such a cute idea for brunch or a dinner get together.  I used a real hard-boiled egg, I used Nest Fresh eggs, they were on sale this week at my local Save Mart and I really loved the way the brown egg looks. You could also use craft eggs for the kids' table or if you will be at a picnic and the eggs will be outside for a long period of time.  If you are using hardboiled eggs be sure to eat your eggs as an appetizer or refrigerate for later.    

I love using Nest Fresh eggs I’ve had them delivered right to my house using Amazon Fresh! I love supporting companies that support regional farms.  NestFresh employs a national network of regional farms to produce and supply farm fresh eggs in a local and sustainable system. Nest Fresh was the first egg to become Non-GMO Project Verified.  You can enjoy your eggs knowing that your ingredients are of the best quality.  NestFresh believes healthy chickens lead to healthy eggs. 

Carrot Napkin Utensils
This is such a simple and budget-friendly way to add an adorable Easter touch to your table. 

What you need:
Orange Napkins
Green Plastic Utensils
Ribbon or Twine

Lay the orange napkin so it looks like a diamond, place your green utensils in the middle and wrap.  Tie with some ribbon or twine. 
Using plastic utensils makes it great for everyone you could use at a brunch or picnic.  I love using plastic cutlery when I can I’m all for less dishwashing.

Easter Branch Vase
I love decorating on a budget, using what I have and incorporating nature which costs me nothing. 

What you need:
Vase
Branch or branches
Scrapbook paper (to make eggs, crosses, bunnies or any other Easter themed decorations to hang on your branches).
Easter Egg Template - FREE DOWNLOAD HERE: https://bit.ly/2DNqOLH

Place the branch in your vase, I added Easter grass in the vase.  Cut out your Easter themed shapes using this free Easter Egg Template, you can use flat paper eggs and use a punch hole and ribbon to hang them on your branches.  You can also fold each egg cutout in half and use double-sided tape to make the 3-D Eggs. I used 5 egg cut-outs to make my 3-D Eggs. This beautiful Easter decoration cost me nothing, I already had everything to make it. This vase looks great on the dining room table as a centerpiece, on a fireplace mantle, or any shelf.

I hope these inexpensive ideas help you add Easter touches to your home.  Enjoy the Easter season celebrating with your friends and family relishing in the season and time together.

Easter is upon us!  Any of these Peeps Treats would be great creations to make with your kids while they are on Spring Break or for any Easter get-togethers.  I have a child with an April birthday so these are even fun for birthday Easter-themed treats. 

Last year I made Peep Fruit Kabobs and they were requested again by my middle son to take in for his 3rd-grade class Easter party.  I’m sure you have seen on Pinterest those Brownie Carrot Patch desserts, with chocolate covered strawberries made to look like carrots.  I decided to add those to my Peep Fruit Kabobs this year and I love the way they turned out.  They were definitely a huge hit with my boys.  

For my 1st-grader I made Peep Pudding cups, you can make many variations of these depending on what you have on hand. 

We love Peeps so for some after school fun, we made Peep Graham Cracker treats.  My boys loved making their own creations.  We attempted birdhouses out of graham crackers but I would call that one a Pinterest fail, it was not as easy to keep our houses together with store-bought frosting, maybe that’s where I went wrong.  The boys had fun spreading lots of frosting as glue but they did not hold up too well.  We still had fun and were quickly in the Easter mood.  I hope you'll try any of these recipes and enjoy these Easter Peeps Treats this Easter.

Peep Fruit Kabobs
What you need:
Skewers
Peeps
Fresh Fruit of your choice (I used grapes, pineapple, strawberries, and cantaloupe)
Carrot Strawberries (strawberries dipped in Orange Wilton Candy Melts)

Directions:
Chop your fruit and prepare to assemble on the skewer, place the chocolate covered strawberry and Peep last.  If you are not using the chocolate covered strawberries I found using a grape next to the peep was best, so you don’t have “wet” fruit next to the marshmallow peep. 

Carrot Strawberries:
Wash and dry your strawberries.
Line a cookie sheet with wax paper.
Place 2 cups of orange Wilton Candy Melts in a microwave safe bowl.
Add 2 teaspoons of canola oil to the candy melts, stir.
Microwave on your defrost setting for one minute, stir and then continue microwaving in 30-second increments stirring each time until all the candy melts are melted. I did approximately a total of 3 minutes, each microwave will vary.
Hold the strawberries by the green part and dip in the candy melt and shake off excess.
Place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper and repeat.
Once finished dipping all my strawberries, my chocolate made 20 dipped strawberries I then used a strawberry, dipped in the melted chocolate to go back over all the strawberries to add a drizzle, this definitely makes them look more carrot-like.
Place in the refrigerator to set. 
  

Peep Pudding Cups
What you need:
Chocolate Pudding cups
Crushed Oreos (for the dirt)
Peeps
Candy of your choice to decorate. (Easter M&M’s, Easter Jelly Beans, Carrot Chocolate Covered Strawberries, Spring Sprinkles)

Directions:
Smash Oreo’s that will be your soil.
Top with a Peep and your choice of candy decoration.
  

Peep Graham Cracker Treats
What you need:
Graham Crackers
Peeps
Blue frosting for the sky (I used store bought frosting and added food coloring)
Green frosting for the grass
Mini marshmallows for clouds
Spring sprinkles and candy to decorate. (Easter M&M’s, Easter Jelly Beans, Whopper Mini Eggs)

Directions:
Frost the top half of your graham cracker with blue for the sky.
Frost the bottom part green for the grass.
Center your Peep
Decorate as desired, we used mini marshmallows as clouds and a variety of candy and Spring sprinkles.
