Peppermint ice cream has a reputation of being a Christmas flavor but it doesn’t have to be reserved for the winter holidays. Its beautiful pink color is just right for Valentine’s Day and its cool peppermint flavor makes it a refreshing choice when you’re trying to beat the summer heat.

Playing with food is not always a bad thing and in this case, it is the perfect way to turn your winter mealtimes into a fun art project {especially when indoor projects to keep your kiddos busy are sorely needed!}. This time around we made Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer pulling a sleigh full of toys.

Lunches around here have been pretty fun lately because my son and I have been using our Christmas and winter cookie cutters to make edible art scenes. This is one instance where I think playing with food is perfectly acceptable! It is especially perfect for a cold winter day when you need an indoor project.

Gingerbread cookies are often made for Christmas but when made in different shapes they can be great all winter. Your kids can help roll out and decorate the cookies with red hots, sprinkles and icing.

Krumkake (meaning bent or curved cake) is a dainty, Norwegian version of a waffle cone or an Italian pizzelle. It is a traditional Norwegian cookie prepared for Christmas. They have a delicate cardamom flavor and look festive and beautiful plain or filled with whipped cream or other sweets of your choice.
