#CampWarnerBros – Week 4 – DIY Scooby Snacks

July 15, 2020 by Ashley Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post for Camp Warner Bros featuring Scooby-Doo!: WrestleMania Mystery! and a fun DIY Scooby Snack recipe.

I can already tell you that this week of Camp Warner Bros is going to be my son Raiden’s favorite week of camp. That is because he is a huge Scooby Doo fanatic. He loves Scooby Doo so much that for his 3rd birthday we had a Scooby Doo themed party. The idea of watching a new Scooby Doo movie and getting to make a DIY Scooby Snack just means it will be all he talks about for awhile- and I’m okay with that!

Raiden saw the new Scooby-Doo!: WrestleMania Mystery! movie downloaded to our movie platform before I could even surprise him with it which means we watched the movie before making snacks. This isn’t a problem because I expect him to ask me to watch it at least half a dozen times throughout the week.

DIY Scooby Snacks

Let’s make Scooby Snacks! Thanks to Camp Warner Bros you can follow the instructions below to make your own Scooby Snacks at home. We decided to get creative like suggested and we added sprinkles to our Scooby Snacks. This was a huge win in our home because my little buddy, Raiden, loves sprinkles. He loved getting to add the sprinkles to the mix.

He always has avoided helping make anything like this because it is messy to make, but I convinced him to help me even if we had to remove his shirt and keep explaining to him that it is okay to get a little dirty, especially when the results are a sweet treat!

It’s Party Time!

Now that you have made your DIY Scooby Snacks it is time to get ready for the movie! If you have a little one who just can’t sit still through an entire movie then I have the perfect something for you. In addition to the Scooby Snacks I also have two fun coloring pages for your kids. Just print these pictures out and you are ready for a fun filled night of Scooby Doo time!

Keep following on here as well as on social media for even more fun activities with Camp Warner Bros because we are only half way through Camp!

Tuna Squish Review and Tuna Salad Recipe

September 20, 2014 by Ashley 1 Comment


Tuna

I will admit right here and now that I love, love, love Tuna.  Honestly, I love fish in general, but I eat a lot of canned Tuna Fish.  I just love the taste and smell of it.  I hated it when I was younger, but as I grew older I realized I was missing something amazing.  (My cats may have helped me realize this fact, but I will not give them all of the credit.)

One of my favorite things to make is Tuna Fish Salad and the hardest thing to do is to get all of that Tuna juice out of the can.  If I leave it in then the Tuna Salad is too thin and won’t hold together in the sandwich well enough to stay on my toast.  I know everyone makes their Tuna Salad a little differently so, if you keep reading you will be lucky enough to find out the recipe that I have perfected over the years.

In the mean time, let me tell you all about the Tuna Squish product that I was given to review.  You might laugh at the name of the product, but I find it to be one of my favorite tools in the kitchen.  If you are like me and you have dexterity and strength issues with your hands then you will understand where I am coming from.  It can be very hard to get my hands to do what I want them to do and I often struggle to squeeze all of the juice out of the cans without making a huge mess.

Tuna Squish 3

This is a great product because once I have used the can opener to open my can of tuna (I use an electric can opener, though I was sent a manual opener to use with my Tuna Squish review.) I just have to simply insert the can into the Tuna Squish as pictured above making sure that the lid is in place.

TunaSquish 1

Once the can is in place I squish the Tuna Squish and tilt it over the sink to let all of the juices escape the can and when I lift the arms again the lid will come up with it because of a magnet in the Tuna Squish.  This keeps me from getting my hands covered in Tuna juice as well as helps to keep me safe from getting cut by any sharp edges that may be on the can lid when I try to pry it out of the can after squeezing the juice from the can.

HOW THE TUNA SQUISH WORKS

  • Insert opened can into Tuna Squish
  • Squeeze handles, turn sideways to drain the liquid
  • Separate handles, magnet in upper handle lifts lid off can, no digging for sharp lid = no injury
  • Press release button, dump lid directly into trash

*works on 5oz and 7oz can sizes

Purchase:

Tuna Salad Recipe

My Tuna Salad recipe is based off of a 7oz can of Tuna. You can use any brand of tuna fish. I personally do not have a favorite. I buy whatever brand is on sale or whatever one I happen to have coupons for at the time. I feel this is the best option when you live on a fixed income.

Items You Will Need:

  • 1 7 oz. Can of Tuna Fish
  • 3 Tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 1 small Yellow Onion
  • Green Grapes
  • 1 Dill Pickle
  • Whole Wheat Bread or Sourdough Bread

Directions:

Step 1: Open can of Tuna Fish with your can opener and then use the Tuna Squish to squeeze out all excess juice from the Tuna Fish.  You will want to make sure that it is nice and dry and dump into a small bowl.

Step 2: Dice up 1/4 of the small yellow onion and dump into the bowl of Tuna Fish.  If you are like me you will want to dice it up pretty small.  Not so small as that it could be mistaken for minced onions.  I like to use my pinky nail as a measurement tool and like to have my onions just smaller than the size of my pinky nail.  This is a measurement that however will be different for each person.

Step 3: Chop up about 4-6 green grapes into pieces that are the same in size as your onions.  Add the chopped up grapes into the bowl as well.

Step 4: Take 1/4 of the Dill Pickle and chop it up into pieces just like the grapes and onion so that it matches the same size.  Keeping all of these ingredients similar in size seems to make it taste better because your odds are pretty good that you will have relatively even amounts of each in each bite of Tuna Salad.

Step 5: Add in 3 Tablespoons of mayonnaise to the bowl with all of the above ingredients.  I like to use the spoon that I used to measure the mayonnaise with to mix my mixture.  Instead of stirring it I findthat folding the mixture seems to work a lot better and easier when trying to evenly disperse the ingredients through out the bowl.

Step 6: Toast up two slices of whole wheat bread till they are a medium brown in color and are really crisp.  I prefer using a thicker slice of whole wheat bread or a really fresh slice of sourdough bread.  I prefer the sourdough, but it isn’t always easy to find a high quality sourdough bread to use for sandwiches.

Just put the Tuna Salad onto the toast and cut on a diagonal and voile! You have one amazing sandwich.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Holiday Candy Cane and M&M Cake

December 27, 2013 by Ashley 2 Comments

My sister is the one who got the creative baking skills out of the two of us.  I have always wished I thought of some super cute things to make for the Holidays and parties and everything else, but the reality of it is that I will never be like that.  This year she created this super cute Holiday candy cane and M&M cake that I wanted to share with you.

Holiday Candy Cane and M&M Cake

This cake that my sister made is actually a pretty simple little cake to make.  I will outline everything that you need for the cake below though it won’t be a full recipe or anything since I believe that she made it with boxed cake mix.  Even if she didn’t you could easily find a recipe for the cake or use one of your own for it.

She made this for one of our family parties and I can tell you it was a huge hit.  Everyone loved the festive look and loved just how good it was as well.  Thank you so much for letting me share this cake with everyone, Sarah.  I know you are proud of the cake just as much as I am proud of you.

What you will need:

  • 2 Yellow round cakes or whatever flavor cake you choose
  • Candy Cane sticks approximately 40
  • 1 bag of Holiday M&M’s
  • Frosting 1 container or homemade
  • Ribbon

 

Did I get you hooked?
