One of the easiest ways I have found to support my kids' schools is by clipping Box Tops and sending them in. I have been furiously clipping those little things off of packaging for almost five years now. It's hard to believe that the simple act of clipping Box Top coupons has raised over $300 million dollars for schools. Now you can earn even more money for the school of your choice because from now until March 18, the Kroger Family of Stores is giving you the chance to get even more Bonus Box Tops.
All you need to do is register at RewardYourSchool and select the offers you'd like to receive. When you register you will automatically receive 5 Bonus Box Tops just for signing up. Then select the offers for Bonus Box Tops on participating General Mills products you would like and load them to your Kroger Shopper Card to be redeemed when you purchase those items. There's no clipping involved! The bonus box tops will automatically go straight to your chosen school. Just make sure to use your shopper card when making your purchase.

This weeks was a fun week in the kitchen for me. I'm not a big fan of cooking meals but I love baking and making treats. Last year I decided to make treats for my family for Valentine's Day instead of buying them. I (and they) enjoyed it so much I decided to make this a tradition. I surprised them with completely different treats this year. I made them Conversation Heart Fudge, Peanut Butter Heart Cups and Devil's Food Cake Balls. I adapted a couple of the recipes. For the Peanut Butter Heart Cups I just used Nestle semi-sweet chips instead of buying and melting down the hearts (less expensive) and I made red candy hearts using Wilton candy melts instead of the chocolate hearts. For the Cake Ball recipe I just substituted Devil's Food cake mix for the Red Velvet. All of these recipes can be adapted slightly to be made for all occasions.
