Welcome to Making Life Fun!

Baking and cooking are my go to creative hobbies and I hope to inspire everyone to be more creative in the kitchen. This website shares some of the recipes I've created during my time in the kitchen.

Food really brings people together and makes people happy, so I wanted to create a blog centered around being happy and having fun. At the moment there are only recipes on here, but I hope to expand this website to include other creative activities in the future.

Get Baking!

Spooky Creations: Halloween Part 4

Welcome back everyone! This post is a continuation of my Halloween celebration this year. In this post I use my sugar cookies recipe as well as some non-Halloween themed cookie cutters to make spooky or Halloween themed cookies. It only takes a little imagination and *poof* you've got some new creations in your kitchen. Every Halloween season I see cookie cutters emerge and the same ones make their way through each year with a variation or two.

I'll be updating this post with written directions later this week.

Not to mention that I have fresh baked bread and my house smells pretty amazing for several hours. I enjoy foods that are packed with flavor, and a good savory bread is right up there with some of my favorite bakes. Think of bread as a blank canvas that you can paint however you like.
