The Greatest Play Doh Recipe Ever

Ok, now seriously. How many of you still love to play with playdoh? Don't be shy, I know there's plenty of you out there....

I made a HUGE batch of playdoh for preschool yesterday, and it occurred to me that the recipe is fairly simple and playdoh is undoubtedly amazing, so it might be nice to share this amazing recipe with y'all. And don't think it's just us crazy preschool teachers that use it. I've made this playdoh on rainy days while babysitting and I've even incorporated it into Sunday School lessons! I'm telling you, this is one of those life-long bits of knowledge that everyone should just know.


The Greatest PlayDoh Recipe Ever

-- 2 cups flour
-- 1 cup salt
-- 2 cups water
-- 2 tbsp. vegetable or canola oil
-- 4 tsp. cream of tartar

Mix ingredients together in large pot. Cook on medium, stirring occasionally, until think dough forms. Knead until smooth and add food coloring as desired!
I typically make a double batch, FYI.

Enjoy!

The taste of summer

This is the most amazing non-Starbucks cold drink on the face of the earth. It’s the perfect mix of coffee and chocolate; milkshake and frappucino.
And even I can make it. Successfully. And I’ve made it successfully REPEATEDLY, which is an even bigger deal.

Coffee Latte Shake

1 cup coffee, completely cooled
1 cup milk
10 ice cubes
2 tbsp. (unsweetened) cocoa powder
1/3 packet instant chocolate pudding mix (though I usually use ½, it’s easier to measure and I like the extra chocolate-ness)
French vanilla or hazlenut creamer, to taste
Sugar, to taste

Add all ingredients to blender; blend until thick and creamy.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!
