• When Bad Things Happen to Good Candy

  Childhood obesity and the increasing number of adults carrying an extra ton is no laughing matter.  Candy, on the other hand, can be quite amusing.  At its winsome best, candy can transport us back to a summer camp, a corner store, a more carefree, less mommy needs a thigh master time in our lives. Candy is good.    Read More...

• When Bad Things Happen to Good Peeps

  Mama peep smoked a few times while pregnant.  She admits it now.  Maybe it was the pressure to keep her girlish figure, or all that talk of keeping her nerves calm.  Whatever the case, she admits that pack wasn't a good idea... She thinks she is responsible for her baby's smoking habit...     Read More...

• The Most Blasphemous Easter Candy Ever!

  Have you had enough of posts on Easter and Easter candy?  Of course not, especially when I have candy that is so sacrilegious.  You might ask yourself what should Marshmallow Peeps, those paragons of Easter confection, not do?  Perhaps recreate the Last Supper?  While we’re at it, why not have peeps recreate your favorite scenes from To Catch a Predator and Star Wars? Jump Ahead for the Peep Show   Read More...

• Strollerderby Playdate: Anonymously Hilarious

  One of the weird things about blogging is that you end up knowing a lot of really intimate details about people you've never met (sometimes, it must be said, details I'd care to not know). People write about poop, odd sexual proclivities, body odor – it doesn’t leave much of a sense of mystery. And then there's those bloggers that maybe write about those things, but maintain a deep cover that the CIA would envy. Read More...

• Crafty: Don't Eat 'em. Stamp 'em.

  I have tried to embrace the Peep. There is just something about the sugar blast and the stained fingers and the weird texture that makes me want to hurl. I can only just tolerate them when they are so stale you could use them as weapons. Even then, it's a close contest between my loathing and their edibleness.   Read More...

• Peeper Madness

  It started small. Just one or two a week, sometimes with friends, sometimes alone. Then it was three or four a week. Then one a day. Then two. And sometimes more. Then the real trouble started. Every time I went to the drugstore, there they were. Pack after pack, calling to me. I went through a half a pack, then a whole one, all in one day. Then it was two packs. At the office, I would ask my assistant to run out and get me more as early as 10am. My terrible secret, after the jump...  Read More...

• Peeps-Shaped Meatloaf? (Maybe Next Year)

  Too late for the Passover-Easter season is this crazy idea for a Peeps-shaped meatloaf. I've never actually eaten a Peep; they just look way too artificial, plus I'm not a candy-lover. My sister bought my kids some Peeps this year (Thanks a lot, Auntie Jill), and even they wouldn't eat them. That's a bad sign considering my kids will eat anything if the #1 ingredient is sugar, #2 is something I can't pronounce, and #3 is food coloring. I'm going to have to file away this Peep idea for next year, however, since it kinda looks like Miffy, I suppose I (or you) could make it anytime.   [photo credit: Brian Schilling]   Posted Apr 09 2007, 04:33 PM by Stefania Pomponi Butler (CityMama) with | with 3 comment(s) Filed under: feeding kids, recipes, kid and food, easter, peeps, Passover, kid-friendly food

• An Easter Surprise: Healthier Peeps

  Attention Peep Fans: This is the news you have all been waiting for - gourmet peeps! Unlike regular old peeps these will actually eventually biodegrade! The good news is that you can make them yourself. The bad news is that you have to make them yourself. Seriously. I am not making these up. They don't even have any marshmallow in them at all. I normally don't like peeps (don't freak out, I don't like cotton candy or apple pie either) but these sound good. We originally found the link on Slashfood, but the recipe for Saffron Meringue Chicks is here on Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories and they look delicious. It would take way more patience than I possess to make these, so if you guys make them, please let me know how they turn out. Or even better, if you live near me, please bring some over. I'll be home in time for Easter.   Posted Apr 04 2007, 04:22 PM by Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah with | with 6 comment(s) Filed under: food, health, recipes, easter, peeps, Slashfood, Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories
