Saintly Soda for All Saints' Day

I just got finished making some labels for the All Saints' Day party we're going to this weekend, and I wanted to share them with you! It's a knock off of Dr. Pepper. Check it out!

Dr. Gianna's Saintly Soda

Before I go on, I just wanted to check and make sure... you guys knew that Saint Gianna was a doctor, right? Good! Just wanted to be on the safe side and state the obvious there. :-)

I made 2 different label sizes. One label goes around a 2 liter bottle of soda.

The other set of labels prints 3 to a page, and they go around the small cans of Dr. Pepper. The size of cans I used were the 7.5 FL OZ, and I got them at Wegman's. These are smaller than standard coke cans, but pretty common to find.

You may as well buy off brand for the 2 liter bottle, because you're going to cover the label anyway, so who will ever know? I got "Dr. W's", also available at Wegman's. ;-)

I'm really excited about this "Saintly Soda"! I think it will be a hit at our All Saints' Day party because all of my friends really love Saint Gianna (including me).

Just print the labels, cut, and tape them on.

I'm working on some more labels for Saintly food right now, so hopefully I'll post those for ya'll tomorrow. I'm so excited that All Saints' Day is almost here! :-)

How to Make "Noah's Ark" Rainbow Cookies

"God added: 'This is the sign that I am giving for all ages to come, of the covenant between me and you and every living creature with you: I set my bow in the clouds to serve as a sign of the covenant between me and the earth'" Genesis 9:12-13

After our week at Vacation Bible School, I thought it would be fitting to continue on with the Old Testament. Noah's ark is such a great bible story for kids! We had so much fun with these Sacred and Immaculate Heart play doh cookies that I thought we'd make some rainbows.

Recipe for Play Doh Cookies

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups butter, softened
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons almond extract
5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
For Decorating:
gel food coloring
white sugar

Start by creaming the butter, sugar, and cream cheese. Then add the eggs and almond extract. Stir until smooth. In a separate bowl mix dry ingredients, and add to the butter mixture. Split into 3 parts and color them red, yellow, and blue. Then roll into 2 inch balls. Cover and refrigerate for 2+ hours. When firm, roll dough into coils (aka 'snakes'), stack 3 colors together, and shape into rainbows, trimming with a butter knife where necessary. Preheat oven to 350. Sprinkle the top of each cookie with white sugar, and cook for 12-15 minutes or until cookies begin to brown on edges.

These were super easy to make. Lydia (age 5) shaped the rainbow cookies completely unassisted and they were adorable! :-)

I love the shape because they can sit right on the edge of your glass of milk! I will admit that play doh cookies aren't my favorite to eat, but they're a hoot to make! (And they're not awful to eat- just a little tough.)

These rainbow cookies would be a great pairing
