Funfetti Blondies

Dish: Funfetti Blondies
Pajamas: Polar bear shorts and pink top
Recipe: Sis and Pinterest

I have seen all types of yummy blondies on Pinterest. Sis made some a few weekends ago and told me that I would love them. I looked in my pantry and I just happened to have all of the ingredients. I used a Funfette cake mix, one egg, 1/2 c white chocolate chips, 1/2c milk and 1/4 c oil. I mixed it all up and let it bake on 350* for about 20 minutes. When they came out of the oven, they were super gooey so I let them sit for about 10 minutes. Once they were a bit easier to pick up, I devoured mine :) I am not a huge chocolate fan, so this to me was like gold. It is the consistency of a brownie without the chocolate! I will definitely make these again. Thanks for the recommendation Sis!
Trev-o-meter: Not available due to the sweetness of the recipe :)

As I begin my 30 day Yoga Challenge. I will leave you with this...

I have been reading about the new fad- 30 day challenges. It is simple enough. Pick something that is good for you and do it everyday for 30 days. This will make it a priority in your life and by the end of the 30 days, it will be a habit! I chose yoga :) This summer, I am sad to say, I slacked a lot in my yoga practice. Today was day 2 and boy I have lost it! I sure hope that in 28 more days, I will be back to where I ended in May. Here's to my new favorite word: hope :)

Turquoise Projects

I bought some really ugly letters from Hobby Lobby. They were brushed gold UGH! They were also on sale (50% off!) The only reason I bought them was because I loved the and sign. I took them home and looked at them for about 30 minutes waiting for inspiration :) Finally I decided to use some of the wall paint sample that I got the weekend before. I knew that I wouldn't need the sample of the color that I decided against. I painted the letters and let them dry. I then decided that they would be a sweet addition to our bedroom. As I began to hang them, I realized that they each had 2 holes on the back. Hmmm I went to Trevor's office and said I needed screws or nails, a laser straight thingy, a cross screw driver, a hammer, a pencil, and a "zzzzz" thing. He went out in the garage and filled my order perfectly.   I then did a great rigging job and actually hung them. I stepped back to admire my work and noticed that they were completely crooked!! I then looked at the holes and realized that the holes were crooked on each letter! I know why they were 50% off! I fixed the crookedness and wahlah! Beauty :)

While at Hobby Lobby, I saw this frame! It was 80% off! I couldn't pass it up. I also painted it with my sample paint. I decided that the pattern would look better antiqued. I dry brushed the thing and I am very happy with how it turned out. I haven't quite decided what I am going to use it for, but I promise that I will post a picture of the finished product.

No words

I went to Torchy's while out on a shopping trip. If the delish mamish tacos weren't enough, I decided to order dessert. They had a specialty dessert called the Snookie. I said, "why not?" The man brought out this hot bowl filled with gooey goodness. They are a mushy cookie on the inside and a chewy corn flake breading on the outside. I can throw down dessert with the best of them and I could only eat 2!

Cobbler in a Jar

Dish: Cobbler in a jar

Recipe: Pinterest (blueberry oatmeal cobbler)
Pajamas: turquoise, very soft nighty :)
Eaters: Me, Trevor, Mom

I spend so much time on Pinterest and it seems that the huge fad right now is the use of Mason Jars. I have seen cupcakes, cookies, casseroles, candles, soap, soup, bath salts (the bath kind!), modge podge, etc etc etc in a jar. I wanted to do something in a jar, but I didn't know what. I decided to make one of my favorite desserts in a jar so that I could eat the single servings each night when I de-stressed from the first week back at school. I chose an oatmeal crumb recipe so that when I froze the jars, it wouldn't get soggy. The recipe was super easy! I ended up using half frozen and half fresh fruit because that is what was in the fridge and it tasted great. In the picture, you can see that I left plenty of room at the top for ice cream. Each night I took one jar out, heated it and covered it with fat free/sugar free ice cream and wahlah! Dessert! I really liked the fact that it kept me from dishing out huge helpings, it's a healthy version of cobbler and I get a fruit serving in at the end of the day :)

Trev-o-meter: "I don't like cobbler."
Mom-o-meter: "Oh I love it, it's so cute, what a neat idea! Let's tell Mam :)"
