So once again, I saw something on Pinterest and thought that it looked cool so I decided to give it a try. First problem that I had with coloring Easter eggs with shaving cream was, hard boiled eggs. Now I can bake like Betty but hard boiled eggs is something I always mess up. So I turned to Google for some help. Continue reading
So it’s my husbands birthday and I can’t make “the cake” until next weekend so I scrounged around the kitchen to see what I can clear out and make some kind of special treat for him this weekend. I love cleaning out the cabinets and the fridge and making something with what I found. After assessing the situation (one row of oreo cookies, a container of oreo cookie crumbs, 2 eggs, white chocolate almond bark, and 5 packages of cream cheese all leftover *yikes!* from Christmas baking except for the eggs) I decided on Chocolate Covered Oreo Cookie Cake Balls. I didn’t have a recipe for this so I made it up as I went along…
Once again, sorry the images kind of suck. The lighting in my kitchen is not so good and it didn’t help that I was doing this at about 2:00 AM so I didn’t even have a crack of sunlight coming in.
End result, Chocolate Covered Oreo Cookie Cake Balls. They turned out pretty good! Not as pretty as the truffles I made for Christmas but taste prevails over presentation!
Creating your own homemade fabric softener is easy peasy! I know, it’s all over the internet but like I said, this is a personal spouting board for myself and if someone finds these things useful, bonus!
My kitchen has horrible lighting and I am using my cellphone to snap shots as I go, sorry the pictures aren’t better but at least I have pictures! I’m getting better.
Cheap Conditioner, White Vinegar, and Water!
So I tried it. I made my own HE compatible liquid laundry detergent! Yea me! My husband laughed at me but he went out to buy the ingredients for me. I seen it on Pinterest (ugh! it’s an addiction), I didn’t pin it. Doh! So I just Googled it and this is what I found…
Super Washing Soda, Borax, Fels Naptha, & a 5 Gallon Bucket!
We have all been there, missing an ingredient. As I was searching for a recipe on my computer I came across this list of ingredient substitutions that I had gotten from somewhere long ago (I would give credit but I don’t remember where it came from). I thought it might be useful to others so here ya go! Personally, I have this list taped up in my cabinet, and use it when needed instead of running to Google every time I don’t want to run to the store!
