Pinterest Review: Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookies

Who says clean eating is boring? NOT I.  I love trying new clean eating recipes!!  I pinned a neat one last week. It went straight to my To Do list. I have been eying it ever since because it just looks so yummy.

Here is the original picture I pinned:

  

Those cookies look yummy don't they. I thought so. 

This recipe comes from one of my favorite all time blogs:

Chocolate Covered Katie

If you have never been to her blog, you should. She is amazing.

Katie wrote on her blog that these cookies will make you forget what time it is, what day it is, and basically everything else that was once important in your life.

She is not lying when she was describing these cookies.

 

Instead of using sugar or xylitol, I substituted 1/4 cup locally grown honey.  

 

Don't they just look delicious?

 You should make these. Really you should.  You will not be sorry.

A while back, I purchased some chalkboard spray paint at Michael's.  Which meant, time to look for a small project to do to test out this chalkboard spray paint.

Pinterest Review: Baked Oatmeal Gluten Free & Diabetic Friendly

This summer we have taken a lot of road trips.  This means that you have to eat out a lot. I have also not been planning my whole foods/eat clean foods well.  My fibromyalgia has surely shown its ugly self. It is at its worst when I don't eat whole foods.

I was searching Pinterest last week for some new whole/clean eating recipes and came across this one.  It looked very easy to make and I had all ingredients on hand.

Here is the original picture I pinned:

 

The recipe comes from:  Sugar Free Mom blog

These oatmeal muffins were super easy to make.  They are very delicious so I froze the leftover muffins in a gallon Ziploc freezer bag.  I have tried these twice from freezer by putting in microwave for 30 seconds.  I will definitely be making this recipe again.

Pinterest Review: Yo Gabba Gabba Toy Cubes

My four year old twins have loved the show Yo Gabba Gabba since they were less than a year old. If you know anything about Yo Gabba Gabba products, you know they are hard to find.

As a mother who loves Gabba items and DIY projects, I was so excited when I saw this pin on Pinterest about how to make Yo Gabba Gabba Fabric Cubes. I already had the fabric cubes, the felt, and glue for glue gun.


Here is the original picture:
