What's Cookin Wednesday

Nutella Cookies! When I saw that Sister #2 pinned this on Pinterest I knew I had to give them a go!

Here is the inspiration.

Super easy!

1 cup Nutella
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of a mixer, combine the Nutella, sugar, and egg. Beat on medium speed until well combined, about a minute. Roll mixture into 1″ balls and place several inches apart (they spread quite a bit) on an ungreased, nonstick cookie sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the edges are firm to the touch. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet for about 3 minutes. Carefully remove cookies to finish cooling on a baking rack.



Those are mine above.
Things to note:
*1 cup of Nutella is almost the entire jar!
*My eggs might have been a bit old - so I am going to retry with
fresher eggs (hello mom?! ;-)) and the Crunchy Kroger version of
Nutella.

Things I didn't like (and hope are better with round 2):
*As seen above, 80% of the cookies broke when removing from the pan.
Not sure if I left them on too long or if this is where my old eggs
came into play.
*Some of the texture was grainy like all I was getting was sugar.
That's why I'm going to try the crunchy version...


**Edit: my staff and select customers LOVED these. So maybe I'm the one with the picky cookie pallet ;-)

You might also want to try on a scilicone baking sheet. You can pull the whole sheet off the pan to let them cool and then just peel them off.

Labor of Love (Part 1 of 3)

I love lace. I love the delicacy with which it presents itself to the world. That being said, I dont really use it very much. I do have some family doilies, and my wedding dress has some lace, but I dont go too crazy. I like to be able to clean things, and not have dust mites clinging to every available piece of cloth (they cling to everything else anyway.) So, I decided to try a painting technique. Why not paint the lace on the object? Easy to clean, lovely design, what could be better? We got this child's vanity in an old attic pick. Yes, we went into someone's hot and muggy attic for several hours. Yes, they let us jsut dig through things (can you believe it?!?!) unsupervised. Yes, we had to take our own flashlights. And yes, there was mouse droppings and dead birds up there. It was gross, but worth it. My boy LOVED it! American Pickers is his favorite tv show. So this school bus yellow vanity sat there looking at us. Begging for new life! I knew if we left ...

Caning with Grandpa!

By
Here is what we were working toward! (Aka: the finished product!) I got this chair either out of the trash or very cheap. I cannot actually remember, as we have a host of chairs without seats in them waiting for a new lease on life. I have been wanting to work on a chair like this for some time. I had a dream a few years back of me sitting and caning a chair with my grandfather. Ever since that dream, I have wanted to see it happen. So this last weekend, I made the trek up to Indiana to spend a few wonderful days with my grandparents. The days spent with them are like living in another world. They have no TV, so we spend lots of time talking, reading and playing games. They live out in the country, and you can see the stars up close. It gets darker, since there are no city light or lights from other homes...which means they want to go to bed at 7pm. :-)... AND wake up at 4am. We got started caning the chair in the cold basement. All of Grandpa's tools were down there, so we coul...
