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.

Review: Simple Truth Organic Thin & Crispy Vegan Crust & Pizza Sauce

We were sent samples of Simple Truth Organic Thin & Crispy Vegan Pizza Crust & Pizza Sauce.  We rounded out our samples with Kroger Pizza Blend Cheese, Kroger Pepperoni and Kroger Bella Mushrooms.  What can I say - we're a Kroger loving family! My little helper loved spreading the sauce and then all the ingredients.  I'm not sure all the cheese made it on the pizzas! Overall, this was good, but I'm not sure we'll purchase the crust again.  The "vegan" part didn't affect the taste as far as I could tell.  I LOVED that the crust was crispy (like a cracker almost), but where the toppings were it was a wee bit softer.  The texture was a+.  I felt like the crust had zero taste.  I did, however, enjoy the taste of the sauce.  I don't like my pizza sauce overly spicy or sweet and this one fit the bill - this we will purchase again. Can’t top the great taste of this #SimpleTruthOrganic Vegan pizza crust! #MyMagaz...

Robin's Egg Blue

What color is more vibrant, calming, and fun all mixed into one? For me, it is a bright robin's egg blue. It can be a statement color, and accent color, or whatever you want it to be. I have to give my boy the credit for finding this chest sometime last year. I apologize I didnt really get a "before" picture. The chest was painted brown. Why you would ever really paint wood brown, is beyond me. Especially this chest. It is a cedar chest, smells wonderful and has beautiful, rich natural wood. I sanded this one down, because I wanted to salvage the beauty. However, even then, the brown paint remained in the carvings on the front and in the grooves of the legs. I would have saved that beautiful wood too, but you already know I did not. Why did I not, you may ask? (Especially when I keep going on and on and on about the wood...) Because of this. The top. Sigh . The pictures dont really do it justice, but there are grooves going opposite the grain, making it look scratched. ...
