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.

Robin's Egg Blue

By
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. ...

Labor of Love (Part 1 of 3)

By
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 ...
