Making It Count: Double Cookies and Cream Brownies

So I am joining Sarah and Pam for Making it Count! The goal is to make your time online count. That's right do those projects, recipes and other wonderful ideas you find online :)

 

I found this awesome recipe at Picky Palate. SO YUMMY :) I did make one small tweak; I doubled the recipe. An 8x8 pan just isn't enough. So I doubled the recipe, put it in a 9x13 pan, and cooked it for the full 30 min. PERFECTION!! The best part was that the Man Cub wanted to help. He loves helping in the kitchen and is really good about not eating while cooking!

Carefully Stirring!

Taking crushing the oreo's very seriously :)

you want some huh?

Pinterest Love - organized socks and Fudge Revel Bars

I'm back for another week of

my first project was really simple!! I hate matching socks ... who does really? I avoid the matching game by buy all white socks for the man cub and my husband, then they all get shoved into a sock drawer and they can pull any two out. This system wasn't working with my Chunky Monkey. There don't seem to be any plain white socks in his size :( So I end up digging around trying to find a match ... no good!! I found this awesome idea and knew that would work. My only problem was I shouldn't be using sharp things. So instead of safety pins I used paper clips. And viola!! Organized socks!

 

 


My baking experiment for the week were these yummy bars!!

First layer in the pan!!

on to the fudgy part. Realize I don't have condensed milk only evaporated milk. My not good at cooking brain thought they are the same right? ...

no they are not the same!! my fudgy part looks like poo water :( cryed a little inside while I dumped it down the drain.

 didn't want to waste the rest so I sprinkled it generously with Chocolate Chips!

doesn't look to bad!!

they weren't very desserty, so I added some vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, and whipped cream. Perfection!!

Looking foward to trying these again with the fudgy part!!

Pinterest Love - Brownies and an Oil Drip pan

I'm back for another week of

I feel like I have been trying so many new things!!  

My first pinning project was so simple I feel a little silly even blogging about it, but the Little Man Cub loves it! I  saw this pin and thought I could so make that :) Anyways I ran to a car supply store and bought a $10 oil drip pan and used some picture hanging Velcro strips, and done!!!

I need to put together some fun games, but for now the Little Man Cub stole my pictures off the refrigerator and has some colorful numbers from Grandma. 

My second project was to copy my mom. A few weeks ago she made some awesome brownies and I needed to try them out. I think I actually used a different recipe, but with the same delicious results!!

we forgot to take pictures of the finished product ... we were way to busy eating :)
