Pin It And Do It Challenge: The Catch Up Post

So I've been making some of my pins but been lax on posting them. So here's what've been up to.

I pinned these cookies because they looked good. I made them for 2 different parties.

Here are mine:

They are delicious. Mine were flatter than hers. She does mention that humidity affects the cookies and make them flatter.

It quickly became fall around here. I love making soup. I had my eye on making this beef barley soup:

But I didn't like some of the ingredients. I left out the corn, bell pepper, and onion. But it was delicious anyway.

It made it tons. We had few bowls the day of and plenty of leftovers. I would definitely make it again.

I love roasted potatoes so when I spotted this recipe, I knew I had to make it.
Here's the original pin:

Here's mine:

So tasty. We really liked this one. It takes some time. It's not a weeknight dish but worth the effort on a weekend.

Plus the four other dishes I made, I did 7 pins this month. All food pins, no crafts pins :(

Pin It and Do It Challenge: No Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I pinned these cookies because it's always good to know how to make something when you are missing an ingredient. How many times have I run out of butter and wanted to make cookies? Now I know how.

Here are mine:

Absolutely delicious. I didn't even notice the lack of butter. I think the extra chocolate chips make it hard to notice the lack of butter.

Weekend Cooking: Chocolate & Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies

These cookies have it all. Chocolate. Peanut Butter. And Pretzels. Absolutely delicious and easy to make.

And here's how mine turned out:

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know I tend to not read the entire recipe before I set out to make something. In this case, I missed that I needed peanut butter chips, not straight up peanut butter. No matter, I melted 1/2 cup of peanut butter and dumped that in. As you can see some of the chocolate got melted. But it did not affect the taste. It was yummy. I would definitely make these again.
