DIY: What I have been up to!

I feel like I have been missing. I don't get a chance to truly blog these days.  I have been working various temp jobs during my off days which means I work full 6-7 day weeks.  I actually enjoy the temp jobs so I am not complaining. It just doesn't leave me with much energy at the end of the day.  Atleast not mental energy.

But I wanted to show you some things that i have been working on lately. Most of these are from the weekend, but a couple are from the last 2 weeks.  If you want the recipes, let me know.  I'll link where I can but I have made some variations to most of these.

Cast Iron Pizza: I saw the idea on Pinterest, but I modified it significantly. I would normally be all up for making my own crust but it has to sit for 2 hours and it was a last minute decision.  I bought canned uncooked crust.  Grated some Mozzarella cheese and sprinkled goat cheese on top of that.  Then i grilled up some fried onions on my cast iron griddle.  And placed those on top. MMM.  Then I heated the pizza on the stove top (at high) for 3-5 minutes. Then I placed the skillet in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the crust was golden brown and cooked through.  This was an amazing dish. You can vary your ingredients to your liking.

CHallenge 1, Day 11: Chocolate Chunk Peanut Butter Cookies

Are you ready for this?  You might think that you are, but you can't be.


If you are on a diet, or have moderation issues, like me, then this recipe is NOT FOR YOU! DO NOT GO ANY FURTHER


I AM WARNING YOU!


These are amazing and they will destroy your life.... but you will be smiling as the ship goes down.

I know, most of my stuff has been much more healthy then this, but I couldn't resist.  Look at it!  Its an ooey gooey mess of chocolate and peanut butter.

Challenge 1, Day 3: Granola Bars

I've been a little behind in posting lately.  I have been working on the recipes but i just haven't posted... Not sure why.   I know you have been chomping at the bit just waiting for my next recipe...  (yes, that is sarcasm)

I thought for Day 3, i would post my granola bars.  My roommates sister gave me a recipe about 6 months ago.  Since then we rarely don't have granola in our home.  I change it up a lot.  It barely looks like the original recipe.  This week she gave us a brand new adjustment that changes it drastically. 

The great thing about this recipe is that you can change the basic ingredients and amount to your own tastes.  

The problem with listing this recipe is that its so subjective that its hard to know what to put.... Oh well. Here we go!
