Pinterest #31 Skinny Chicken and Brocolli Alfredo

This was a tasty treat. I still don't care for Greek yogurt. Still looking for a brand that won't taste "gritty" to me. That was my only problem with this recipe. Even when the yogurt was all cooked in it still tasted "gritty" 
But all in all a nice change for diet food. 

Pinterest #30 Skillet Lasagna

So pleased to find a great tasting easy lasagna that is low in calories and not completely vegetarian. Now my version turned out to have a little more calories per serving but still decent in calorie count. 
My Jaycie loved it so much she ate 3 servings!  Always a plus when the kids eat it! 

Pinterest #29 Muffin Tin German Pancake

These turned out great. A couple that didn't "bowl" shape but still tasted great. 
It was nice having a German pancake that you didn't have to tear apart. Your own perfect serving size was a plus. 

Pinterest #28 Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken

Yum. Yum. Yum. 
I have already made these twice. So good and so easy. The kids even liked it, which why wouldn't they. A slightly sweet chicken. Of course kid friendly. 
My favorite part is that they are very low in calories and not your traditional spiced chicken to stay healthy. And no complicated ingredients to buy. 
Greatly recommend them.

Pinterest #27 make your own curiously strong mints

This is an interesting project. Very simple just very time consuming. I think I need to do it again when I have more time. Maybe. 
It was nice to make my own flavor and know I am not adding any strange chemicals to them. But the gum paste is hard to work with. Well, just a little. And trying to make them a uniformed size was difficult for me. Mainly because I didn't have the time or patience for them. 
These get better as time goes by to make them more like a mint. 
For the most part I think it is worth buying them pre made. But if you want to try them by all means this is a great one to try. 

Pinterest #26 Ruffle Bottom Onsie

Can you say "so damn cute!"  I just loved these and so easy to make!  Now my little one can run around this summer in a cute one of a kind Onsie. 
Pics to follow.

Pinterest #25 galaxy play dough

This one was so quick and easy. And it turned out so beautiful. I found the black food coloring at Walmart in the baking section. I was a little worried that it wasn't big enough because of the instructions and picture in the original post. But it turned out perfect. Only down fall is that the glitter gets everywhere. So if you let the kids play with it be prepared for glitter mess remnants. 
The kids love it!  Will be doing it again.
