Pinterest #34 Home made Body Butter

This turns out wonderfully. But very oily. It takes a while to absorb but leaves you feeling moisturized.

Also keeps skin soft and shinny. So if you want to show off those freshly shaved legs its perfect.  I think I will play with the recipe to see if I can get it less oily. 
All in all a keeper. 

Pinterest #33 maxi dress

I am very pleased with how this turned out. Don't you agree?!
So I went to Walmart and bought a $3.00 tank top and a $5.00 sheet. Now if I had done this right the first time it would have only taken me a couple of hours to do. But since I decided to sew the top and skirt together the wrong way so the top was inside out, I had to take an extra day to make the sash. 
So be more patient then I am and double check before you sew.

Pinterest #32 Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

OMG! I thought these where the bees knees! Hehe!  My family, not so much. Mostly because they were disappointed they weren't chocolate chip pancakes. :)
Very filling because of the oatmeal so two made the perfect serving size. 
I will be making these again. Even if it is only for me. 

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.
