Not so once a month meals...

 During a conversation I had with my friend Amanda the other day we discussed once a month cooking. Well actually she told me all about it while I watched her do her cooking for the month. I was intrigued and thought I might try my hand at this once a month cooking because as you know I eat out way too much. However today as I sat down to plan my meals (and cruise pinterest) I was reminded of all the great meals I had yet to try. The recipes I had pinned, but never found the time to make. So I got to thinking what if I did something different. What if instead of once a month cooking I make a 14day meal plan that includes all those recipes I've been wanting to try. With some desserts thrown in. Of course I should actually call it a challenge because I'm lazy. And just so you know I will gladly have people over if you want to join me. Just choose the meal and let me know.

I'm going to admit something. I hate cooking. But I love Pinterest and all the great ideas and recipes. So who knows if my breakfast's keep on consisting of delicious meals like these sugar cookies bars I might just have found my new hobby. The pictures don't do it justice so let me describe it for you. The frosting consisted of 4c of powdered sugar, a half a cup of butter, vanilla and shortening all whipped together in yummy goodness and topped with sprinkles. And the crust was a sugar cookie base (made from scratch) with tons of sugar and butter for those of us looking to add a few pounds.

Yep, delicious, fattening and oh so good. This is the kind of new years resolution I can stick with; make or bake the items I pin on pinterest. So far I have made Coca Cola cake (not impressed), peanut butter cake (decadent), bacon pancakes (must I say anything else) and a spaghetti casserole that was unbelievably good. I think this is one social media site my husband doesn't mind me being on, but my bottom my have another opinion.
