Pinterest-a-thon

So a friend of mine came up with a challenge: actually TRY some of the brilliant ideas we pin! So I accepted the challenge: do ten things you pinned before September. Well, I’ve done two things so far. Well, I’m sure I’ve done more, but never bothered to check it out. :) Okay, so here are the two I have bother to document.

Pinterest 1 out of 10:

Pumpkin Cupcakes. Here’s the pin. I’ve actually made these twice. Once as regular sized cupcakes, and once as mini-cupcakes. Both delicious!

Nutella cookies. I’d give you the pin, but my computer couldn’t pull up the link, so I’ll just tell you about it.

P1000535So mine are gluten-free because I had some rice flour I needed to use up, but you can use regular flour. Basically you mix a cup of nutella, a cup of flour and an egg together. Roll the cookies into balls and squash down with your palm (it makes them a little thicker than if you smush them with the bottom of a glass). Bake at 350 for 6-7 minutes, and bada-bing, bada-boom: COOKIES! I even mixed some peanut butter into the last half of the batch. I’m a BIGGER fan of the peanut-butter-nutella cookies. Jake is so-so about both of them.
