Pinned. Did. Done. 1/19 (and a winner!)

It's been awhile!  The last Pinned, Did, Done post was in July!



Since I'm still regularly trying things I find on Pinterest, here's the latest batch of pins I've conquered.

Breakfast Oat Bran.  What can I say?  I like big bowls of mush for breakfast.  I eat oatmeal almost everyday and a hot breakfast trumps a cold breakfast.  Plus, I'm not allowed to buy cereal.  It ends badly with an empty cereal box a day or so later.  This oat bran is tasty.  I like adding just a bit of brown sugar and some almond butter.

Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha Latte.  Delicious.  Easy too.  

Coconut Vanilla Granola.  I burned this a little bit.  Also, I don't have fresh vanilla beans lying around because I'm not Ina Garten.  I used canola oil instead of coconut oil too. It still tasted good though.  The reason why I rarely make granola is because I eat it too quickly (see cereal reference above). This was gone in 3 days.

Peanut Butter Pupcakes.  You're going to think I'm crazy, but I kind of assumed this would be perfectly edible for human and dog alike.  Flour, peanut butter, honey? What's not to like?  I did not put the "frosting" on.  They, however, don't seem like something a human would like to eat, and the smell of them (think: pb and flour baked together) kind of nauseated me. They are definitely for dogs only and Scout-the-dog enjoyed his treat.


Clean-Eating Sweet Potato Casserole.  A healthy alternative to this sweet potato casserole my family makes each Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I liked it.  

Buffalo Chicken.  Shredded buffalo chicken is one of my new favorite things.  We put it on salads, on quinoa, in tortillas.  Try it.

Mason Jar Soap Dispensers.  I tend to half-ass crafts.  Which is why my dispensers aren't holding up as well as I'd like.  I put two of these together relatively quickly and Scott drilled the holes through the lids for me.

What have you been making from Pinterest lately?

  1. I love this post. I should do a few of these since I have actually tried a few of my pins.

    I've recently gotten into steel cut oats. I might try the oat bran!

  2. I've never made my own granola. And it is kind of expensive, even in bulk! I should try it.

  5. I always say I will make the dogs treats...and then I don't. This looks easy enough. I should just do it already.

  6. You should try buffalo cauliflower!

    Also, I bought vanilla beans to make a salted caramel cheesecake for Isaiah's birthday, and 2 beans set me back $18. There's a reason I usually use [fake] vanilla extract...

  7. I freaking love shredded buffalo chicken.

    I like vanilla bean paste, it kicks up the taste a lot and is not super expensive.
