Week in Review 7/22/12

Hope you are all set for a great weekend!  I get my washer and dryer hooked up today.  There is a counter in the way, so my top loading washer won’t fit.  My husband and FIL are going to get rid of the counter top, and move in my stuff.  Then I can do laundry again!  I hate doing laundry, but after more than a week of not having access to a machine, I have LOTS to do.  Should be a very productive weekend.

Here is what I was up to this week:
Dark Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter – Erin from Spiffy Cookie guest posted for me, and made this amazing spread
Oatmeal Breakfast Cookie – My new favorite breakfast.  Tastes like a cookie, but is  a healthy breakfast in less than 5 minutes
Carnita Pizza – Quick and fun pizza.  Leftover Pork Carnitas are turned into something different for dinner.
Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Vinaigrette – Vinaigrette using sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil.  Great for a salad for a marinade.
Cookie Butter Swirl White Chocolate Chip Brownies – Rich and fudgy brownies with white chocolate chips and a Cookie Butter swirl.

Here are a few things I bookmarked this week:
Crispy Herb Shrimp with Chive Aioli by Tracey’s Culinary Adventures – I need more shrimp recipes!  This looks like something the whole family will love.  Crispy, lots of flavor, but still healthy.
Cookie Dough Ice Cream Pie by Cait’s Plate – This looks incredible!  Perfect for summer, and one of our all time favorite ice cream flavors – Cookie Dough!
Cannoli Cones by Pass The Sushi – Good Cannoli’s can be hard to come by.  This takes the best part and puts it front and center.  No more soggy pastry. YUM!
Raspberry Mint Mojitos by Eat Yourself Skinny – So refreshing and pretty!  I could go for one of these this weekend!
Graham Cracker Chocolate Chip Muffins by How Sweet Eats – Muffins are my favorite, this is such a fun flavor.  Can’t wait to make these with my 7 year old, he will flip!

Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great weekend
