Day 9 of Pinterest

Day 9...Day 8 was 7 days ago. Maybe more. But the rules have changed. You can read more about that on my homepage...Today I worked hard all day at my job. As hard as I could feeling as miserable as I did. My allergies that I haven't had since I've lived in New Mexico have come back and I am not happy about it! The timing is awful. The kiddos wanted something sweet. I've been wanting to make no bake cookies like my mom used to make for a while now and that's what I started out to make...Then I realized the kids had drank the last of the milk. I had my butter melted already and I thought about the recipe for marshmallow popcorn I had seen on Pinterest. I looked it up and sure enough it took 1/2 C butter just like no bake cookies and I also had everything else I needed. So I proceeded to melt butter, brown sugar, and marshmallows.
The recipe on Pinterest I have pinned says that you can use 2T of corn syrup OR honey. I used honey because guess what? We are out of corn syrup. I'm always out of one thing or another or several things. Once we are in the new house though, my main goal is to stock up on all of my baking and cooking essentials since we will finally have a pantry to fill! Next I poured the gooey mixture over a bag of microwaved popcorn I had poured in a bowl and mixed it all together. I then poured that onto a lightly greased cookie sheet and let it cool.   Then I ate way too much of it. The End.


Not really.  Not really the end I mean.  I really did eat way too much especially for someone who is on a low-carb diet and has been on a nine day streak without eating any refined sugars.  Oh well a little won't hurt too much as long as I get right back on track, right?  I'm a little plumper than I'd like to be so I decided to go low carb for a while.  I get my real cheat day on June 11th which is my birthday.  I'm being as good as I possibly can (the popcorn is just a little oops) so I can eat strawberry cake!  Then it will be right back to eating clean again. 

Until then I will just have to trust my family to be the taste testers!
