Waffles?

My E LOVES Waffles.
She would eat them everyday for every meal if we would let her. 
I am always looking for new waffle recipes to try to change things up.  I just found the best waffles made from scratch over at campchef.com/blog.  I made mine at home rahter than out camping but they would be great on an outing!  Try my buttermilk syrup they are perfect together!!!
*We just got a Camp Chef and we love it.  If you are a camper (which I am now) this is a must!!!

How To Tie A Scarf

I don't know about you, but I love scarves.  While shopping with my friend, Jen K, she taught me the best way to tie a scarf.  I was going to do a tutorial on how to do it until I found this pic.
#5 is my favorite.

How To Remove A Grease Spot

This weekend The Mr and I were able to participate in a 24 hour cycling relay.  We had a blast.  As we were waiting for one of our riders to come in I brushed up against a bike and got a chain mark on the back of my favorite pants.
I was pretty bummed until I found out that Dawn dish soap not only
"takes grease out of your way", but it takes grease out of clothes!
I wish I had some pics but didn't think about taking one before I washed it! 
Just put a little soap on the grease spot and work it in, wash and, amazingly, it comes right out!  I am buying another bottle for my laundry closet.
Thanks, Trudy for this tip!!!

Pumpkin Cookie Recipe

Fall is my favorite time of year!  I love the chill in the air, the delish fall food, and football season.  I just hate the thought of snow in a few months.  Well, I found an easy and healthy pumpkin cookie recipe to go right along with the season.
I think it is a Weight Watchers one!
Mix a spice cake mix (just the dry ingredients) with a small can of pumpkin.  Add a handful or two of chocolate chips (I prefer white chocolate chips) and you are done.  Yep, just 3 ingredients.  Spoon them out on a cookie sheet and cook at 350 for 10-15 min.  I make mine a little bigger so I have to cook theme longer.  They are so moist.  It's hard to just eat one!  I have also made muffins from the same ingredients.  They are great for breakfast.

Bandana Dress

I am always looking for new things to make for my girls.  I found this darling dress made out of 2 bandanas and some ribbon.  Looks like this is a project for me!  It takes about 15 min, and the cost is around $3.
