How-To: Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies


Here's a little something about me: I am a baked goods fanatic.  Seriously, I could scarf down one of everything behind the Panera counter any day of the week.  So, since my obsession du jour this week has been homemade chocolate chip cookies, I finally caved and satisfied my craving this weekend.  The only thing is that our fridge is pretty bare right now and I realized after pulling all of my ingredients out that I did not have any eggs.  Not to worry! A quick Google search and a few recipe modifications later and I had the perfect recipe for eggless chocolate chip cookies. The substitute: yogurt! The best part is that without even trying, I think I managed to bake the best tasting, healthiest, chocolate chip cookies I've ever had.  Starchy, chocolatey, and healthy? I think I'm in love.

Meet Our Green Side Table


Remember several weeks back (or maybe a month, but who's really keeping track...) I decided to paint an old side table and put it somewhere in the house? Well, I finally did it and the end result is perfection!  After just a few days of coming home from work and applying several coats of paint, we now have a super cute bright green side table in our living room! I love the pop of bright color that the table adds to our living space.

The before shot. I forgot to get a picture before applying primer to the top. You can imagine what it looked like though... same dingy brown color.

After the first coat of primer. The shelf on the bottom tested what little patience I have.  And, I had to turn it over to get to the bottom of the legs.  I did this both on the second coat of primer and the second coat of green paint.

My husband nearly passed out when he saw my color choice :) 

After my first coat of paint. Again... must. demonstrate. patience.

And, the final product!
