SLIME fun!!

Owen and I made THIS slime after his doctor's appointment Monday. It was a big, fun, messy hit! I was unable to find the liquid starch that is called for in the original post, but I did find a non-aersol spray starch at Target on clearance for $1.60. It sounded like liquid in the bottle, so I figured I would try it :-) I have nothing to compare it to, but my slime turned out, so I think it worked just fine. The original post also calls for 1.5 cups each of the clear glue & the liquid starch. I just used 5 oz (1 bottle of glue) of each & we had plenty to play with. You do have to get in there & really work it & mix it up with your hands to create the slime. Definitely a grown-up step, because the food coloring will end up all over your hands. I didn't like the smell of the starch, but it seemed to lessen the more I worked with it.

As you can see, Owen loved the slime & played with it for over an hour! A winner for me :-)

More Pinterest Recipes

Since I had success with the last few Pinterest recipes I made, I decided to try a few more.

I made THIS cucumber, tomato, dill salad inspired by Martha. It was delicious. The best review came from Owen, who said he LOVED it & would eat it every day! Sounds like a winner to me.

I made THIS chicken, potato & veggie dish for dinner. The original pin suggested green beans (fresh or frozen) but said any green veggie would do. I decided to try it with fresh green beans and fresh broccoli.

It was SO easy & very yummy! DH has already requested it again. Another winner :-)

Pinterest Day in the Kitchen

I decided to have a Pinterest day in the kitchen & try out some of the recipes I have been pinning.

First I made THIS strawberry greek yogurt bread. It was a little heavier than I would prefer, but still yummy. I would make it again.

Next, I made some corn on the cob using THIS easy method. It was so easy & turned out perfect!

Since the oven was already on, I tried THESE potatoes. They were delicious & we will definitely be adding them to our rotation!

Of course we needed some dessert, so I tried THESE s'more crossiants. I was a little bit disappointed that the marshmallows didn't melt better & have more of a taste presence. But, everyone seemed to enjoy them so I'm sure we will have them again.
