DIY Coaster

So this weekend was full of do it yourself projects... My husband and I have what we like to call a "junk" room or a "catch all". Anybody with me? This "junk" room is also known as our second bedroom. It's a room that has become our storage room, or one that holds the things we don't want to look at after moving in over a year ago. It was pretty bad (notice keyword: was). J's cousin came in town Friday evening and we were determined to make it as cozy as possible. We worked for a good 3 hours cleaning that room. But i'm glad to say we came out with a good, cozy room and about 5 DIY projects. I'd call that success! If you're ever going to come to our house, you'd see a lot of these types of projects.

So I know I haven't updated in some time now, but life has been crazy! In my previous post, we were getting ready for our cruise which was so much fun! We celebrated our first year of marriage together. I can't believe it's already been a year! The time has FLOWN by. Anyway, for our celebration of our first year we wanted to keep our gifts traditional - So for the first year, it's paper. Ha! So funny to me. I got creative and used the help of pinterest and made this little happy for my sweet, sweet husband.

Okay, so I realize I've done WAY too many recipe posts and this will maybe be the last one for a while. What can I say, I have found a love in cooking. I look forward to cooking - strange I know! I guess getting married and knowing I'm the one who provides the meals, is important to me. I love cooking for my husband! I get nervous cooking for other people, but I've not heard any bad comments yet, so that's a good thing.

Whoopie Pie Filling.

So I'm a huge slacker on this post because I didn't get a picture to show how awesome these whoopie pies looked in the end. I decided to go with the chocolate chip cookie dough (no eggs) rather than a butter cream filling or even a marshmallow cream only because I was craving some chocolate. Anyway, super easy to make and super yummy to eat! 

Whoopie Pies.

I'm obviously in some type of cooking/baking mood this morning and it's only 10a.m. So far, I have made pancakes for the hubs, before he left for work and now I'm currently working on Whoopie Pies! Like most of the recipes on here, I've never tried anything like this. We're going on a little road trip this afternoon and I wanted to take something special for the trip. So this past week I ran across the recipe Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Whoopie Pies and if you follow me on Pinterest you saw I had pinned the recipe from Cookies and Cups. I've been dying to make it since I pinned. If it's not any good, then I'll delete the pin and move on with my life. I know, sounds weird but I've been known to do it in the past... 

Anyway, on with the recipe.... I haven't made the filling yet, but the actual pie is to die for! So yummy. A little  richer than I expected but none the less, delicious. 

For the Whoopie Pie: 

I made my recipe a little different than the original.
