More Pinterest Inspirations.

A month ago, I posted about some inspiration I've gotten from pinterest.  Looking back, I now realize that I haven't done any of those things - although I am on the look out for a clasping spaghetti holder.  (Any ideas where I can find one?  I've check Target, Wal-Mart, and Dollar Tree.  Saw some at a flea market but they were 5 bucks a pop!)

Anyway, I have some other inspirations from pinterest that I have actually followed through with, and I wanted to share those.  Makes me feel like I've done something productive.  First, pantry storage.

My version: 

I hung a shoe organizer - not made but bought from Target - onto the back of the pantry door.  It's great for holding baking items, jars, and other loose items like cereal bars and packages of pb crackers.  Josh even admitted to liking this addition today - although it does take some getting used to.  I love having this extra storage space.  It makes the rest of the pantry easy to organize, too!

Second - Pumpkin cookies with caramel icing.  Good gracious these things are amazingly wonderful, moist, and will be a regular during the fall season.  Nom, nom, nom.

The Inspiration

My version:

I love the messy frosting.  The cookies are good by themselves.  Just good, not outstanding.  But the frosting...oh the frosting.  It makes these cookies irresistible!  If you click the link above for the recipe, the originator suggest flattening out the top of the cookies with a glass, which I did not do - thus the extra messiness of mine.  I will try to remember to do that the next time I make these.  I also added chocolate chips to half the batter, and those are even better than the others.  Might try white chocolate chips next time.
