My roommate and I have been seeing a trainer now for about three weeks now and we've been trying out some <i>Clean Eating</i> recipes. We had this one last night and I just had to share with you.

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. I just wanted to send you all warm wishes during this time of year. I hope Santa was good to you and that you all remembered the true reason for the season. I don't know if I'll have time to blog much this week so I want to wish you all a very Happy New Years as well.<br />

</ul><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Directions:</span></b><br />
<ul><li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Step one: </b>Make the cupcakes as you normally would.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you make them, do not overfill, about half way is fine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You want them to be flat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If they puff up after being baked, use a serrated knife to cut off the top.</span></div></li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Step two:</b> Color the frosting skin color….add one drip of the copper food coloring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes copper…I know it sounds crazy, but it actually works. If you put more than one drip then it’ll turn a pinkish color.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div></li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Step three: </b>After the cupcakes have cooled off, start icing them.</span></div></li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Step four: </b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Make the eyes…I used chocolate chips and inserted them upside down for the eyes.</span></div></li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Step five:</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Insert the pacifier into the cupcake and you’re good to go.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can always get brown gel and make hair if you’d like, but I just did mine this way.</span></div></li>
</ul><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">And tadaa...you have baby face cupcakes!!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> For this being my first time making these, I thought they turned out pretty good. Plus, the Mom can keep the pacifiers later on to use...perfect! </span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIrrZ7OLxRt5z0K1sNN4uaGvvElH1DjxG1cXQbeVMB5duP2RUoUmyTed7zQvc0vkh0elgDlEYVreI_ZBxpLq7Ez1isKmwn1mCDepT2IkMeOAUIoJ8H-i8djQElZhNlWILye2Rk7HbUKnQ/s1600/IMG_1190.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hda="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIrrZ7OLxRt5z0K1sNN4uaGvvElH1DjxG1cXQbeVMB5duP2RUoUmyTed7zQvc0vkh0elgDlEYVreI_ZBxpLq7Ez1isKmwn1mCDepT2IkMeOAUIoJ8H-i8djQElZhNlWILye2Rk7HbUKnQ/s320/IMG_1190.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you have any questions, I’ll be happy to answer them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And if you decide to make these adorable little things…please let me know…I’d LOVE to see them.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><strong>R<span style="font-size: x-large;">G</span>L</strong></span></span></div>Lauren Honeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03590763148635569325noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6229697895396370717.post-59959077808154727832011-11-17T13:11:00.005-06:002011-11-17T13:17:21.440-06:00Onesie Bouquet<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7ZFahge13Hq3pqH98fiLnVCwI03ySmzvLOKW2pePtVWigjvVz3vrqCMBboJ_Cu5wXehY6XYoJP77HSbF4Be-dt59axZHODrLfGTXRWe0tAd3DNlTrNF79QDeavwCn-yKJDPQao3wfhLQ/s1600/IMG_1193.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hda="true" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7ZFahge13Hq3pqH98fiLnVCwI03ySmzvLOKW2pePtVWigjvVz3vrqCMBboJ_Cu5wXehY6XYoJP77HSbF4Be-dt59axZHODrLfGTXRWe0tAd3DNlTrNF79QDeavwCn-yKJDPQao3wfhLQ/s400/IMG_1193.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As I mentioned in my</span><a href="http://laurengeiger.blogspot.com/2011/11/baby-shower-giftstreats.html"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">previous post</i></b></span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">, we had a baby shower last week for one of the girls in my department at work and I wanted to make something crafty yet useful for the shower.

<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Clear rubber bands/Yarn/Ribbon tape. </b>This will hold the onesie together after you make it into a flower.</span></div></li>

Hope you’re having a great week. I don’t know about yall, but I’ve been SUPER addicted to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Pintrest.com</b> lately. If you haven’t heard of this website, then <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">shame on you</i>! Haha, j/k….but it’s seriously the best thing EVER! I was on there last week trying to get ideas about what kind of dessert to make for the MTSU Homecoming tailgate (I ended up making some S’mores Pops which were a MAJOR hit and will do a post on them as soon as I find my camera cord) and continued to see all of these ADORABLE Halloween/Fall Treats. After seeing all of these, it really makes me want to throw a party so I can make some of them. They look SOOOO easy and inexpensive….I just couldn’t get over how stinkin cute they were and wanted to share. I’m not sure if any of you have a Halloween/Fall party you are hosting or attending, but if you do, then here are some ideas. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Hope you enjoy!</div><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><b><a href="http://3kidsandus.com/2011/candy-corn-dipped-marshmallow-pop-treats/">Candy Corn Dipped Marshmallow Pop Treats</a></b></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMazrp2geQJYJm5YmSrnAZv4EOudojfL-dp18j0oqKWlkxg_9aGXWea2HWt7l1MIMu8sRSEAdCqnSxqzFrkt2yIs7ue2pY4d1dAAzaQGHUbyM1te33lhcz987TbNR7WJkdFExhXkzhHKI/s1600/candy-corn-dipped-marshmallow-pops.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMazrp2geQJYJm5YmSrnAZv4EOudojfL-dp18j0oqKWlkxg_9aGXWea2HWt7l1MIMu8sRSEAdCqnSxqzFrkt2yIs7ue2pY4d1dAAzaQGHUbyM1te33lhcz987TbNR7WJkdFExhXkzhHKI/s320/candy-corn-dipped-marshmallow-pops.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></span></span><br />

Haha. I’ll try not to leave out any major things. Ready….Set….Go:</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b>Background Information:</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I had been planning this “Mother/Daughter” Vaca to South Carolina all summer for me and my Mom with my roommate Claudia and her Mom. Now…for those of you who don’t know, I was born and raised in the great state of South Carolina and moved to Nashville a little over a year ago….well, Claudia and her Mom had never been to the SC so I decided that it would be the perfect opportunity to go and show them my home state. I had everything planned out down to a tee of what all we would do during our time in SC. We were flying into Charleston on Monday and doing all the touristy things there (take them to the Markets downtown, walk and shop down King Street, do a horse and carriage ride, go eat great seafood that night, etc) then on Tuesday, head to Myrtle Beach and stay there for a couple of days and do some touristy things….then go to my hometown (Lugoff) on Thursday afternoon and have a party at my house and have tons of family and friends over that night…then my Mom was going to drive all of us back to Nashville and stay a couple of nights here with me.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Well, a couple of days before the trip, my Mom called and said that Bobby (my brother) was able to take off work and come with us on our trip as well….so I was even more excited. When Garrett (my boyfriend) heard that Bobby was going, he seemed pretty bummed about not being able to go on the trip b/c he originally thought it was a “mother/daughter” trip…plus he had to stay and work anyway b/c he was about to start law school.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Ok…I think that’s enough background knowledge. Moving on to the actual proposal……</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">So we get into Charleston around 11ish and my Mom and Bobby pick us up at the airport. YAY! We’re finally there! We get in the car and head to California Dreaming to eat lunch. This restaurant is one of my family’s favorites…not necessarily for the food…but it is on the Charleston Harbor and the scenery is just beautiful there.</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
