Dandelion Flames

This photo has circulated around Pinterest:

A flaming dandelion sounds pretty cool! So in the name of science and well this blog I tested it! Here are my results!

It smells really horrible, it does not make such pretty colors, and it burns really fast! Oh well.

Pin-myth busted!!

Egg-Free Cookie Dough

Today's pin-test is one every woman craves at one point or another. Egg-free cookie dough!! This is strictly for eating, not for baking. The blog says that it was from a recipe for cookie dough icecream.

• This is amazing
• It's easy
• It's risk-free cookie dough 

I use whole wheat flour instead of regular it makes it a little grainy but I really don't mind that one bit. I can only eat a little bit of this at a time, it's rather rich. 

Korean Beef

Today's pin-test is this one Korean Beef. The pin I saw said cheap, easy, and super flavorful...all things I'm good with.

• It came together really quick 
• It was all ingredients I had on hand
• It tasted amazing!

I left out the pepper flakes due to DH not liking things spicy. I'm tempted to add mushrooms to this that would be a great way to bump up the veggie content! 

I definitely recommend this one!

Pin-Test: Bathtub Cleaner

Natural cleaners are all the rage these days and who doesn't mind not sniffing all those chemicals? So when I saw this Pin I thought it was worth a try. It claims that if you mix equal parts dish soap and heated vinegar, spray it on your tub and leave it for an hour you won't have to scrub at all to get the dirt off.

I didn't think to get a before picture but here is the after...


















Nice shiny bathtub! The pin says to use the blue Dawn soap but I used my off brand clear dish soap and it worked just fine. I still had to put a little bit of elbow grease into it but I think that may have been because I ran out when I got to the 2nd bathtub so I didn't get enough coverage. I'll try a cup of each instead of 1/2 next time.

A definite Pass for this pin.
