I think the majority of what I pin on Pinterest is FOOD! My pinboard devoted to recipes that catch my eye is spiraling out of control. I think I'll have to divide it into several categories!This week I chose several recipes to try out!
First up were Sugar Cookie Bars. I thought this was a brilliant idea, and I wish I'd thought of it myself. We love sugar cookies, but I find the hassle too much for everyday use. I do occasionally make roll-out cookies "drop" cookies instead, but this is a much better (and prettier!) idea.
Press your dough into a cookie sheet, bake, cut with a pizza cutter, and voila!
The recipe called for a 13x18 pan, but I used 11x17. A smaller size would work too, the dough just might not fit all at once.
I had some leftover frosting in the fridge, so I frosted a few and added organic sprinkles. They were fantastic! I did end up cutting the bars into smaller squares, though, before serving. They are rich!

A few days later we tried a new breakfast idea: eggs in bell pepper slices!
This was an easy way to add some veggies to breakfast, but I did not perfect the "prettiness" of the dish. I think the trick is thin slices that lie flat in the skillet.
The boys loved them, though, and I'm thinking we'll make them with green pepper for St. Patrick's Day!

Those sugar cookie bars look yummy and so easy. Will have to try them for our next tea time.
