Mr. Clean for your toilet bowl?

This idea has been everywhere on Pinterest!  It's so easy, just pop a piece of a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser into your toilet bowl and - Voila! - No more gunky toilet bowl ring!  I knew I had to give this one a shot.  Mom never cleans the toilet bowl, it's always me, so if I could find a quicker way to do it, I'll take it!

So essentially, you just cut off a piece of a Magic Eraser, and throw it in your toilet bowl over night.  Then, come morning, the Magic Eraser will have sucked up all the gunk.

Sound too good to be true?  That's because it is.  I was so hopeful!  But it did nothing for my toilet bowl!  No gunk was gone, and now I had to fish out some waterlogged sponge out of the toilet bowl.. EW.  That's worse than just scrubbing the gunk!

So I'd say pass on this one guys!

Next up I'm hoping to make some brownies!  Hopefully that post will be up by Tuesday at the latest.  On Tuesday I'm also going on an all day shopping trip with my mother to IKEA! And Pier 1 Imports! And wherever else our feet take us! :)

Super Protein Parfait

Alright, I'll admit it, this post is not a Pinterest copy.  This is a delicious meal that I decided to make one day as I wanted some protein after going to the gym.  What I really wanted was some of Blogilate's Banana Pancakes, but, after I chopped up the banana I realized I didn't have eggs.  So this left me with chopped up bananas and a grumbling tummy.  I thought I could make a parfait, with the greek yogurt, but I've got to be honest here.  I don't really like greek yogurt that much!  It's just so bitter!  I ussually put some stevia in it to make it a little tastier.  Then I was thinking that I wished Nutella was healthy and that I could put that on my bananas.  THEN IT HIT ME.  Chocolate protein powder... in my greek yogurt?!  So I did it.


Alright, so it doesn't look terribly appetizing, but I swear it was!  A quick and easy snack/meal with a whopping 39 g of protein.  That's 86% of my protein intake for the day (If not exercising my protein is 45g a day.  I use MyFitnessPal to figure out the changes when I do exercise - Add me! )  

But then the next day (Tuesday)  I had to do something even fancier.  I had to go to the next step.




Now that looks tasty!  Same thing, I put 1 scoop of chocolate flavoured protein powder in with 3/4 cup of greek yogurt.  Only this time I added a strawberry layer, a banana layer, and raspberry topping.  Yum!  

You don't have to do just chocolate either!  Today I switched it up and did raspberry protein powder, and put it in a mason jar to bring to school with me.  This may be a new staple in my diet!

Breakfast Quinoa

If you haven't tried breakfast quinoa, you need to, right now!  Seriously, I'll just sit here and wait while you go pick up some quinoa.

..Back yet?  Good.  This recipe is so easy, so tasty, and makes enough for you have leftovers!  All you need is

  • 2 cups of milk (I used soy)
  • 1 cup of quinoa
  • 3 tbsp of brown sugar
  • 1/8 tsp of cinnamon
  • blueberries
Seriously does that not sound delicious?!  This is a protein packed breakfast that you won't even know is healthy!!






This made four servings, which I put in my handy mason jars and quickly devoured :)

I think I might do some baking soon, I'm just so stressed about life right now, I need to bake to unwound!  And with all the fall baking goodness on Pinterest right now, I shouldn't have too hard a time finding something I want to make!  Though deciding on one thing may prove stressful!

Recipe from Martha Stewart.
