egg free dairy free cookies!!!





I absolutely LOVE LOVE baked goods..but its hard for me to eat them because of my allergies :(...I am allergic to dairy and eggs among ALOT of other things. But with the very helpful tip from my friend, i made these egg free dairy free cookies. They are super healthy as well cuz they are made from oat and soy flour so they have a little bit of protein goodness in them as well. Instead of using butter, i used bananas and instead of using eggs, i used applesauce.

One batch i made with dark chocolate chips and toffee, and the other batch i went a little crazayy and made cranberry, coconut, macadamia nut, cinnamon cookies. they turned out a little more bready than what i had hoped for, but still had good flavor.

RECIPE:

Ingredients:
1/3 cup soy flour
2/3 cup oat flour
3 bananas
1/2 cup of splenda (or sugar)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup of applesauce
1/4 tsp of baking soda

Directions

1. pour the sugar and peel the bananas into a bowl and mix them together. mash the bananas till they look like melted butter
2. mix in the flour, vanilla extract, applesauce and baking soda (if you are making the cranberry ones, they mix in some cinnamon. i didnt measure it but just pour it as much as u want)
3. mix in the cranberries, coconut, chocolate, toffee whatever u want
4. put in the pan
5. preheat oven to 350 and bake for 12 min
6. cool for 5

yay for dairy free/egg free baked goods!!!

more floral madness

this headband is a little bit tighter without the fabric being scrunched up so we agreed that it was best to be worn like this.
isnt she prettty?? this one was a little looser and the fabric was scrunched up. it looks very hippie-ish/axel rose and im obsessed.

rocking floral headphones :)



My best friend visited me from NYC!! chee! so excited to see her...love how she is rocking the headphones, a Stanford shirt, and the Hawaiian flag!!!!

These days I have been obsessed with this floral print. I just had had a pair of boring headphones lying around and I decided to cover it with this print. result=love love love...

foldable chair~

my first creation ever! we had to take a woodshop class back in 6th and 7th grade. it was so much fun, but scary to work with all the heavy machinery. i mean we werent kidding around. we used the mechanical saws and ALL the heavy duty wood machinery.

This was prob the easiest diy i have ever done. I just got a piece of black fabric, sewed it together to make one big tube, then got a rotary cutter and cut fringes!

i love stanford football

hehehe...you can see my beat cal boot....

So for the final game of the 2009 season where we played against Notre Dame, my best friend and I decided to make sweaters for the game! Was a pretty easy DIY after we decided exactly what to do. It took us about 2 hours to decide what color we wanted the sweater to be. We are probably the two most indecisive people EVER so choosing between grey, white, black, and red was probably the toughest decision that we had to make that day....hahahah...but im glad we used the red sweaters :)

we used stencils and fabric paint to write "stanford football", and we used a iron on sequin heart.
i would highly recommend that you iron on the heart before you paint on the words cuz we didnt know at the time how long it took for the fabric paint to dry! but steam and blowdrying it helps a bunch

end result=LOVE LOVE LOVE

diy iphone dock!


put carboard on the back for support...spray painted that gold...i like this color combo..well..i didnt really have any choice because these were the only colors that i had...haha
yayyy!! i always wanted an iphone dock! so i just made one out of a tin box that i had but never used. It was pretty easy to make..just made a hole in the top to put the charger through. Then i spray painted the tins and drew a robot.
