A little Change in Direction

I am sorry to admit that I am getting a little sick of muffins. I am having a hard time finding recipes that inspire me so I am going to start posting about the other things I am cooking.

The other day I wanted to do some pudding paint with the girls but I didn't have any pudding mix. I decided to look up a recipe and just see how hard it is to make. I can't believe how easy, cheap and good it is! I will never go back to a pudding mix again. Also I found that it made for better paint, the color was more vibrant and opaque compared to the last time I used a mix and the colors were kind of translucent.
