My husband and I have a little inside joke about being internet famous with blogs and such and how that compares to being really famous. Well, this weekend, the two worlds collided because I got to hang out with a blogger who is actually really famous thanks to her amazing new book.

{Guest Post} Edible Cookie Dough Recipe
Guest posts didn’t stop just because the calendar flipped from August to September. Today, Susan from The Royal Cook, is here to share her edible cookie dough recipe.
**************************************************************************
Hello Just Us Four readers! I’m Susan from The Royal Cook and am thrilled to be guest posting here today! I am a mommy to 5 (yes 5!!) and in my spare time (ha ha!) I blog about what comes out of my kitchen.
My kids, especially my girls, can’t seem to get enough edible cookie dough. I make it for them at least once a week, if not once a day! For those of you who are not huge chocolate fans (is there really such a thing?!?), so aren’t really into my Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, try out this Edible Sugar Cookie Dough. And even if you are a huge chocolate fan, still try it out. It’s delicious! My 12 year old and her bestie have decided they like it even better than Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. That’s pretty big. Especially if you’ve ever seen the way they devour the stuff!
I’m pretty sure sprinkles make everything taste better. 🙂
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon orange extract
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
Combine sugar, butter, vanilla, orange extract and milk. Mix well. Add flour, baking soda and baking powder and mix until combined.
Recipe from The Royal Cook – an original!
You can find me on Facebook and Pinterest. I’d love to have you follow along!
Pinworthy Projects Link Party #80
Whoa…this little link party of ours is getting up there in age. No worries though, it still parties like your hip grandma after a little too much egg nog during the holidays. Definitely no early bed times and warm milk for the people hanging around here on Fridays. We like to keep it hoppin’ and full of awesome crafts, recipes and DIY projects.

Meal Planning: What to Cook Wednesday
Good morning! Are you having a great week? Mine has definitely been hectic. Getting back into the routine of school and sports and PTA can be really tough. I find I have less and less time to sit down and spend so much more time on the go. All the rushing about definitely makes meal planning more difficult too.
This brings me to a question I want to post to you as readers: Does What to Cook Wednesday help/interest you? Or would you rather see it replaced with a different type of content post {recipe, craft, DIY, etc.}? Let me know in the comments please!
For now, I will share with you a few things on our list for the upcoming week. This month has really brought a heavier focus on clean eating in our house. While we are far from perfect {ahem, is birthday cake clean?}, we definitely try to make most of our meals as clean as possible to focus on a healthier lifestyle with more nutritious foods. I’ve always loved quinoa but can now say that the taste/texture of brown rice is really starting to grow on me too.
Anyhoo, here are a few things you’ll find being cooked up in our kitchen.

Ten Last Minute Back to School Ideas
Gah…it is September! And our kids head back to school in like a day. How did that creep up so fast? Well, I saw fast but, if you are a “good” blogger, you probably started thinking about back to school in June…it is just what we tend to do. Then, there are the people like me who get so swamped with general life and wake up to realize school starts in a few days. You still want the cool ideas for your kids to celebrate back to school time but you just need stuff that takes a lot less time. Don’t worry…I’ve got your back.
