Confessions of a Pinterest Foodie (2)

Yep, I'm at it again. I love my pinterest. Seriously y'all! In case you missed my first "Pinterest Foodie Confessions" post, you can view it here.

Here is another round up of some of the favorites I've made from Pinterest. In no particular order. Click the pictures to view the recipes. Enjoy!

"Crescent Cinnamon Rolls" 

These were a HUGE hit in my house. My husband scarfed down 3, and my 3 year old daughter ate 2. Ariana and I made these together one morning while my husband was sleeping in. Great weekend breakfast!

 "Creamy White Chicken and Artichoke Lasagna" 

Yums! Nice change from plain old regular lasagna and it feels fancier! We added mushrooms to ours but other than that it was perfect!!

"Mini Spiced Chicken Burgers with Mint Greek Yogurt"

My burgers wouldn't stay together when I make these but I love them so much that I just sautee it like taco meat and fill my pita with it. Lots of cucumber and that amazing mint yogurt sauce and you've got a great summertime meal! Perfect with a mojito by the way! 

 "Jalapeño Popper Grilled Cheese" 

You feel more grown up while still enjoying childhood comfort food.

 "Oatmeal Lemon Creme Bars"

I never would have thought of creating this. The filling is SO SIMPLE yet so delicious! We were sad when these were all eaten.

 "Peanut Butter Popcorn" 

The name says it all. I made this first for my husbands birthday. For just the 2 of us we half this recipe and we also salt ours while it's cooling. We love it so much we've made it on several weekends since. Perfect for movie night!

 "Singapore Noodles" 

Pretty easy for "stirfriday" at our house. Love these rice noodles and the shrimp as always is a big hit at our house. 

 "Parmesan Roasted Potatoes" 

New favorite side dish for fish or chicken! 

 "Spicy Srirachi White Bean Dip" 

I had some srirachi from another recipe and wanted to find a way to use it. I found this recipe and I think I made it 2 times the first week! We loved it with pita chips. Just the right amount of heat and texture for a bean dip!

"Focaccia with Caramelized Onion, Tomato and Rosemary"

One bite and you'll love this grown up "pizza". I didn't make my own dough though, I had the pouch of pizza dough where you just add water but it still turned out good.

Confessions of a Pinterest Foodie

I've become a Pinterest  recipe addict. There I said it.

 Is there a word for that? I feel like there probably is but I'm not cool enough to know what I have become.

When I'm looking for a new recipe, I always go to Pinterest first. 

For breakfast with friends, Pinterest. 

For a birthday cake, Pinterest.

 For summer bbq ideas, Pinterest. 

I'm always adding new yums to my food love board.

Most of my trials have been good. Some were okay. A few were complete fails and we won't even go there.

But, I've found a few delicious favorites and I thought I would share them in case you were looking for some new food ideas.

Click the pictures for the recipes. Enjoy!

"Pina Coda Pops" 

These are easy and refreshing for the summer! We all loved them!

"Bloomin Onion Bread" 
Oh man, we made this as an appetizer one night and it is GOOD. 

"Creamy Coleslaw"
My first ever attempt at making coleslaw and I found this recipe. I halved it and it still made enough for us for dinner and leftovers.

"Cheesecake Fruit Dip"
Not your average fruit dip. This has kahlua in it  and it's the best fruit dip I've had. Delicious on strawberries, pineapple, and green grapes especially!

 "Blueberry Fluff Cake" 
2 ingredients - angel food cake mix and can of blueberry pie filling. Could this be any easier? Yummy too!

 "Black Bean Salad"
Black beans, fresh corn, red pepper, avocado and lime juice. I could eat just a bowl of this, it's that good. Definitely a keeper.

 "Quinoa Burgers"
Best non meat burgers I've EVER had. So delicious with yogurt sauce and we served it with the black bean salad above. This is so amazing I've already given the recipe to several friends.

 "Goat Cheese Pesto Pizza" 
I made this a few nights ago and it's now one of my favorite pizzas. Make your own simple pesto and throw on the toppings and boom. Gourmet pizza! Even our preschooler loved it!

 "Crockpot Ribs"
Finger licking good. Made these for my husbands birthday dinner and he was grinning ear to ear. These are better than any BBQ restaurant!

"Red Velvet Pancakes" 
Perfect for that lazy weekend where you sit around in your pj's and have family time.

2012 Bucket List

I have become addicted to Pintrest.

It's true, I have 29 boards and over 600 pins! From food to fashion to things that make me laugh, I've got a board for it!

One of my recent boards is one for things I want to do this year. I don't have everything on there but it was fun creating it and hopefully I can √ things off as I go along!

See what else is on my 2012 bucket list here.

Also, I want to take a moment to thank everyone who reached out after my last post. I didn't mean for it to come across as a pity post and I hope it didn't. Sometimes I think we see honesty and struggles as weakness but it just means we are human. And it's okay to say "Hey, I'm having a rough day". Thank you for all your kind and supportive words. Every comment, email and letter meant a lot to me!
