Pinterest Food Find Reviews

I'm addicted to Pinterest, surprise! Who isn't ? Who doesn't love spending countless hours at the computer browsing pictures of food to make, homes you will probably never have, projects you will probably never get to, adorable puppies you will probably never have...because once they go on my carpet they are all of a sudden much cuter in the picture, and of course vacations you will never take...unless you hit the lottery. Or don't have kids.

This has helped my new years resolution so.much. You have no idea. My "Cook more!" resolution (that I probably should have never made-gaining too much weight this pregnancy!)

Anyway, it is so easy to find and "pin" (save) recipes, and there are so many good ones....sooooo many.......... it's like an amazing cook book that is so much easier to use than a cook book. Heaven sent.

I have made a handful of things from my pin board already- so I'm going to review them and let you know if it's worth the time making, and what tweeks (if any) I made.

Pasta Salad from here. I give it 4 out of five stars.

-Really easy to make. Boil the noodles, add ingredients, mix, chill and eat.

-It calls for Feta Cheese, I used feta. However, it either a) needs a different kind or b)needs mozzarella too. I'm just a cheese lover- so maybe you wont think the same.

Either way- we will be making this again in the spring/summer.

Skinny Tuna melt from here.

Quick, easy, yummy, and really low in calories! Five stars.

I didn't follow her recipe exactly, I used sara lee 45 calorie bread, kraft 60 cal sliced cheese, tuna (I made it the way I always make my tuna) and tomato.

Cinnamon bread from here.

4 out of five stars.

The recipe is sketchy, confusing. First batch didn't rise (my fault), second batch had huge air holes in it. It was good, if I was a better bread baker it probably would have come out better. I might try it again to see if I can get it perfect.

Baked oatmeal from here.

Will not try again. This recipe is too complicated, calls for too many things. It turned out like a bread, very thick and dry. I have found much better, easier ones to make.

Zesty penne from here.

Loved it, will be making it again. The most tedious part is cutting everything up, but it's worth it. Very good. Five stars.

Parmesan honey pork roast from here.

3 stars. It has more of a soy sauce/Asian taste to it. I wont make it again, it wasn't awful, but I'd rather try something else.

Homemade french vanilla creamer from here.

5 stars, will make again. Very good, but very "Strong". Had to use double the amount of milk.

Bacon chicken ranch pasta from here.

4 stars. Will make again. I'm not sure why the lady says its healthy, its a carb with bacon, sour cream and ranch. Just because it's low cals does not make it healthy.

Crock pot chicken tacos from here.

Five stars, love it. Will make it again very soon. So simple, so quick, SO good.

From here.

5 stars. Will not buy "chewy" or "granola" bars again! These are so easy, and SO GOOD! I'm making them again this week.

Apple sandwiches, had no link. (apples, pb, chocolate chips. Or you could use nutella, honey, raisins.)

5 stars, kids actually ate them. Will make again.

Baked cinnamon breakfast bites from here.

Five stars, melt in your mouth good. So easy and quick, I'd rather make these over than cinnamon bread! Will make again soon!

Nilla wafers, banana, pb, sprinkles from here.

3 stars. Very tedious and time consuming. They don't keep long (banana gets old, wafers get soggy). Cute, but I wont be making again.

Graham cracker, nutella, banana from here.

Five stars. Had these for snacks today, very good. Kids loved them, they were easy and healthy!

I will review more next week! I actually have a crock pot peach dump cake from P slow cooking as I type!
