Pinterest Cooking

Before I begin talking about the best recipes I've ever made, let me just share with you a new love of mine...
I have loved the natural peanut butter for awhile now, but notice this jar has 2 wonderful little words attached to the end..."with honey." I actually got this jar on accident the last time we needed peanut butter. One of the best things ever done by accident.....one of them. :) Anyway...so on with my post....

Pinterest has sort of become a new love in my life. It all started with mere pinning. And then I ventured into the world of trying the recipes. And OH. MY. GOODNESS. Almost everything I've tried has been delish. Here are two of my favorites (and the only 2 I could easily find a pic of)...
#1. Pineapple BBQ Chicken...

Basically all it is...a bottle of BBQ sauce, a can of pineapple, some frozen chicken breasts, and a crockpot for 8 hours. You serve it over rice and boom (and I added some stir-fried broccoli)....easiest meal I've ever made, and quite yummy too.
#2. My all time new favorite...Sweet and Sour Chicken and Fried Rice...
Oh my word. In case some of you haven't seen on Facebook, I am totally obsessed with Chinese food this pregnancy. AND, we don't have a good Chinese place any closer than 45 minutes from where we live. So, I needed to do something. And once again, I went to Pinterest and found this. It was oh, so yummy. There will be a LOT of this for the next 5 1/2 months. The egg roll was not homemade, however since then I have found an egg roll recipe and went out and purchased all the necessary ingredients. I'll let you know how it goes. I'll also be making egg drop soup soon too. Ok enough about Chinese...it's making me hungry.
Some other Pinterest meals I've made have been...
-Taco Cupcakes..(Very good the night of, but not so good left over)
-Mini Lasagnas...(Very good...haven't had the left overs yet, so not sure)
-Crock pot Chicken Fajitas...(Delicious...very messy...and very good left over)
-Chick-fil-A Chicken Nuggets...(Very good....not quite Chick-fil-A nuggets, but I think after making them a few times I could get it closer)
I have also tried a cookie, oreo, brownie bar..made by a friend off of Pinterest (those are delicious)....and will soon be making...
-Burbon Street Chicken (I'm very optimistic about this)
-Chicken Tortilla Soup (...This too)
-Oreo Poke Cake (Seriously can anything with oreos be bad)
Ok...so there you have it....MAKE PINTEREST MEALS! You won't regret it! :) Happy Leap Day!

If you are loving chinese and like dumplings then you should try Ling Ling Potstickers, Chicken & Vegetable Dumplings. They are really good and taste great and have very few calories. However the sauce is loaded with sodium, so be careful.

Love,
