Going Beyond the Pin

You know we all do it.  Log into Pinterest and go pin crazy with everything we see.  In your head your like "that is so cute" or "I can do that" or "one day I'll learn to sew."  I have hundreds of pins.  Some are for the future, but most of them are things I could actually be doing today.  So I decided to actually do something about my pins, and by do something I mean do them.  I haven't done much, but I have cooked...a lot.  Below are some of the pinterest recipes I've tried out lately and my honest opinions of them.  If your interested in the recipe just click on the link for each.

1.  Garlic & Lemon Chicken

 This was really good, but if you aren't a fan of lemon it probably isn't for you.  My chicken didn't cook up as nice as this picture, but that is probably because I covered mine with foil to keep the veggies from drying out.  The result was awesome green beans and potatoes, but the chicken was a little dry.

2. Limeade Pie (once you click on the link you'll have to scroll down to find the recipe).

I made this for a church function a few weeks ago.  It was AWESOME!  I'm a key lime pie lover and this tasted just like it.  Not to mention is was so simple to make.  You can also make variations for pink lemonade and so on.  Definitely a keeper for me.

3. Grilled Mozzarella with pesto, tomato, & avocado

I didn't really follow the recipe.  I mean its a grill cheese how hard could it be.  I simply just put the ingredients together and wallah!  I didn't have any avocado, so I can't comment on that part, but my sandwich was yummy.

4.  Roast

On the pin I repinned, one pinner had written "the most amazing roast ever."  I will agree.  It was delicious and so easy.  We LOVED it!

Up next on the pinterest recipes to try is zucchini fries.  I'll let you know how those turn out soon.

Now beyond the pin.  The following is not a pinterest recipe, but I thought I'd share it anyway.

5. Phyllo Chicken Pie

My mother in law gave me this recipe.  It's a Publix Apron meal and it was wonderful.  We loved it.  Definitely worth a try if you are looking for something new and delicious.
