Pinterest

I, like pretty much every other woman on the planet, am addicted to Pinterest. This week alone, I have tried 3 or 4 recipes that I have pinned! I've also got lots of ideas for my one sisters baby shower that I'm throwing next month and I'm sure I'll find plenty of ideas for my other sisters wedding shower this summer. Up until now, I have only ever posted about the kids, but I thought I would change it up a bit and write little reviews of some of the things I've tried from there. I know this isn't an original idea at all and there are entire blogs dedicated to the successes and fails of pins, but since I had a very Pinteresty week, here goes. Of course I thought of doing this after I had made everything, so I didn't think to take pictures, but in future, if I continue to do this, I will try to include pictures.

Taco Pasta Bake
This one is a simple pasta bake but with taco seasoning and cream cheese. Pretty good, I would make it again. (Original Source)

Dorito Taco salad
Taco Salad made with Doritos. Yummy! So good and much less work and dishes than making tacos. I read some of the comments and made some adjustments to suit our tastes, such as cutting the amount of salad dressing in half and adding salsa. I mean, really, you can't have taco (salad) without salsa! (Original Source)

Baked Cream Cheese Spaghetti Casserole
Baked Cream Cheese Spaghetti. I wouldn't make it again. It tasted fine, but it was a lot of work for something that tastes just like spaghetti with meat sauce. Plus, I burned my arm taking it out of the oven! (Original Source)

Buffalo Chicken Lasagna
Buffalo Chicken Lasagna. I made this yesterday and it was really good! We even have enough leftover that we are having it again tonight. It was really easy as well. Aside from cooking the chicken (which I did ahead of time) it was about 10 minutes of prep and then it goes in the crockpot for 5 hours. It was a nice twist on plain lasagna. (Original Source)

As you can see, I have had a busy week in the kitchen, with no fails! This is in addition to recovering from, and putting away Christmas, as well as dealing with a bunch of bureaucratic stuff with Ronan's preschool.

So for those of you on Pinterest, Happy Pinning, and for those of you not, I suggest you get on there! (Or not. You may get addicted)
