I think I have written about my newest online hobby--Pinterest. It is hugely entertaining, and much less messy than if I actually clipped these things and pinned them on my bulletin board. I also realize that I can spend unhealthy amounts of time getting nothing done when I am sitting there enjoying myself. But recently I have found great success, along with an easy way to blow and hour or two.
Last night I made "new recipe #3" from a Pinterest pin. It was Cheesy-Veggie Chowder. Oh man. It was good. too bad The Boy doesn't care for broccoli, other wise it would have been perfect. Lucky for me I have lovely friend who are happy (or at least, they are to my face) to receive portions from the crock pot.
Today I rubbed out the scratches on my white stoneware bowls I have had since college. (And I wonder why they are looking 20+ years old?!) Another Pinterest tip. They look brand new! I love that!
And tonight, I currently have, in the oven, as I type, a Chicken Cordon Bleu casserole. "New Recipe #4" from Pinterest. I'll let you know the family's verdict on this one, but it looks yummy too.
This month I set a goal for myself to try two new recipes each week, and introduce an otherwise unloved vegetable to my family. Last week was asparagus, Disneyland's Loaded-Potato Soup ("new recipe #2") and Baked Fan Potatoes ("new recipe #1"). In my eyes, when the family likes them, that make 'em all good things to add to my cooking repertoire--but I will watch recipes I get on Pinterest better. The fan potatoes was originally posted in Europe....and I didn't notice the oven temp was given in Celsius. But that is a minor blip on my new personal cooking challenge.
