Pintadicted

Pintest is so Pinteresting wouldn't you agree. 

I first learned of the addicting website about a year ago, just before it EXPLODED in our country.  I started pinning school ideas, and things that I might do if I had the time, or the money, and of course YUMMY FOOD!  I know I am not as much of an addict as many of the pinterest users out there.  I go through waves.  I use Pinterest when I have free time, when I am bored, or when I actually need ideas!!!  I have used many of the school related pins.  They lead me to blogs and free printables that I can use in my classroom, such an amazing resource! 

I have pinned many foods, but before this weekend, I think I have only used one or two of the recipes.  This weekend, I sat down and did something I haven't done in years (yes I am embarrassed to admit this).....  I planned meals BEFORE my trip to the grocery store!  I sat down and said this is what I will make the next 4 days and I made a grocery list to ensure the ingredients were on hand.  I printed the pinterest recipes and wrote the day I planned on cooking them at the top of the page.  I searched for new recipes and looked at the ones I had pinned in the past.  Last night I made Creole Cod (pinned), I cooked mine on the grill rather than baked in the oven, but it was YUMMY and C thought so as well.  Along with the Cod, I made a broccoli slaw and used some of the creole seasoning on some grill fries (pinned).  This morning, I made some egg muffins (pinned), a yummy and easy go to breakfast food.  I hope they also taste yummy cold like a quiche does?  Tonight I am making a recipe I found years ago in Cooking Light Magazine and I know is SOO hot and yummy, Honey Chipotle chicken sandwiches, but I found the recipe online and pinned it for all to repin (I hope the sauce makes my fake vegetarian chicken taste good, C will love the real chicken).  I am so happy I set myself up for a little cooking success this week.  If you want to check out the recipes feel free to follow me on Pinterest..... PINTASTIC!
