nutella hot chocolate: o.m.g. amazing
crockpot chicken enchilada soup: hardest part was dicing the onion and we have leftovers for days
i have a french toast casserole planned for this weekend...
Re: if you are on pinterest
Kisses and pretzels for sure. I had made them last year, so pre-pinterest, but so good.

This mac and cheese was so good. I also added some small pieces of smoked ham and sundried tomatoes. Amazing.
I haven't made any recipes yet, but I've made a fabric scrap wreath and am making salt dough ornaments this week.

I always display my cards like that, didn't see it on Pinterest. I use a stapler though.
I have made a ton of food from Pinterest. Crockpot chicken enchilada soup, yam gratin with gruyere, Latin style chicken and rice, skillet corn, balsamic and brown sugar pork, Duchess potatoes, pork with spicy apricot glaze, drunken noodles, corn chowder, brioche buns, baked penne with chicken and sun dried tomatoes, pepperoncini beef sandwiches, pork tonkatsu, apricot dijon pork chops, zucchini fries, crispy chicken tacos, General Tsos chicken, bbq chicken salad, lemony potato rounds, pumpkin cookies, chocolate chip cupcakes and chocolate buttermilk cookies.
I have also used it for F's birthday party ideas.
I tried to braid the pie crust like I saw on pinterest, but that was a big old fail.
So Tasty, So Yummy
We are in the process of making the Christmas tree art on canvas with Tyler's hands.
I have a ton of teacher related stuff that I pinned and would like to use in my classroom in the future.
I have made parmasen chicken, Paula Deen's chicken noodle soup and cajun chicken pasta.
All turned out yummy and I plan on making more things to come.
I like that card display, but didn't do it this year.
I made these (http://pinterest.com/pin/263038434455714779/) as gifts. They turned out pretty cute.
I tried to make these (http://pinterest.com/pin/263038434455714779/) last night, but it was one fail after another. The first half of the chocolate seized up, the oreos kept falling off of the sticks and once I added the chocolate chips, they ended up looking like ugly skeletons. Thankfully I only tried one, so I just tossed some pretzels into the rest of the chocolate and called it a day.
These cookies turned out cute for Halloween (http://pinterest.com/pin/263038434455617895/) and this was pretty good, even though I changed it up a bit (http://pinterest.com/pin/263038434455683857/).
I also did the hand tracing on cardstock for F's first day of school. I will do that every year.
So Tasty, So Yummy

::whispers:: I want to be on pinterest. Do you have to be invited? although I'm a little scared because the only "projects" I need to start around my house are ones that include purging & organizing and then stripping wallpaper, and painting/redecorating.
I hate the builders for their wallpapering.
grrr.

I made the caramel from the condensed milk and made the banana caramel whip cream pie. It was awesome!!!
I have also made the cream cheese, jalape?o, and bacon crescent rolls. I brought those to a UofH tailgate.
Both things were so good and fairly easy to make.

I just painted a small canvas with this saying on it (found on Pinterest):
"Be the kind of woman who, when your feet hit the floor in the morning, the Devil says, oh no, she's up!".
I'm NOT a painter and not crafty at all, but I think it turned out pretty cute
I just realized a lot of things pinned on my "Must Eat" board are things I cooked from elsewhere and then pinned to share.
The things that I have made from Pinterest:
easy parmesan knots
oven fried parmesan zucchini
hash browns with bacon (too much work for nothing great, IMO)
dijon crusted pork chops
hot ham/cheese sandwiches made with crescent rolls-- the kids freak over these!
I've also ordered shoes and jewelry that I saw on the site and discovered a couple new places for clothes.
most of the things I've made are craft related. done a few recipes like the cookie dough truffles. Soooo amazing! Also the oreo cookie cupcakes.
I am currently in process of glittering up the soles of a pair of heels like I saw done on pinterest so we will see how that turns out. Hopefully good as I love these shoes haha.
I've done a lot more just can't remember it all
