aww, you guys have made SO much stuff. johlise- i LOVe the tree, can't wait to see when you actually do it!
i haven't made anything yet.
i've been really trying to stay away from sugar so i haven't been.. i'm going to make something pinterest inspired for valentine's day.. i'm not sure what yet, but i'm excited!
I've made a bunch of different appetizer/munchie items...
I've made these souped-up Saltine Crackers (easy and people loved them):
http://pinterest.com/pin/7107311881572115/
This sun-dried tomato bruschetta is really delicious:
http://pinterest.com/pin/7107311881572142/
This fried goat cheese is super easy and people devour it:
http://pinterest.com/pin/7107311881552826/
These brie-stuffed mushrooms were okay - a little greasy. I don't think I'd sautee them in butter again:
http://pinterest.com/pin/7107311881559936/
Rosemary-chipotle smoked almond - quick and easy:
http://pinterest.com/pin/7107311881551935/
These raspberry cheesecake cupcakes have been a HUGE hit and a bunch of my girlfriends asked for the recipe (I love them for portion control):
http://pinterest.com/pin/7107311881551730/
Caprese skewers:
http://pinterest.com/pin/7107311881551091/
Jalapeno popper crescent rolls:
http://pinterest.com/pin/7107311881551075/
I made these baked avacado fries, too, that I saw a bunch of people pinning and honestly, I thought they sucked. They were so bland and I kept adding salt to try to make them better. It may just have been that I didn't get good avacado, but for the effort I wouldn't try them again.
For whole meals of food, I've tried:
This spicy chicken rigatoni - good but I'd scale back the portion size:
http://pinterest.com/pin/7107311881691195/
This blue cheese walnut arugula pasta - the blue cheese has been a little too strong for DH's liking:
http://pinterest.com/pin/7107311881551854/
These rosemary parmesan biscuits that DH and I both devour:
http://pinterest.com/pin/7107311881551810/
I am not crafty at all so I do not even pin crafty things. I pretty much exclusively pin photos of places I want to go / have been, shoes, and then recipes I want to try.
Those are the only crafty type things I've done. I've tried a few recipes and got ideas for menu ideas from there.

jumped ship to the new and improved nest. back to TB for baby boards.
This. Actually, not sure I'm even pretending. I like it more for decorating ideas than crafts or recipes.
Does he like steak? You could always make a really tasty herb butter and cut the slices with a heart cookie cutter
I'm pretty sure I got the inspiration for these (made today for the Super Bowl) on Pinterest - I don't have an account, I just browse now and cheat the system, lol.
*poof*
FYI, I might dd the photo later since I also posted it on my fb... (which I almost never do, but I was just too excited about them today)
