Pinterest Pinterest and More Pinterest

It’s been too long that I’ve posted on here. I think posting everyday for the detox burned me out for a little while. But I did miss you all! I’ve been cooking but to be honest I’ve been cooking a lot of Pinterest recipes. Yes, I’m highly addicted! I feel that it has caused me to be a little more creative than I really am. LOL

So, to start things out I thought I would post a few pictures to let you know what I’ve been up too this past couple of months.

We had a fun super bowl party at my sisters house, I made stuffed mushrooms and chocolate dipped strawberries.

I also printed off a printable that I found off pinterest that we used to serve the food in. You can find them here.

My sister, Jamie made some really cute cupcakes.

I also decided to make chicken fried rice one night. This was my first time to make it without using a mix. It turned out pretty darn good. You can find it here.

Next, I found an idea to make healthy chicken nuggets. I knew that was one of Kyle's favorite foods growing up so I knew he would be up for it. He love them!! You can find the recipe here.

I also made a trial run of cheesecake. I’m making 3 different types of cheesecake for a friends wedding. They turned out really good, thank goodness!

Our kickball team entered the Chili Cook-off. It was out at Dickey Stephens park. What more could you want than all you can eat chili and kickball all day. We entered our captain's recipe and I thought it was pretty darn good. We didn’t win but had a really good time. Kyle and I did have about 30 seconds on channel 7 news that day as well. Smile

I also got to watch my friend’s little girl Lainey! We had so much fun! She is eating (drinking) some fruit in this picture.

And last but not least, I’ve been cooking up some cornbread for some orders towards my Russia trip.

I have a few other exciting new recipes that I will be posting soon.

I love Almond Butter

Hello again! It’s been a busy day for me today but it’s been a good food day. ;) The blender worked out a little better for me this morning. I guess it just needed a little using before I got used to it. I started today with an Energy Smoothie. It was really good. It was my first time trying the spice Cardamom. Energy Smoothie ½ C Almond Butter 1 Teaspoon Ground Cardamom 1 ½ C water 1 C Frozen Peaches 1 to 2 Teaspoons of Agave ½ C Ice I cut this recipe in half. The Cardamom was pretty noticeable. It’s hard to describe but it was a little like cinnamon. I loved the Almond butter. I tried a new brand this time. It was very creaming right out of the refrigerator. I drank most of the smoothie on my way to work. I was pretty hungry when I woke up this morning. Lacey enjoyed the Mango Smoothe today. Isn't she cute! I had a cup of hot green tea about 8:30. It hit the spot! The smoothie held me over till about 11. When lunch time came around I was hungry. I had to take a quick lunch...

Soba Lo Mein

Is everyone ready for all the snow they say we are going to get tomorrow? I hope this is the last of it. I’m ready for Spring! Flowers, bike riding, and walks in the park! Tonight I decided to use the Soba noodles I bought back when I couldn’t eat gluten. Soba noodles are made with 100% buckwheat flour and are gluten free. I’ve never tried them but I thought they would taste more like whole wheat noodles which I love. I decided to use my Chicken Lo Mein recipe without the chicken and with Soba instead of whole wheat. They didn’t taste quite like whole wheat noodles. They had the same texture but a really odd after taste. I think I stick to whole wheat from now on. You can make this Lo Mein with whatever noodles you prefer. The peanut sauce mixed with the soy sauce is so good!! I used the following ingredients. I started out by sautéing some onions and a garlic clove in 2 tablespoons of toasted Asian sesame dressing. While you are cooking your noodles add in the ve...

It's a Mango day!

Hello all! I’m sorry I’m just now posting. I was planning on blogging my meals throughout the day today but that didn’t go as planned. I started the day off by getting up 10 min earlier than my normal day. Alarm went off at 5:20am! It was early and I wanted some coffee. But I settled for a cup up Organic Apple Red tea. It was pretty good and seemed to satisfy my cravings for a hot cup of something. The smoothie I decided to make this morning was the mango smoothie. I started blending it all up and made a huge mess. I think I need to get up an extra 5 min tomorrow. ;) Here are the ingredients: Mango Smoothie 1 ¼ Almond Milk ½ Coconut Water 2 leaves of Kale ¼ Avacado ½ Cup Frozen Mango chunks ½ Cup ice if needed. I liked it! I think I could have blended it a little longer because I had some chunks of kale but I didn’t mind. It held me over till about 10am. I then decided to have a small handful of sunflower seeds/almonds. Noon! I was ready for lunch. I brought a salad with...
