I find it has a million ideas for my inner creative person [wish the inner was more outer..meaning I wish I just did some of these things] Most things cost $$ that frankly we just do not have these days.
One thing that I found I can actually do is make some of the delicious recipes for meals!! The year before last my New Years resolution, between working two jobs and being a Wife, was to make one new meal every month. Homemade. Delicious. Something I have never tried.
I started January making Lasagna, never made it, now I did not make the noodles [homemade bahh] or the sauce because ....seriously....no haha.
February I made homemade Chicken Pot Pie! I used my SIL crust recipe for Apple Pie and added veggies, chicken, and all the delicious fillings that was wonderful!!
March I think I made homemade Blueberry muffins those were so easy and so delicious.
Then i kind of lost steam, I found out I was pregnant, then the 1st trimester sleepies came, and I was still working 2 jobs so when I was actually home I was napping.
Towards the end of my pregnancy I discovered all the yummy recipes on Pinterest and was only working one job [thanks to my wonderful Husbands hard work] and since I have made all of these meals.
Banana Bread
South West Egg Rolls
Bell pepper Enchiladas
Zesty Italian chicken
Crockpot Lasagna
Meatball sandwich Casserole
Mini Corn dogs
Mini Pizzas
Pumpkin Muffins
Pizza Rolls
Pulled pork Sandwiches
Taco Quesadilla
Mexican Stuffed Shells
Taco pie
Zucchini somethings
Zucchini Tots
Zucchini pizzas
Now some are Favorites and I have definitely made them again, Some need tweaks in the recipe because I just do not like spinach THAT much, but I feel like maybe it has been almost 2 years since my resolution but i honestly think that this totally counts as me having a successful resolution. I have made many new meals I have never made all from scratch! =D This is something that I really enjoy!
So when you are thinking of meals for the week so you can finish your shopping list... log on to Pinterest! That's what I do!!

I am proud of all your cooking! I used to be like that until my back got too bad! Actually I have pumpkin bread in the oven now, although a mix! But at least it is something and it is from Trader Joes!
ReplyDeleteThose meals look good Jill! I used to make taco pie a lot and haven't made it for sometime...I'll have to make it again, soon.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out your recipe page on Pinterest!
Thanks for all the good ideas!

I am a Pinterest woman as well. I have tried a couple of recipes and will be trying more. It is fun to look at others boards.
ReplyDeleteOh you know me, I love Pinterest too! The ideas, the recipes all so fun to look at and sometimes make too! Your recipes look great. I am making one this week from Pinterest, called "Taco Pizza" Similar to the taco pie I think. http://pinterest.com/pin/67905906853046622/
