In the last several years, I have most oft turned to the Internet when I want to find a recipe. Usually I come up with some sort of idea of something to cook and I google the best recipes.
But Pinterest...
Oh Pinterest...
You have changed my life.
When I see these awesome looking photos, I can't help but pinning them and adding the ingredients to my grocery list. I have pinned several recipes that I have found on my own. But more often I have repinned something that I someone else pinned on Pinterest. Thanks to all the people that have pinned so many delicious recipes!
This week I have made several recipes from Pinterest. It is so easy to find something to make before I go to the grocery store because I just click on my "In the Kitchen" board and check out what looks good!
Now I will share with you what I have made this week:
Actually I made this Lemon-Garlic Spaghetti 2 weeks ago, but I thought it would fit here.
I followed the recipe pretty exactly. Did you know pine nuts are uber expensive. For serious.
We both enjoyed it and would definitely make it again.
Target didn't have the right potatoes so I used smallish Yukon gold potatoes instead. But since they were bigger than the ones the recipe called for, boiling them for such a short time didn't quite cook them enough. So they were a little hard.
Other than that I followed the recipe and they were delicious (minus the hardness of course). Reheated they were really good too and they softened after being put in the microwave.
They were actually VERY easy and SO yummy. I highly recommend them as an easy yummy addition to a meal. Though knotting them was no harder than rolling croissants from the tube, they look all fancy!
I made these White Chicken Enchiladas on Saturday night. I have been eyeing them for a while, but wasn't sure how Adam would react. But he really liked them!
I made half with chicken and half with black beans and garbanzo beans.
Obviously the beans were for me.
I didn't find green chilies at Target (as you have probably noticed I don't make multiple grocery trips) so I bought the tomatoes with green chilies Rotelle. It gave a slightly different flavor, but I liked it.
Also, I added some mozzarella cheese because 2 cups of cheese for the whole thing just didn't seem like enough to me.
The sauce calls for chicken broth, but I make an easy vegetable broth with warm water and a bunch of seasonings. But for the life of me I can't find the website where I found the recipe.
The enchiladas were yummy! The sour cream gives the sauce a different taste, but it was really good!
So Pinterest,
Thank You.
