Hey, That's Pin-tastic: Dinners

This past week all of the dinners I made were taken from Pinterest. Some I loved, but most I didn't. I have to admit that I didn't follow all of the recipes correctly. I am horrible at paying attention to measurements of certain things, like veggies and noodles.

I get off work at 6:15p every day except for Fridays, and by the time I get home it's easily past 7p. I am starving by the time I get home, the quicker I can whip something up- the better! Starting this week, I will have school on Tuesday nights and I won't get home until almost 11p. That's a whole new set of challenges...

Winner:
The one recipe I absolutely loved is Angel Hair with Tomatoes & Pine Nuts*. Oh my goodness, it was absolutely fantastic. It was quick and so easy. I switched this baby up a little, and am pleased with how it came out. I roasted the garlic and pine nuts, added the tomatoes to let them warm, them threw in some spinach a minute or two before the "sauce" was done. This dish will definitely be my go-to from now on when I don't have anything planned.

Try It Again:
The two recipes that I'd like to try again, but make differently are Crock Pot Lasagna Soup and Chicken Fried Rice. They didn't taste quite right and über delicious like the recipes claimed. I think some tweaking, aka follow the recipe to the tee, will fix that. I have high hopes for them!

Side Lined:
I should've known this one wasn't going to work out, I don't like peas unless it's in Tuna a la King. Cheese Tortellini & Peas* was a no go for me. It was really simple to make, which I loved but it didn't have the flavor I was hoping for.

I am making four meals taken from Pinterest this week. Hopefully they'll all be winners!

Comments from here on out will have to be approved/monitored due to a crazy amount of spam comments I've been receiving lately, I apologize in advance. I know it's annoying.

Hope you don't have a case of the Mondays... (:
