Plowing through Pinterest is productivity at its finest. It does make me feel accomplished. I don't like pinning stuff just to hoard it. I like seeing it, doing it, and moving on. Meaning, if I like it, I keep it in our rotation. If I don't like it, I can get rid of it. Well, I can put it on this board, along with my thoughts. I wish more people would be honest on Pinterest. It'd save us all a lot of pinning time.
Anyway. This week, I've got a lot of stuff I actually didn't like. You can thank me later for saving you precious time.
*I've linked the Pins to the text, so you can just click over to Pinterest that way. I'm not using that crazy Pinterest embedding stuff. Ain't nobody got time for that. *
Apple Crockpot Oatmeal. Looks amazing. Tasted like mush. I cooked it on low for 8 hours. I was distraught that I wasted 2 cups of oatmeal on this. I actually just threw it away after Scott said it was "okay". He only eats oatmeal if I make it and doesn't pursue it on his own. I didn't see the need to save it for reheating.
Make this oatmeal instead if you're looking for a crockpot version.
Roasted Zucchini Sticks. I didn't try the carrot ones. These were mushy too. They didn't caramelize. Scott ate them, but I didn't like the texture.
Thin Sugar Cookies. OHmyGosh. Yum. I ate an unnecessary amount of the batter off the mixer paddle. These are amazing. I did them up with red and blue sprinkles for Memorial Day...and then made them into ice cream sandwiches. It was necessary.
Oatmeal Smoothie. This was GOOD. Like, impressively good. If you think you don't like healthy smoothies, try this one. It's the most milkshake-like one I've had.
Single Serve Rice Krispy Treat. Oh geez. I ate this 3 days in a row. While Scott was fishing. So I didn't have to share.
Iced Tea. One thing I've struggled with is making good iced tea. This method works well. In fact, Scott loves it and carries a tea jug to work with him, Uncle-Si style. We make unsweetened tea. Sorry. I can't get on the sweet tea train. I like to chew my sugar, not drink it.
Thai Coconut Curry. This was SO, SO good. I mean, we'll be making it at least once a month from here on out. I cannot believe how delicious it was, and the fact that it came out of a crockpot was just the icing on the cake.
Baked Falafel. I tried a crockpot falafel recipe a few years ago and it was pretty good. I had high hopes for this particular recipe and it seemed very easy. It was easy. But it didn't have any flavor. I followed the recipe to a "T". So, next time, I'll make the crockpot falafel and bake it in the oven instead.
I can't even talk about it. I just...no. Too delicious to even put into words.
Pin anything yummy lately??? Have you tried any of these recipes yet?
