How very Pinteresting




So... Are y'all on Pinterest? Or are you holding out and assuming this new fangled, crazy fad is fleeting... Like tights as pants... Or dinners out with friends after kids...
Or are those just me?

 Well I am on Pinterest. You should follow me, I pin all the cool things. carichastain. That's me... Go ahead... Follow me, is fun.

I am a huge Pinterest fan. I might not go so far as to say it has changed my life... But I have tried more then one thing I have found there. And I have wasted mucho time searching for things that could change my life... So maybe one day that will pay off...But really, I am a dreamer, and pinning things I love... Even though I cannot afford them, or have anywhere for them... Makes my heart happy.

So, today I thought I would post the things I have done/ tried/ used that I found through Pinterest. And then tell you what I thought of it.
 Fun right? Let's go.

First let's tackle the food I have made. I know I do not talk about food a lot on here. I do not revel in all things cooking... and I DO NOT BAKE...but make no mistake... I LOVE FOOD. Especially when it is EASY. Or when someone else makes it for me. (favorite)

I made this:

So delish...and super easy. one quick tip: LINE YOUR PAN WITH FOIL....you can thank me later. I had thislip-lickin' chicken with this as a side dish...


I also have made this:



very good... I added some steamed broccoli on the side... yum.

and I loved this:


oh so easy and good... like want to have it 3 times a week good. I heard through the pinterest vine that some add mushrooms... I would, because it sounds divine... but the Captain and mushrooms are not on friendly terms...

I have made this a couple times...I add shredded chicken and eat it on toast...



and I made these this morning...


also I have experimented with my hair...



It turned out nice... But I really didn't like it on me...

and I have done the sock bun.. no pics... but it is AWESOME... just google it...

you might remember I made a similar Christmas Wreath...

I LOVE Pinterest! I'm not very crafty, but I pin a lot of recipes (easy to throw together...nothing fancy:). I haven't tried anything yet that I didn't like! I made those cute little Rudolphs with chocolate donuts and red peanut m&ms...huge hit with the kiddos! I will have to start following you. :)

I don't understand pinterest, I looked once and was overwhelmed, but everyone's blog seems to be posting about something or pinning, whatever. Really, it's good, but where does one start? Maybe you could do a tutorial....
please.

I've been holding out on looking into Pinterest, but some of those food pictures may have just won me over. YUM!
