New Obsession, New Meals

I have been obsessed with Pinterest lately! It's an amazing place that captures all of the fun things you find online and keeps them for you in an organized way. It's wonderful.

Thanks to Pinterest, we have had some yummy new-to-us dinners lately.  I hate that "dinner slump" where you get sick of making and eating the same stuff over and over.  Now I have a few new recipes to add to the rotation.  I liked a few of them so much I thought I'd share {the pictures are not mine, they are way better than I could do... they came from the site of the original recipe}!

These Ham and Cheese Sliders from The Girl Who Ate Everything were delish! I served them with Sweet Potato Fries {cut up a sweet potato into french fry sized pieces, toss in 2 tbs. extra virgin olive oil, season with salt and pepper to taste, bake at 400 degrees until desired crispiness}.  One thing I altered about the recipe- I omitted the mayo and miracle whip. I'm not a mayo fan. I'm not a fan of anything that even resembles mayo. It grosses me out. But these Sliders didn't need it anyway- they were so good! I've had them twice already.

Kenny's favorite new recipe is from Our Best Bites.  Their Baked Chicken Penne was pretty good. I didn't bake it, so technically I didn't follow the recipe all the way through. We just used the cheese sauce like any other sauce and it worked fine.

This Lemon Rosemary chicken from Sparkling Ink was yummy! It was perfect for summer- very light and fresh! I actually followed this recipe as written :)  I served this with Paula Deen's Cheese Biscuits and they were delish too!!

The last "new" meal we have had was the Honey Chicken from Blog Chef.  If you like Pei Wei's Honey Seared Chicken, you'll love this!! It is so good! I would recommend adding bell peppers and onions {like they do at Pei Wei} and serve it over steamed of fried rice. Yum!

I have a feeling that this is the first of many posts inspired by Pinterest :)

Enjoy!

  1. Love. We have added some new meals to our rotation too because of Pinterest. I've been wanting to try the ham and cheese sliders- those may be on my menu for next week!
