Menu Mondays with a Pinterest Update
Its a miracle! I made everything - EVERYTHING on the menu list from last week. I don't know if that has ever happened in all my menu Monday posts!
I also wanted to report back on a few of the new pinterest recipes I tried.
- The chicken/stuffing crockpot meal - we ate it, but I probably won't be making it again, wasn't a favorite in our household.
- The Pesto Stuffed Shells on the other hand were delicious! These will be making an appearance in our menu plan again soon. The pop of pesto flavor was a fun kick to the cheese filling. Try them - you won't be sorry!
Last week we had a slower week, no soccer practice or game, kids were sick, so we didn't go out much...this week is back to the chaos - but I'm going to try and stick with it. So here goes..another weekly menu.
Monday - Leftover meatball subs w/chips
Tuesday - Pioneer Woman Chicken Tacos
Wednesday - Coconut Shrimp w/pineapple
Thursday - Turkey meatballs w/fruit
Friday - Crockpot Chicken Salsa
Saturday - Spaghetti w/garlic bread
I also tried a few household cleaning tips I have found on pinterest. My bathroom is pretty clean right now thanks to these few tips...
Grout cleaner - I tried this in my bathroom - and I feel like it may be my new bathroom floor cleaner.
Another Grout Cleaner - I used this in my shower - the grout in there was bad...and black. This idea worked - I think it may work because it strips away some of the actual grout, but it works. My shower looks better - I may have to try it again to complete the job.
Dawn soap - I threw some dawn soap and vinegar into a kitchen sponge thing and my shower glass is so clean and clear.
Clearly I my bathroom needed some help! But I'm happy to report that all my pinterest time isn't going to waste completely!
Come back for my next post - It will be my 500th post and I have a fun little giveaway in store.

For the Love of Pinterest
I didn't get much sewing/quilting done this week like I had planned - but I did cook - nearly every night. This is why I love pinterest - and this is why Mike said last night - "I love the new cook book you've found" because Pinterest is a virtual cookbook.
The other thing that makes me happy is that sometimes I feel like I'm wasting time when surfing through pinterest - so if I'm actually using recipes, tips, etc that I'm finding I feel like it is knowledge I'm consuming instead of wasted time.
Here is what I've made this week -
Loved these! They were pretty easy to make - can make in large quantities if needed. Flavor was great!
Thanks to Whit for the idea - this cheese danish was Mike's pick of the week.
My mom made this and brought it to the super bowl party - it was delicious!
We had these for dinner last night - along with these..
Which I changed up using deli ham, spinach, egg and cheese. I made enough of these to have for breakfast also.
If you aren't seeing a theme here - I've been using my cupcake tins a lot this week! I love the portion control that comes from individual cups. I can also figure out the calories pretty close so I can watch what I'm eating - yet still feel like I'm eating some decent food.
I love Pinterest - a few more recipes I will be trying this weekend...
Happy Pinning!
