I love the holidays. The happiness. The cheer. The weather.

I have myself wrapped up in a bunch of projects and I’m having a blast! Hoping I can write a blog showing all my completed projects. Here’s what I’ve been getting myself into…

I found all this ideas on Pinterest – hence the name Happy Holidays Pinspiration! Each image above clicks directly to the site from where I’m drawing my directions, just in case you are interested in any of these projects too! For more ideas I have my eye on for the holidays you can check out the most recent pins on my Pinterest Page!

The ribbon on my tree is done, I’m waiting for the glue on my branches to dry and I’m off to start the dough for the challah bread!

Happy Holidays!

My Monday Motivation comes from a Pinspiration!

For dinner tonight I am making Chicken Zucchini and a recipe I found on Pinterest quite a while ago, Creamy Parmesan Rice. I am finally summoning up the courage to try this rice. I got the Chicken Zucchini from All Recipes and the rice from South Your Mouth. You can check with her to see how it is supposed to be done here and then you can check back with me later this week and see what happened when I tried it.

I’m not the best cook. Something bad always happens especially when it comes to white rice. I’ll be back to blog about it at the end of the week.

Wish me luck!

I finally did it – I bought an iron skillet over the weekend. I am so excited!

*This is my Monday Motivation*

Iron Skillet

Being that my husband is the pickiest eater on the face of the planet (I kid you not) I don’t really get to experiment a lot so cooking is relatively simple. Sometimes, I scroll through recipe and cooking blogs and find myself longing for the chance to try all these awesome yummy recipes that fill the world-wide web. Unfortunately, I cannot partake in a lot of this deliciousness because all of the ingredients which give lots of the flavor to all these fabulous recipes are a no-go in our house.

Over the past year I have been relying a lot on Pinterest for gathering recipes. In addition, I have been watching the cooking channel a lot – I have to get my fill of cooking some how! In watching these shows I totally want to try baking or braising my meat in the same pan in which I sear or brown it, I’m guessing doing this adds tons of flavor – Yes?

I’ve been online learning how to “season” my cast iron skillet and looking for a yummy london broil recipe – Hoping this turns out good!

If you have any tips to share with me please feel free – I’m a newbie!

I’m finding myself using Pinterest a lot for recipes. My brain seems to adapt to this format very well. I am always referring to it to try something new. We just returned from the store and got all the ingredients to make the following dishes. Currently I am in a dilemma about which chickpea dish to make first. I am thinking it’s going to be the avocado dish!
