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!

Merry Christmas ~ 2014

Merry Christmas!

These last few weeks have been spent hustling and bustling throughout the holiday season. However, I managed to squeeze in some baking with a recipe that I got from Pinterest! I love My Pinterest! This time I made Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins and discovered the MASSIVE difference in baking when using a Kitchen-Aid mixer!

A few weeks ago I took the mixer out from storage to make Sweet Hawaiian Bread, but that didn’t work out because I did something wrong with the yeast. Hmm… maybe that’s why it was in storage in the first place.

Thankfully, I left the mixer on the counter and this baking escapade led me to making these Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins using the mixer and the difference was truly AMAZING. I could not believe the consistency the mixer mixed the batter compared to me doing it by hand. Now, I am so excited to try something else!

This recipe came from Princess Pinky Girl and it was delicious and a hit with my Christmas guests! Thank you for your scrumptious recipe because it is now a staple in my book!

Hoping everyone had a fabulous Christmas!

When I saw this recipe I heard the avocado calling me. I knew I would make this. It was just a matter of time. Enter summer and my new camera guy!

This recipe was originally for a sandwich and the ingredients were mashed up and placed on whole wheat bread. I had it both ways and either way, it is yummy! I had to split the recipe from the Original Recipe by Two Peas & Their Pod because I am the only one in the house who will eat this. The first day I had it as a salad.

Here is what you are going to need –

Chickpea, Avocado & Feta Cheese Salad

1/2 Can of Chickpeas
1 Avocado
1 Green Onion
1 T Chopped Cilantro
1/4 Cup of Feta Cheese
1 Lime

*Salt and pepper to taste

The next day I used the rest of the chickpeas and made my second batch. I had the first half in a sandwich and the rest in my salad last night for dinner.

I can’t wait to make it again as an alternative to guacamole.

Thank you Pinterest Planning and Pinterest!

PS I am loving my new camera guy!

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!
