This past week was pretty exciting in our household but not because Miss M. finally became a first grader. No, the real reason is because I was able to not once, but twice make a recipe with items I had on hand. There was absolutely no pre-planning.
First up, sloppy joes. I usually make my mother-in-law’s recipe which is awesome and tasty but realized too late that I didn’t have a required ingredient (dijon mustard). Enter pinterest. I entered “sloppy joes” into their search engjne and this is what appeared:
A lovely and tasty sloppy joe recipe that did not require mustard. The best part is that I had all the things that it did require! Win! Click on the picture for the recipe.
Next up, cookies. On Sunday, Miss M and family were invited to a picnic and there was to be a cake walk. In order to participate you were asked to bring a baked good. I had some yellow cake mix and some chocolate chips. Pinterest yet again saved the day and Cake Batter Cookies were found:
Click on picture for recipe. They were so tasty that the extras that I laid out for the community potluck were gone in a matter of minutes! The best part? One lady almost accosted me for the recipe!
Success in the kitchen times two with the help of my secret weapon, Pinterest.
