A few of my favourite things...or should I say pins

My favourite pins….Well I spend FAR too much time on pinterest.

(check out Bacon Wrapped Media for more funny quotes!)

 

In fact I was trying to “surf pinterest” , as I wrote this, but we had no internet…so I could only stick to one page, and try and remember what it opened too!

So, you would think I could find a few good things to share with you…AND I have. 

First up, a recipe…actually 2 recipes.

The first is something that I just made last night

See my pin

Here is a picture of what it looked like when I made it myself!!  Not too bad really

The recipe is from  Cook Lisa Cook

I was writing thing post before I actually made it and I wondered how it would go down as my husband has recently informed me that he’s not a huge fan of the “potato only meals” But me and the kids love to have Wedges with salsa, cheese, bacon and sour cream as a full dinner, so I wonder if adding the chicken and more sauciness will help…or just take it over the top.  Sometimes I find these pinterest recipes end up being a bit to….ummmm….what can I say…’Americanised’.  Sorry Americans, it’s not you, it’s me…ummmm….lets just be friends?....

So anyway, it was good, a little too oily, but that's easy enough to fix, and I didnt put as much chicken as she said to beacuse I am a real stinge...I probably should have, it was fine, but it wouldnt have been better with more chicken!

 

And my 2^nd recipe is this super divine Cinnabon Roll bake cake dish thingy!!  WOW…. It was so yum.  I made it to impress a couple of friends who came over to do crafts with me one day!  They were impressed, so it worked…but even better than that, they didn’t eat it all and I froze it in parts and my husband and I had yummy desserts for ages afterwards!!  Only changes I would make, is a little less sugar and a little less topping….but then again, if I did that I might end up eating even more in each sitting! So maybe it’s not all bad!?!?

See my pin

unfortunately I didnt take a picture of my own one when I made it, but here is a picture of what inpired me to pin it...and then make it!

 

This recipe comes from Six Sisters Stuff, (I have a tonne of pins from that blog, it’s quite amazing…wow, what would it be like to have 5 sisters!  I don’t have any, and I married a guy with 3 brothers…I have lots of sisters-in-law now though, so that’s good!!)  Six Sisters website

 

And the other 2 pins are things for the kids.

T-shirt to dress pin

This is a gorgeous little tutorial for turning an adult’s tee into a preschooler’s dress!  I made this for my daughter

 

 

 

And then got so inspired that I made another random dress from a t-shirt for her

And another

 

 

And finally a cool idea for the Father’s Day prezzie

And here is the pictures we gave to Dad for 2012!

 

Each year we take a shot of the kids displaying how much they love their dad…print it out for 19c a photo and either buy a beautiful frame from the dollar store….or re-use last year’s frame!!

 

Check out Melissa Speelman's website for some great photography inspiration…or get her to do take you pics!!
