Pinterest Meal Reviews!

I am finally finding the time to post up some reviews of the Pinterest meals I've tried! Some of these are recipes from my previous post Pinterest Meal Plans. Some of the meals I've tired have been fabulous and some others not so much lol. I followed all the recipes according to the directions/ingredients that were given (unless noted otherwise).

 

First up, Homemade Mexican Pizzas. These were a flop...literally! I fried my tortillas until crispy but after the pizzas cooked they were floppy and the tortillas were mushy :( I think I may have put a little too much meat/beans on them so that may have been the problem. The flavor was good though so I might be giving these another try. http://pinterest.com/pin/258112622364813750/ 

 

Next up, Honey  Bourbon Chicken. The sauce for this was super good! It does have some spice to it though so if you're not one for spicy food omit or half the red pepper flakes. The recipe says to thicken your sauce in the crock pot...that was going to take forever so I just poured mine into a sauce pan and thickened it on the stove on med/low heat and it was done in a few min. My chicken did come out dryish though so I think next time I won't be cooking it for so long. http://pinterest.com/pin/258112622364852862/

 

 

The last one for today is Crock Pot Chicken Enchilada Soup. This came out looking NOTHING like the photo! A friend of mine also made it and said hers looked nothing like this photo either. I have a feeling the soup in this picture has heavy cream added which is not included in this recipe. However, it came out sooo good! And healthy too if you use skinless breasts instead of the thighs. I have made a few revisions to this and will be posting those along with an accurate picture soon! http://pinterest.com/pin/258112622364833375/

 

I will be posting more reviews on the new recipes I try off of Pinterest very soon! If you'd like to follow me on Pinterest feel free :) http://pinterest.com/mrs_riossince03/



Pinterest Weekly Meal Plan

So about two months ago I decided that I should actually try making some of the fabulous looking dinners from Pinterest rather than pinning and forgetting like I had been for the past 6 months. I've been basing my shopping list almost entirely on brand new to me dinners and side dishes all found on Pinterest. I thought I'd post my meal plan and maybe help out another struggling cook like myself :) So here goes, a picture and a link to the original pin!

 

 

Honey Garlic Pork Chops---This sounds ridiculously easy AND I already had all the ingredients on hand.. http://pinterest.com/pin/258112622364477500/

 

 

 

Balsamic Herb Pork Loin with Roasted Vegetables--This one is also super simple and it looks beautiful plated. http://pinterest.com/pin/258112622364738183/

 

Chicken Tortilla Soup...In a crock pot! I love crock pot cooking, I never feel like cooking once dinner time comes around so I've been getting into the crock pot more and more. http://pinterest.com/pin/258112622364790615/

 

Homemade Mexican Pizza--Is is possible that this could be better than Taco Bell's pizza, fake meat and all?? http://pinterest.com/pin/258112622364793000/

 

Happy eating! I'll update with how they turned out after I've tried them all..If you'd like to try them yourself follow the links to get to the original recipes!
