Addicted!

Hi, my name is *** and I'm addicted to Pinterest. There I said it. I just can't help it.... i go on there for what feels like 15 minutes, but in reality turns out to be 2 hours! Lately I have found it to be a great place to find new recipes. I just love that I can save them all on a food board and know exactly where they are... just click on it and go right to the step by step directions. Perfect!

So I don't usually blog about recipes and food, but what the heck, there is a first time for everything right?! I have been having so much fun trying new recipes and making meal plans. I found a few good make ahead crock pot recipes. So a few days ago I decided to make a few of them and freeze them. It kind of snowballed and I ended up having dinner ready for that night, the next night, and then of course all the ones I stuck in the freezer. As I was getting them all together in the kitchen I couldn't help but start "thinking in blog"... you know, thinking in sentences as if I was sitting here blogging about it. That's when I decided, well, I should take a few pictures so I can actually put it all together.

Chopping up all my veggies and meat and getting it sorted into freezer bags and filling the crock pot for the next day. Made some lasagna roll ups for next week too since I was "on a roll" hahaha. yeah ok lame, but it's getting late, I'm allowed.

So after getting all my meals set up, ready and into the freezer. I decided to try out a new chocolate chip cookie recipe. I am always looking for recipes that will have an end result of, puffy (as opposed to the flat turn out I usually get) I just want a nice thick and chewy chocolate chip cookie. I do have a recipe that has worked fairly well for me that involves some vanilla pudding mix. It is a good one, but I am always interested in new ones. This particular one called for corn starch. These cookies are PERFECT! 
SO soft and chewy, and definitely not flat.

 YUM!!!

They are just so prefect, cooling on the counter, looking so delicious and moist....And then your 2 year old does this....

Oooops :/

So yes I am addicted... but it is all for the good of my family and their dinner time well being. There are so many more recipes I want to try. It makes meal plans a little more fun, and makes my shopping list a lot easier when I know what I am making. Instead of spending way too much money on food that I have no idea how I will use. Saving time and saving money. It's a win-win situation really. I spend less time making the food because I prepare a lot ahead, and I have more time to look up other fun stuff on pinterest ;)
