If you haven't seen or heard about Pinterest you don't know what you are missing! Pinterest is a website that compiles interesting web pages, pictures, blogs and then gives you the ability to "repin" them to personalized categories. When someone finds something crafty or of "interest" they "pin" it to the website, hence the name Pinterest.
As a member you then can make your own boards where you can file and catogorize your finds. Then friends can follow you and see all of your great finds and if they choose to they can repin them!
I know it may sound slightly confusing and I am sure I didn't do it justice with my explanation but it is extremely addicting. I can search through pages and blogs all night.
One of my favorite things to check out is all the really great creative things people do with food. By this I don't just mean your everyday recipes, they are much more interesting then that.
Tonight I made on of my favorite dinners stolen from a friends blog, and for dessert I made Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Cupcakes.
You make your cheesecake filling, add in some crumbled cookies, and instead of using a crushed cookie or grahm cracker crust you put a full oreo at the the bottom of your muffin tin.
They are the perfect size for a quick treat and super yummy. Mikey said the cookie was a little soft but i absolutely loved it. It wasn't soggy, but I enjoy my oreos dipped in milk so it was the perfect consistency for me. I could eat a hundred of them but thankfully I halved the recipe and I am bringing half of what I made over to my friend tomorrow morning :)
I have a ton of projects and food trials coming up thanks to Pinterest.com so hopefully I can really get back into the swing of things!
For the time being pinterest membership is by invite only and if you are interested I would be more than happy to email one along :)
