Anyway, here are a few of the recipes I've recently "pinned" and tried. (See all of my Pinterest boards here)
First up, "Million Dollar Spaghetti"
This was pretty tasty. I will definitely be making it again although I'm not sure it is quite worth a million dollars as it's name implies. It was reminiscent of lasagna except with spaghetti noodles. Next time (if I was just feeding my family of 5) I would probably either only make half of a recipe or freeze half. I felt like we were eating leftovers forever. And I would maybe add some veggie's to the sauce.
Next, "Totally Scrumptious Chicken Salad Croissant"
I thought this was good, not totally scrumptious, hubby was ok with it and the kids... not so much. I probably won't make it again although it wasn't bad.
And other one from it's overflowing , "Baja Chicken Wraps"
These, I love. I have been eating them for lunch for the last couple of days. They are filling and fresh, with just a hint of lime. When I eat them for leftovers, I add a little fresh coleslaw mix, just to freshin' it up a bit. Does the rest of the family like them? Don't care, I do :) Ha ~ hubby likes them, Sassy hasn't had any, and Action and Smiley will eat them (not sure I can quite say they like them).
Finally a little breakfast ~ "Egg Muffins"
(original website here ~ although I've seen lots of variations around)
I made a bunch of these one evening before a weekend softball tournament. I knew we would be up early (5:30am) to head out to get to Sassy's games in time. I'm a believer in eating some sort of protein for breakfast and I thought these would be perfect to quickly warm up and eat before we had to head out. I made a variety of these. I used green and red peppers, mushrooms, onion, sausage, and cheese. Some just had veggies, some had everything and some had a little of this and that. We all agreed that these were good and perfect for our early morning. Yep, you guessed it, I will make them again. The worst part was washing out my muffin tins ~ seriously why does egg stick to everything?
That's it for now! Actually I'm working on dinner right now ~ a pasta I pinned and some bars I pinned. I'll let you know how it all turned out next week :)
What have you been pinning and trying?

I love hearing about people trying pinterest recipes! Love your reviews, Wendy! So you cooked the egg muffins the night before, and then reheated them the next day? I wasn't sure eggs would taste great reheated, but might have to try this one sometime! :)
