I have a really hard time staying focused when writing. As previously mentioned I tend to think of things I need to elaborate on before continuing with my current thought. So, I’ll try to be better about that.
I love Pinterest. Seriously, best invention ever! I’m such a visual person that for recipes and the likes I prefer pictures. If a recipe doesn’t have a picture, I will choose something similar that does. So with Pinterest I pin so many recipes and unlike many things that you book mark or make note of, I actually go back and use them! So today I’m dedicating this to 5 of my top yummy Pintrecipes. New popular term in the making?? I think so! ...either that or Pintripees. Yes, double 'e's because if I wrote 'Pintripes' it would read as (pin-tr-eye-ps).
2 Minute Mug Brownie:

So this one is pretty good. Especially if you're like me and want a brownie but are too lazy to go out to the store or make a full blown recipe. All the ingredients are things you will most likely have around your house so it's nice for a last minute treat. My only complaint is that it could be a little sweeter, if you're eating it sans ice cream. One thing I did add to this was a little hot fudge to top it off. Pair it with a cold glass of milk and you're in heaven!

I've only made this once but you can sure as sugar bet I'm making this again! It was a slighty more involved recipe with all the layers but it turned out AWESOME! I definitely feel it's a very 'Autumn' dessert with the caramel and apple but I wouldn't say no if someone offered it now :)
Homemade Apple Chips:

This is a really good, healthy, and natural treat. I used my mandolin slicer thing which helped me get some thinner slices. Probably the one down side is that making a lot at once would be time consuming as you can only fit so many on a cookie sheet at a time. Plus, you'd need to slice the apple fresh each time so they don't start to brown while waiting to be cooked. I highly recommend this, it will be a perfect snack to pack in my little boy's lunch!
Fruity Peanut Butter Yogurt Dip:

Another delicious and quick snack item. There are literally 4 ingredients but 2 are probably some that you don't just have in your pantry. I loved the subtle hint of fruit that came with using strawberry Greek yogurt (I use Fage or Yoplait) but I think honey would be really good as well. In lieu of fruits I used Stacy's Cinnamon Sugar and Original pita chips which I thought were really good. Even though you have to get specialty peanut butter, there is plenty left over to make more! It also stores well.

Yum, Yum, and yum! I guess this would save you money vs going out to buy it but it is for sure waaayyyy healthier! I skimped a little on the pepper and spice (in that I didn't put any in) but it would have definitely been good with a little kick too. I think also serving this with some stir-fried veggies would have added to the tastiness and variety of flavor. We have a small deep fryer so I had to make this in two batches but it turned out really good and it's really easy!
So seriously people, don't just pin, do!
Pace,
Megan
