Slow Cooker Potatoe Soup

Yum so last night we made this recipe for Slow Cooker Potatoe Soup for dinner.



It was yummy!! The only thing we didnt follow on the directsion was adding a whole onion that just seemed like way too much onion so we only used half an onion. We are also considering adding celery and some salt to the recipe while its cooking the next time we make it. I'll let you know how that turns out. :)

Clothespin Picture Holder

WOW ok this was such a fun and easy project and i am so glad that i did it. It took a little while for me to finish them up because i didn't have the right embellishments for them but i was able to fix that tonight when i made it to the scrapbooking store. Here is the link to the post on Pinterest and here is how mine turned out. :)



I'm very excited to put these on my desk at work because in addition to being super cute they don't take up a lot of room and you don't have to worry about taking a back off a picture frame.

Haapy Pinning Everyone!!!

CrockPot Chicken Quesdiallas and Cilantro Lime Rice

Oh my goodness. I think last night was one of the best dinners we have had in a long time. I'll admit we haven't done much cooking sense baby arrived the end of September its mostly been quick things like frozen pizza, grilled sandwiches, baked potatoes and other really easy thoughtless dinners. Last night that changed with these 2 recipes i found on pinterest, not only are they super yummy but as an added bonus they are both super easy!!! Crock Pot Chicken Quesadilla's and Cilantro Lime Rice.

On the Chicken Quesadilla recipe i did 2 cans of Ro*Tel instead of the individual cans of tomatoes and green chilies. We put Cheese, the crock pot quesadilla chicken and the cilantro lime rice in a tortilla and then crisped the tortilla up in a pan on the stove, you've also got to melt the cheese so it wasn't just about making the tortilla warm and crunchy. :) We ate it with Sour Cream on the side, some Guacamole would have been good too but we didn't have any. My husband said we should add olives and a few other things that are escaping my mind right now the next time we make them, Yep thats right we will be making these two again for sure. This is also the first time in a VERY VERY long time that i am looking forwards to eating leftovers for lunch. :)

If you try these i would love to hear your take on them and if you added any thing extra to your quesadilla's.

Happy Pinning everyone!!!

another way to use pinterest

Ok so most of the stuff i have posted on here are about things i have found on Pinterest and done. You can use pinterest to pin anything you find ont the web. I have done this with a few different things. One of the things i have done is find quotes about babies and pinned them to my quotes and phrases board. I have used them in my photo books i've made of Liam. head on over to my quotes and phrases board to see some of them, you can also see more under my things i've tried/ used from pinterest board as well.

Happy Pinning!!!

Tomato Basil Parmesan Soup

Tonight I tried a recipe from Pinterest for dinner. Tomato Basil Parmesan Soup. It was really yummy, it was a little more chunky than i prefer my tomato soup but that's a simple fix for next time i make this.

I plan on adding some cheese raviolis to the left overs to make another meal. Others had commented that they used it as a pasta sauce as well.

Sorry i didn't take a picture of the soup. I should have. I'll have to remember that for next time.

Happy Pinning!!!

Scarf Organization

Yeah my first blog post about something i have done off Pinterest. :) I'll be honest this was SO EASY!!!! and one of those things where i wanted to smack my forehead and say "DUH!!!! WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT???!!!!" All you need is a hanger from your closet some plastic shower rings (bought a pack of 12 from Target for just over a $1.00)

Here is a link to the original post that i pinned on Pinterest

And here is how mine turned out. please disregard our super messy coat closet :)



All you do is snap the plastic rings closed on your hanger and run your scarfs through them and there you have it!!! instant super easy organization!!!! in under a minuet non the less.

Happy Pinning!!!
