Happy Friday Everyone!  Hope you have had as much fun on Pinterest this week as I have.  I even took time away from pinning to make a couple of things I pinned.

This week’s top 10 things on Pinterest:

10.  This would make a cute Valentines gift!

9.  What a cute idea.  You could add sparkles, sequins, small toys.  Whatever you want to match your decor.

8. Fun invite and a picture to keep too!!!

7. This reminds me of the salad I love from Panera Bread. Just a blueberries, pineapple, apple and change pecans to almonds.

6. This lady used her crockpot to cook everyday for a year.  The recipes are on her site.  Yes 365 of them. Love my crockpot.  It makes life so much easier.

5.  Cute and fun addition to hot cocoa and it would cool it down for the kids too!!

4. I am wishing it was yard sale season so I could go on a hunt for an old ladder.   I really want to do this in my hallway.

3.  I always have clothes hanging everywhere on laundry day.  The shower rod, over all the doors and backs of chairs. This could solve that problem.

2.  So easy to make and could be changed up to match different outfits. Looks like we will be making bracelets this weekend.

And my number one find on Pintrest this week…

1.  Dresses from pillow cases.  What a cute idea. There are so many beautifully trimmed pillow cases out there.

More from my Pinterest adventures for the week.

This week’s top 10 things on Pinterest:

10.  Does this look like the most comfortable outfit or what?  I want those shoes!!

9.  Now I can have those cute storage boxes I love but won’t spend the extra money on.

8.  This would be so good with some cranberry juice or lemonade cubes. I may even try a little Sleepytime tea cubes.

7.  Oh my this looks great.  I’ll take mine with almonds.

6. This would be so great for my apartment.  Extra room for guests.

5. Kids would be so excited to get chapstick  and free printables for Valentines.

4.  I wonder if the stores mind if you use their paint samples for crafts?  I see so many great ideas using these.

3. I think I will make this over the weekend and then I can add a little blue to it for Memorial day and 4th of July.

2. Cute kids activity for Groundhogs Day.

And my number one find on Pintrest this week…

1. I will never look at stars the same after seeing this.  Now they have an extra special meaning.

How much time on Pinterest is to much??  Well I’m sure I am over the limit, but it has been fun.

This week’s top 10 things on Pinterest:

10.  Make your own Taco shells. Looks like they would hold a little more the the store bought ones.

9. I would need to make this a little larger to hold all my single socks.  Cute idea though.

8. This is a great way to reduce the clutter.

7.  Rainbow Slush Punch made from freezer pops.  Looks Yummy!!

6.  Remember this the next time you hug someone and hug a little tighter and longer.

5. I love grapefruit juice and now I can have it with a little kick.

4.  Looks like it is time to visit Goodwill or some yard sales.  This will look great in my bedroom.

3. Healthy sweet treats.  Fruit and juice or Crystal Light.

2.  You could make these to match any outfit so easily.  All you need is buttons and elastic thread.

And my number one find on Pintrest this week…

1. Oh my!!  These looks delicious.  Add a little peanuts and they would be like a Buster Bar.

Muffin Tin Monday
While enjoying my Pinterest adventures I came across Muffin Tin Mom and Muffin Tin Mondays. Cute quick meals served in a muffin tin.  I am even thinking about packing my lunch for work this way.  A cute muffin tin with a variety of foods seems like a great way to brighten up your day and control your calorie intake.  Well I probably won’t make my food look like animals or creatures (people might start to talk :o) But the Grandkids would love this.

Well, Since I have become a “Pinterest addict” I thought I would share a few of my favorites each week.  Maybe since I am posting them for you is will justify all the time I have spent pinning all of these great finds.

Here you go. Hope you enjoy this as much as I have.

I love the smell of coffee in the mornings!!  Great aroma therapy.

This could make our card game time much shorter. Those little hands always have a hard time holding the cards.

So true.  Live for the future and don’t dwell on those unpleasant things that happened in the past.

Well  its the simple things that you never realized could make life easier. I can think of so many uses for this.

Jet Packs!!  -  I think Daelan would love these. I can just picture him flying around the house.

Great way to recycle those plastic grocery bags.

This looks delicious and so easy to make.  Like a big blueberry muffin.

Wow!! Cook the bacon in the oven while you make everything else. Cuts down time and mess.

Cute nail design you can do very easily at home.

Hey! A good use for all those free Aspirin I have in my stockpile. Aspirin Facial.

Ingredients

• 1 large baked potato (russett or sweet)
• 1 Tbsp. butter
• 2 eggs
• 2 strips bacon, cooked and diced
• 2 Tbsp. shredded cheese
• 1 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
• salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Lay the baked potato on its side, and use a knife to carefully cut off the top third of the potato.  With a spoon, hollow out the middle of the potato to make a “bowl”, leaving the potato as thick or thin as you’d like.  (Just remember, the more room you leave, the more room for eggs, bacon and cheese!)

Place 1/2 tablespoon of butter in the middle of each bowl.  Then gently break an egg into each bowl, careful not to break the yolk.  Top with bacon, cheese, parsley, and then season with salt and pepper.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg whites are set.  Serve immediately.

Thanks Gimme Some Oven

What a cute idea.  Leave doughnuts for the elves on Christmas Eve (along with Santas cookies and the Rain deer food)  These little doughnuts are actually Cheerios decorated with powdered sugar, cinnamon and sugar and icing with sprinkles.

I just realized this didn’t post yesterday for some reason, but you’ll definitely want to these yummy Halloween recipes! Here’s a few deals for your home from Ann-Marie of Chaos Is Bliss.

As you may be preparing to make treats to take into your child’s school, or perhaps for your own Halloween party, here are a few creative ideas for spooky treats!

• Witches Fingers, using a basic butter cookie recipe and almonds.

• Apple Bites, which are sections of apples cut to look like an open mouth. I tried this last year with both marshmallow creme and with peanut butter to try and get the almond slivers to stick, let’s say it was some messy goodness!

• Snake Bites, an entree from Paula Deen with crescent rolls and deli meat. You’ll even find a how-to video.

• Slimy Jell-0 Snacks, complete with gummy worm!

• Candy-Coated Caramel Apples, which I look at like an ice cream topping: use your choice of candy like red hots, mini-Reese’s Pieces, chopped Heath bar, the possibilities are endless!

Before you shop online, always search the online coupon code database for FREE shipping coupons and more ways to help you save.

I’m sure you have all heard the story of  The Stone Soup.  Well whenever I am having trouble thinking of something to make for dinner Stone Soup usually works out great.  I just go through the freezer and cabinets and find whatever I can and through it in a pot.

So here is what My Stone soup consisted of tonight.

Ingredients

• 3 Boneless Chicken Breasts
• 1 Carton Chicken Broth
• 1 Can Black Beans
• 1 Can Pinto Beans
• 1 Can Succotash (Corn and Lima Beans)
• 1 Can Diced Tomatoes
• 1/8 Cup Chopped Onion
• 2 Packets Taco Seasoning
• 1 Cup Elbow Pasta.

Directions

1. Cook chicken in a little water and 1/2 the broth until it falls apart easily.

2. Add the rest of the broth and everything else and let is cook for an hour or so then bring to a boil and add pasta.

3. Let it cook again for about 10 minutes.

Cooking Tips & More

You can add so many things to this to make your own creation.  My Sister and I used chicken, chicken broth, a can of alfredo sauce and frozen vegetables once and it turned out great.  BE CREATIVE!!!  IT is a great way to clear out the cabinets of the bargains you got but haven’t used yet.
