Pinning! Pinning! Pinning! Food! Food! Food!

I planned on my next blog post being about the art of packing light. But, I haven't started my practice runs on filling only one suitcase, so I need to do a subject change.

It's nearing that time of year where we crave comfort foods. We all want stews, soups, cornbread and savory desserts. I like to think I'm a pretty decent cook. Not a chef. And, I'm definitely not innovative with my cooking. It has only been within the last couple years that I have ventured out from my mastered basics...spaghetti, pork chops, bbq chicken. I need recipes to try new things. I need recipes that are simple, direct and do not require a ton of ingredients because I do not keep anything fancy in my kitchen. So, Pinterest has been PERFECT in making me go from a pretty decent cook to a dang decent cook.

Here are a couple of the ridiculously easy recipes I have found and successfully tackled that were a huge hit.

*I followed these directions exactly except I cut my cooking time in the Crock pot to 3 1/2 hours on high. Turned out perfect. The hubby really, really liked this one.

*the only changes I made to this recipe was that I added a little bit of cinnamon and 1/4 cup milk and the cook time for mine at 350 degrees was 30 minutes.


ENJOY!!
