Pinspiration :-)

I felt like blogging (even though I'm sure I have several other things I should be doing).  But, I don't have much to say tonight, so I've decided to blog some of my favorite Pinterest ideas!  Since joining Pinterest, I have created 14 boards and pinned 315 photos- not a ton, but enough to have a few favorites.  Of those 315.. here are my favorite 7 Pinterest inspired ideas that I actually made!

# 1. Ho Ho Ho Punch

We served our Ho Ho Ho Punch during a "game night" with two other couples.  We used 1.5 liters of champagne and 2 liters of ginger ale then 2 packs of frozen strawberries.  It was yummmmy and there was none left by the end of the night.


2.  Crispy Southwest Chicken Wraps

These are sooo good.  And so easy!  I don't follow the recipe exactly, but I stay pretty close. Copy and paste the link below the picture (photo credit: lovefromtexas.com) to get the recipe.  Then go make it- because it is good!


3.  Chocolate Cake

This cake is probably my favorite chocolate cake now!  I made it twice in one month and will be making it again soon.  Copy and paste the link to get the recipe (photo credit: kevinandamanda.com).  I made it with Magnolia's vanilla buttercream icing- which you can find on my Pinterest page linked to the board "Sweets"- titled Magnolia's Cupcake Recipe. 


4.  Chocolate Chip Cookies

 These chocolate chip cookies were exactly how I like them.  Thick with lots of chocolate chips.  Chocolate chip cookies could be my favorite dessert, but I'm picky.  I like them firm but soft inside- big- and like I said ... thick.   I like lots of chocolate chips- semisweet!  These were perfect.  Loved them.  Copy and paste the link below the photo to get the recipe (photo credit: mybakingaddiction.com).

5.  Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

Like I said... I love chocolate chip cookies... so why wouldn't I love chocolate chip cookie pie?!  Made this for Thanksgiving and it was so good.  Another one that was super super easy- notice a theme?  Please make this.  You won't regret it.  Copy and paste the link... you get the idea.  (photo credit: veryculinary.com)

6.  One more sweet... I love sweets- I can't help it! 
     Honeybun Cake

7.   Although it's not linked to my Pinterest, I created an art piece for Peyton's room that was Pinterest inspired.  It was pretty easy to make.  It involved a canvas, traceable letters, a sharpie paint pen, and water color paint.  And voila.
