Have you found it yet? Have you been sucked in? Do you think I'm speaking a foreign language as you've never heard of this magical place?
Well, jump right on it, the water is wonderful! Pinterest is a very fun website...it's a place to find new recipes, new craft ideas, fashion, home ideas, organizing ideas, school ideas, etc...etc...etc... Once you are "invited" by someone who is already a member, you just start "pinning" things you like. You can even pin quotes, pictures, products you covet...I mean would sort of like to own. It's just crazy...but a fantastic kind of crazy :-) It's like an online filing system for all of the things you enjoy and want to try.
I have used several of the craft ideas and recipes so far (remember these cookies? Pinterest!) and wanted to share two of the recipes with you today. I made these porkchops last night and they were A.MA.ZING.
Simple Crock Pot Chops
4 thick cut chops (bone or boneless) - I used 6 thin cut boneless b/c it's what I had on hand
1 pkg ranch dressing mix
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup white wine
4 cloves garlic, minced
black pepper
Place pork chops in crock pot. Mix all other ingredients...DO NOT add any salt, these are salty on their own w/the dressing mix and soup. Pour/spread over chops and cook on low for 6-7 hours. I served mine over brown rice along with some ranch beans and corn. YUM!!!
These I made for a ladies Christmas event for church...mainly because again, I had the ingredients on hand and they were quick! Plus who doesn't like a smore???
Smores on the Go
large marshmallows
5 Hershey's chocolate bars
graham crackers
Really you just decide how many you want to make, take out that many large marshmallows. Melt the chocolate bars in a double broiler. While chocolate is melting, crush a package of graham crackers to crumbs (just one package out of a box) and spread on a plate. When chocolate has melted, dip a marshmallow into the chocolate then roll in graham cracker crumbs (I used a skewer to help me with this and also ended up using a spoon to put more chocolate around the marshmallow). Set on a plate to cool and voila! Smores to go! Also great eaten warm right after dipping ;-)
