I'm notorious for pinning projects and recipes on Pinterest like it's my job, and then never actually trying them. I recently decided that this needs to change, and I've completed 4 little Pinterest inspired activities since Sunday!
Here are 3 recent Pinterest inspired recipes that I've tried this week!
Eggnog Cookies
via Your Cup of Cake
I found this recipe while randomly browsing the holiday section of Pinterest on Sunday, and knew they would be the perfect little treat to take to school for the teacher's lounge on Monday. If you work at all, you know Mondays are always a little brighter with a scrumptious snack.

These cookies were really easy and fun to make.
I love to bake, and making these cookies definitely got me in the Christmas spirit.
After I made the cookies, I was a little unsure of the texture because I was afraid I under baked them. Luckily, everyone at school absolutely loved them. I've even had people ask for the recipe, which I think is the ultimate sign a dish was successful. I think these would be a great cookie to bake for a holiday cookie exchange!

Chicken Rollups

This is another recipe that I stumbled upon while browsing Pinterest, and I knew instantly that I had to give it a try. I am one of the pickier eaters you will ever meet, and to be honest, I've beat my standard dinner recipes to death. This recipe looked super easy and it included only my standard ingredients (chicken, cheese, and bread). CAhusband also loves anything with Crescent rolls, so I thought it would be a big hit!

This recipe was as easy as it sounds, and was really yummy. We both enjoyed it with a simple green salad, and called it a successful weeknight meal.
Given that I enjoyed this dinner so much, I'd say it's probably a perfect dinner for a family with picky kids too!

Cookies and Cream Fudge Brownies
Natalie raved about this brownie recipe on her blog this week, and I then saw it floating around on Pinterest. I'm attending dinner at a co-workers house tonight, and knew these would be the perfect treat to bring along.

These brownies were really easy to make and smell delicious! I haven't cut into them yet because I'm saving them for dinner tonight, but I honestly don't know how these ingredients could come together and be anything less than fantastic!
Do you actually complete the Pinterest projects you pin? I'm trying to do a much better job, and am loving that I've found 3 new recipes this week that I know I'll make again!

Can I just say how happy I am that you're doing so many posts lately! I've been missing my daily does of CAWife :)
I have to try the cookies and cream fudge brownies. They look incredible!
Wow those all look yummy! I'm impressed you found a new way to create your favorite 3 ingredients... chicken, cheese, bread, haha :)
Thank you so much for including my recipe! =) I just made 56 of these two days ago for a freezer meal swap! Ha!
Oh. My. Gosh!!
Absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing! Grocery store trip this weekend to try at least one of these!
I'm a new follower and I am so glad I found your blog! I too am guilty of pinning like crazy but then never making anything I put on my DIY or recipes boards! All of these look so good!
