Pinterest Update--Recipes

The last time I successfully tried anything off of Pinterest more than once a week was Spring Break.  Now that I'm off for summer, I decided to give it a go again!  It's Sunday and I've already printed out the recipes that I want to try this week:

Baked Oatmeal (so excited about this b/c it turns into a "breakfast-on-the-go" item once I'm done!
Southwest Eggrolls with Avocado Dip (just like Chili's--or so they say!)
Cauliflower Pizza Bites (not telling Jeff it's cauliflower....)
Baked Zucchini Sticks with Sweet Onion Dip (just looked good!)

Here's one I tried off Pinterest that we HATED!  And, I found out later that it wasn't just my recipe that was disgusting...a friend tried it too and said the same thing!  Oh wait....I've already deleted the recipe!  It was that horrible!  It was the skinny version  of orange chicken or something.  NASTY!

Here are some I/we've LOVED:

Chicken RollUps (oh, so tasty!  So tasty, that we immediately started thinking of what else we could make like this!
Breakfast Pizza Breakfast pizza!  Need I say more??
Caprese Salad Toast---OMG good!  Especially when you use fresh basil from your garden!  Oh wait...I did that!  :)
Zucchini & Spinach Gratin I actually made this before I pinned it!  Lots of work, but delish!
Chicken & Black Bean Casserole  Umm...yum!  I even pureed it for Bennett and he would have licked the bowl if he knew how!
Fudgy Toffee Bars  Made these for a playdate and they were outta this world!

That's it as of this week!  Made the SW eggrolls last night and had so many left over that I froze them to use as chimichangas later on.  I'm going to add enchildada sauce, chicken, and cheese.  Can't wait!
