Graduation is one week from today. I cannot believe it! I have one last final on Tuesday and then I am official done with my undergraduate classes. Talk about crazy! I haven't been able to keep my mind from wandering to the question of what am I going to do with all this free time over the next couple months. Relaxing is definitely the top of the list! I also have a list made of shows I either need to catch up on or have been wanting to start..Netflix here I come! As I was thinking further I also remembered all of the recipes I have pinned on Pinterest throughout the years, but have never made. Since I will be the one who has the majority of days and nights free while my parents are working and brother is studying I want to take it upon myself to prepare food and finally put those recipes to use!
I decided to go take a scroll through Pinterest and make a "bucket list" of sorts from the recipes I have pinned. When I was doing so, I instantly thought of the blog and how it could make for a really fun post to share with you all; hoping you will discover a few recipes you want to give a go, too!
Here are the are the ones that made the cut!

I've made those PB&J wraps, but I usually put in chocolate granola since I'm a chocoholic lol. They are really good! That cajun chicken alfredo looks great too. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh chocolate granola sounds delicious in that! I'll have to try it both ways! Hope you have had a good Sunday!
DeleteThose on-the-go egg muffins look like they would be so good! I'm a huge fan of buffalo dip so that looks delicious as well! So many good options-- I love how you split this post up! Hope your dad had a great birthday!
ReplyDeleteThanks girl! :)) And I want to try the on-the-go egg muffins so badly! I'm always looking for a quick breakfast (can re-heat them up) and those seem like they would be perfect! I also love anything buffalo/hot!!
DeleteLOVE this idea, my Pinterest needs this! Know what I'll be doing for the next night or so hehe! Some of these look delicious! I really want to start cooking more! Those on the go egg mcmuffins look so cute!

ReplyDeleteI love anything mint chocolate so they had me by the title! LOL
DeleteThe lasagna soup looks interesting. Those caramel apple cheesecake bars look dangerous! :)
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing about the soup but I like lasagna and I like tomato soup with noodles so I figured it'd be worth a try! haha. And yea, the cheesecake bars definitely do!
DeleteHappy birthday to your dad! The quote is awesome and I hope you enjoyed/ are enjoying [I get so confused by different times zones] a great day with him and the rest of your family. It seems like they have a lot of deliciousness to look forward to during the next time!
ReplyDeleteWe are still in the process of enjoying it! :) I get confused on the time zones as well so no worries there! I had some stuff to do for school in the afternoon so I had to miss a little time with him, but we have the whole night ahead! (He was so great for understanding!).
