Pin Test: Creamy Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas

7.16.2012


I love looking at recipes on Pinterest. When did home cooks get to be such amazing photographers?

Recently when I started a diet I had to unsubscribe for a lot of food boards...it was torture! This was one of the first recipes I ever tried on Pinterest.

Oh goodness these were delicious!  My family prefers a bit more green chile sauce so we added more when we made this again, but my kids gobbled it up and everyone was happy!  I especially love that there is no condensed cream-of-chicken soup anywhere in this recipe.  This is now in our rotation as a family favorite.  Try it...you'll love it.

Pin Test Tuesday: No Bend Foam Wreaths

7.10.2012


I am addicted to Pinterest (aren't we all?) and I have been working my way through different pins on my boards. Some with great results...others, not so much. So here is a new series called PIN TESTS where I try out a pin and let you know how it worked for me!

NO BEND FOAM WREATHS
★☆☆

I like to save money so I was excited when I saw this pin on creating your own wreaths using plumbers pipe (original tutorial found here).

 

I went right to Lowe's and grabbed two lengths of it. I tried. And tried. And tried. But in the end it was an epic fail. My wreaths were still bent and awkward looking.  I ended up throwing them all away and saving my money for a store bought wreath form!

I gave it one star because I think you could make this work if you don't mind having a very large and skinny wreath.

Have YOU tried this pin? Did it work for you?
