Pinterest Pies

I looove Chicken Pot Pie, and it's one of the few foods my entire family will eat. Challenge for tonight, Mini Bisquick Chicken Pot Pies. Here is the link to my pin, the directions are on the pin. (http://pinterest.com/pin/62768988526897289/) Though I didn't see what temperature to bake them at. I found the actual page for the Betty Crocker recipe online. There were several more ideas for mini pies there. I've tried the Cheeseburger Pie, it was great. But anyways, Betty said to bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes. The directions were super simple and easy to follow, and I used my made up recipe for the filling. The only change I made was using Gluten-Free flour in my rue. I wanted to try the Gluten-Free Bisquick, but Bi-Lo was out! Maybe next time. They are currently baking, and Gracie is standing watch at the oven door. She told me she just wanted the filling, it was too good to wait! I'll update and add pictures once they are done (If Gracie doesn't eat them all first!)

My Pinterest Addiction

We all have that one website where an entire day can be wasted in front of the computer. Some of us even have several sites. I am guilty of having an addiction to several. I am on Facebook, Failblog.org, and Pinterest ALL THE TIME. Although Facebook helps me keep in touch with my family and friends, and Failblog keeps me entertained, Pinterest is actually useful. I have made Christmas gifts, fancy dinners, crafty home decor, and fun drinks. I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees something on Pinterest and "attempts' to make it. The instructions seem easy enough, right? In about 50 % of the items I make, whether it is food or crafting, the directions do not lead me to a finished product that looks as nice as the pictures!! I have been trying to keep up with my blog, and I thought what a better way to do it than a Pinterest adventure! So, whenever I make something I've found on Pinterest I will document it!! Give pointers and things not to do! Enjoy!!
