For my blog i'm going to be exploring the recipes given to you by the Pinterest board of yours truly. I don't know about you, but I have so many things pinned and saved for later but I always forget about them. And when I do need to find a quick recipe I search it in Pinterest but then I never end up saving it to any board....it's like...what's the point. I'm going document my attempts at some of these Pinterest recipes, in hopes that they turn out....

Here is a little background on my cooking skills....I don't.

I don't typically like to cook and I think it has to do with being a lazy millennial (or so i'm told) and a lot to do with the fact that my husband isn't home to eat dinner because of his work schedule and we both suck at eating leftovers. I DON'T COOK. I like to eat though. I'm now in the process of attempting crock pot freezer meals which are SUPER easy and SUPER convenient for me.  I eat some when I get home from work and then I pack them for lunches for the rest of the week and force my husband to eat them for lunch. Anyway, those meals are another story for another day. My point is, I don't cook, I like food, this blog is for a grade, and I need to expand my knowledge and skills on cooking so might as well start now...

Whipping the Whipping Cream

Image
For my first recipe review I wanted to keep it simple and easy.  As it turns out, nothing is ever easy for me. haha. The recipe I decided to use is called:  Quick and Easy Nutella Mousse  The mousse was not quick and easy! It literally took me 3 days to make it. I decided on Friday night I was going to make it and have it as a weekend treat, boy was I wrong. haha I followed the recipe and I got to the first step, which was to pour the heavy cream into a bowl.  I poured the cream into the bowl and then bumped it and the cream spilt everywhere so I gave up and went to bed. Today I decided to try again. The instructions said that the prep time would only take 5 minutes. My prep time was soooo long! I felt like it took forever to whip the cream. It shouldn't have taken as long as it did. Five million years later I finally felt it was good enough to be considered "stiff to a peak". My favorite part of the instructions was the " use a pipi...

A Cookie?

Image
I honestly didn't even know what I was making was a cookie until right before I put them in the oven.....the literal name of the recipe is called "New York Cheesecake Cookies ". I just saw the cheesecake part and was sold. Whatever. I made some dang cookies. I always feel like i'm setting myself up for success. I think in my head Yes, i'm going to nail this recipe and it won't be tragic and look like a child made it. Nope. Something seems to go wrong. Whelp. Here it is: So, here are my ingredients. Did you know that you can buy graham crackers already in crumb form? And they smell amazing! Heart eyes all around. So, for some reason this recipe kept telling me to get bowls. Like, why?  It wanted me to get out 3 bowls...for 12 cookies...come on... Here you'll see my graham cracker crumbs mixed with my flour. Isn't it pretty? Yes that is a burn on my hand from a previous cooking adventure featuring the oven... On a positive no...

The last one....

This is my last post for my class! I can't believe I did it! I'm not sure if I will continue to blog about my Pinterest attempts. TBD For my last recipe I decided to do something I've been wanting to do since watching Britain's Next Great Baker on Netflix. They are always talking about puff pastry. Puff pastry is the name of the game for this recipe and it was actually pretty fun. There is a lot of rolling and folding and it's rather soothing. After starting this recipe I noticed that the recipe only tells you how to make the puff pastry, it didn't tell me what to do with it after I had made it, so I had to find another recipe to finish them out. The first thing the recipe said was to mix flour and salt. Done. Next, cut up some cold butter into cubes. (The funny thing is, it specifically said high-quality butter. haha aint nobody got time for that) Add to flour and mix. It said to use some sort of pastry device, which I obviously don't hav...
