Last Week's Pins- Food

by Jenni in

Although making food is fun, I am not necessarily the chef in our home. The hubs is the one who enjoys finding new recipes, making reductions, and testing crazy things that take hours of kitchen time to make. Me, I like baking and a long time in the kitchen cooking is anything over 30-minutes. 

But, there is something about the summer in Michigan that makes me want to spend all day in my kitchen back home making super healthy snacks. This usually leads me to binge cook when we get back home or make super healthy noms for the family while vacationing on the lake (after camp, of course). 

Well, my need to cook/bake/be in a kitchen and make some super healthy meals took over this past week and almost every pin was something to do with food. Here are a few that I am absolutely counting down to August till I can make! 

Fig, Honey, and Ricotta Tartines



This Week in Pins

by Jenni in

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you have some great plans for this weekend- maybe even seeing Captain America, heh, heh! This week there have been some super cute things on Pinterest that just must be shared. Lots are about houses since spring is in the air and all I want to do is decorate/clean/read. Talking about reading, has anyone read The Ring and The Crown? I read it this week and must say, it was not my favorite. Palette cleanser time. If anyone knows a great action with a love story (there must be a love story) send it my way, I am in bad need of some new reading material. 

Home Style Quiz, Henderson Style

I put this one first because it is the most important. If you read nothing else and go straight to taking this quiz, reading the article, and having a wonderful laugh, I will not mind in the slightest. It is the funniest thing EVER. Like Emily, I also made the hubs take this last night, that was a close second in the funny category. How can a guy not understand that you are not actually picking a home location from a picture, I. do. not. know. He got the Property Brothers and I got Nate Berkus. There is truth in this quiz. 

Take it! 

White Chocolate Poppyseed Blondies

Yum! I think that is nuff' said. Seriously, these are spring and light and wonderful. They look amazing and I want to make them right now. Put it in my mouth. 

Calorie Torching Workout

This actually looks kind of fun, right? All we need is some weights and a few minutes to get in some serious fat burning! Just might have to do this over the weekend for some super fun calorie torching! 

Catt Sadler's Home

I love Catt Sadler and I absolutely love her home. Some may say that using so much quite is a fear of color, so not true. It is just plain pretty and simple and swoon. 

Savory Cheesy Bread

Last, but not least, we have the least P+K thing on the whole list. Our aunt made this for us awhile she was visiting a few months ago and it is seriously the best thing I have ever crammed into my pie hole. You may be thinking, "oh, this is on P+K so there must be something secretly healthy about it." No, there is nothing redeeming about it. It is a fat filled starch bucket with more fat than we want on our entire bodies. This is one for the splurge day for. sure. 

To make this a bit healthier, I would highly recommend using this dairy-free pesto recipe from the wonderful Nicole at Pumps and Iron.
