Pinterest Food~

05 June 2012


Since I've already spent a lot of time in the kitchen making all things pinterest I wanted to share those with you! I don't have pictures of each that I made but I will share links to recipes for you. Enjoy! :)

Homemade Ranch
This ranch was fabulous and so easy to make!! All you need is some yogurt, milk and a pack of ranch dressing mix. Refrigerate for 30 mins and ta-da! Such a healthy version :) 

Blackened Tilapia Baja Tacos Recipe
Blackened Tilapia Baja Tacos
Best recipe yet! I recommend for you to all make this! Your husband/boyfriend will LOVE you forever. Brian says this is quite possibly his favorite meal I have ever made and he's been asking for it again. The brown sugar mixed in with the other spices, I think, is what really makes this meal. The onion, sour cream mix to top the tacos is amaze, better than coleslaw on top! Please, whatever you do.. make this at some point.

Again, these are amazing! And while I ran out of propane making mine, they still were delish because of the marinate you put on them. Make sure you soak the sticks in water before grilling, no fires! 
Pinned Image
Delish! I've tried both green beans and asparagus with this recipe. SO easy, cheap! 

Pinned Image
YUM!!! So I was just back from actually going to Key West and this one stuck out at me. I made this at Erin's bachelorette party. Again, the grill might have run out of propane but I got some finished right before we ran out of gas. The rest I popped in the oven and cooked. They were still delicious. We decided to marinate the chicken overnight so it has a very good flavor to it. We also ran out of limes so it's possible there was a bid light lime substitute.

Y'all... I LOVE chicken salad! This has got to be my favorite recipe. I have tried tons but this is the best. Chicken salad is my favorite when it's got celery, grapes and green onion. This has ALL! You can also substitute some yogurt to make it a little less calorie. Also made this at Erin's bachelorette... another crowd fav.

Frozen Yogurt Bites
No recipe here.... just pick your fav kind of yogurt, put a small bit on some wax paper, freeze and there you go! A good snack when you are feeling hungry!

Pinned Image
This is soooo easy to make and it's the best poppy seed chicken I have ever had! This is Brians absolute favorite, I don't know that I can ever top it with another meal. It's quick and easy and you will love it. Just promise me that you'll make it, k? 

Pinned Image
My family LOVED this! I made it for some Christmas meal. It was sooo easy.. everyone kept raving about it so I was trying to act like it was so hard and complicated.... but it wasn't. I think everyone left with the recipe that night. Very few ingredients, very good taste. 

Pinned Image
SO good! Brian and I made this during the winter and it was so quick, so easy and very delicious!! Keep adding spices to your taste. You could even add shrimp if you want. You might have to look through some recipes to find this (the original was on a slideshow) It's recipe number 10 of 48. And the best part is... it's one dish! That's all you have to clean. 

Pinned Image
My mom had made this for years! But I stole this recipe off Pinterest and tried it for myself a few months back... SO good! 

Pinned Image
Just promise me you will make them. They are soooo good. And don't forget the marinara for dipping! 

Pinned Image
Another you have to promise you will make. SO, so, sooooo good. Except I make mine without cheese (just like two) I know, unAmerican?

Pinned Image
This is great! I don't put near as many beans as the recipe calls for because I don't care for beans

Pinned Image
I didn't love these as much as I thought I would but they are still really good!! (I have made them twice now) Almost too much bell pepper. I might leave out the chopped up pepper that you stuff inside the large bell pepper. 

Pinned Image
Roasted Veggies
You can pretty much mix whatever you want. I did red potatoes, regular potatoes, zucchini, red bell pepper, baby carrots and squash. Dust with parmesan for the last 10 mins in the oven. Bake at 350 for about 45 mins. YUM. 

Dessert Time! I've made a few things from pinterest that have been complete flops (only in the dessert category.) Those things were- chocolate crinkle cooks, skinny monkey cookies, and some type of breakfast meal in a coffee mug. I tried the last one 4 times and it never worked soooo I'm thinking it was the recipe on all of these and not me :) 

Pinned Image
These were sooo yum! I made a valentines version in February... they were the perfect mix of sweet and salty, my favorite! So easy to make. The hardest part is probably peeling the wrapping off of the kisses. 

Pinned Image
Peanut Butter Brownies
I can't find the recipe for these at this time but you must search from them on Pinterest. They are probably one of the best desserts, EVER!!! Brian and I had just started dating and he mentioned he loved Holly's peanut butter pie or really anything peanut butter. I wasn't going to dare try to make anything like Holly's so I searched pinterest one night and found these. I tried baking them and they were amazing!! I never knew I like PB as much as I did in these. Heavenly! 

Pinned Image
Another Brian favorite! And me too!! We didn't eat all of it so I took the rest home for my parents and they loved it too! It makes a very large portion so if it's possible you might want to half the ingredients and make in a smaller pan (if it's just for 2) Again, so easy! 

Pinned Image
This was like melt in your mouth good. It was kind of hard to bake though.... you probably need to cook for longer than the directions tell you. It will be very soft in the middle but will get harder as time goes on. It is fab for those of you who like M&Ms. 

OKAY, i saved the very best for last. I already mentioned Brian's love for Holly's peanut butter pie. SO, his birthday was coming up and I really didn't want to make a cake  so I searched Pinterest high and low-- read about 10 peanut butter pie recipes and finally picked the one below. He LOVED it! 

Everyone loves this! And I get requests for this so I feel super special about it :) 

So I think that about sums up my pinteresting food :) Please, try some of them! And if you have questions, ask me :)

Pinterest Challenge!

I have FINALLY decided to take on the pinterest challenge! I'm pretty excited about it? What is this challenge, you may be asking yourself? Well, I stole the idea from Lindsey Jarrett-- for a month she took on a new pin from pinterest. Whether it be a new meal, craft, anything. 

I'm probably starting this at the worst time ever so I'm going to do 31 pins as I have time. I'm going to shoot for a month but I'm not going to kill myself to get it finished. So I give myself from yesterday (i started on the 4th of June) until July 15th. That's a fair amount of time, right? I've already taken on a lot of projects/recipes I've seen on pinterest. I'll try to make a post sometime soon to tell you about those. 

OKAY... so here goes nothing.... I'll go ahead and tell you about my first project even though I don't have a picture of it. 

#1- Avocado Egg Salad-- which might kind of be a cheat because I made it for the first time a few weeks ago for Erin's bachelorette party. It was such a crowd favorite that I was craving it last night for dinner. So delish.. here's the recipe. I recommend trying it at home, tonight!!

10 ways to love...

29 November 2011

i found this on pinterest and i want to share... 


10 ways to love*


LISTEN without interrupting
...but there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. -Prov 18:24


SPEAK without accusing
...everyone should be quick to learn, slow to speak and slow to become angry. -James 1:9


GIVE without sparing 
...but the righteous give without sparing. -Prov 21:26


PRAY without ceasing
...but the righteous give without sparing. -Col 1:9


ANSWER without arguing
...better a bite of dry bread in piece than a house full of feasting with conflict. -Prov 17:1


SHARE without pretending
...we will grow to become the mature body of Him who is the head, Christ. -Eph 4:15


ENJOY without complaint
...do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become pure. -Phil 2:14


TRUST without wavering
...it always protects, always trusts, always hopes. -1 Cor 13:7


FORGIVE without punishing
...bear with each other and forgive one another. -Col 3:13


PROMISE without forgetting
...for the fruit of his lips a man enjoys good things. -Prov 13:12


I think the hardest for me is to forgive without punishing, it's so hard to be hurt and then just let it go. I think no matter how hard you try you always remember what has happened. I need to work on that because I want others to forgive me.... and how fair is it to want what you can't/won't do? "to be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because GOD has forgiven the inexcusable in you." That has to be one of my favorite sayings/quotes/whatever... it's so simple and so true. I need to tattoo it on my arm! 


xoxo, ah

D.C. and Boyz II Men

24 October 2011

I got to go to D.C. a few weeks ago for work... the weather was fabulous and I had a blast. When I got back Sydney and Whitney came down to El Do for Musicfest... we went to see Boyz II Men in concert and they were AMAZZINNNG!!!










bobalouie ;)

22 September 2011

So yesterday I was on my way to Warren for a meeting and I stopped in Hampton at the frame shop to pick up some things my mom got framed. As I turned in I notice they put in a new BBQ place in the shop... "BOB-A-LOU'S"

I immediately DIE laughing! When I was young for some reason (think it was in a song or something?) my dad called my bobalouie and i hated it. Like would cry, throw a fit and yell, "don't call me bobalobieeeee!!" (I couldn't say it either, obvs)

Still to this day my dad will start yelling, "don't call me bobbballouubiiee!!!......"

JRam is getting MARRIED!!!

21 September 2011

This past weekend we went to Dallas to celebrate JRam's upcoming wedding~ woo hoo, bachelorette party! I had so much fun getting to spend the weekend with fabulous friends. We rented a party bus drove around Dallas most of the night, so much fun! Picture time!

So we went downstairs to get the hotel to call us a cab and one of the men asked what we were all dressed up for, when we told him a bachelorette party, he said, "why don't i just put y'all in a limo?!" OKAY!

After dinner, Syd and I in the party bus.

BESTS! Erin, Jennifer and I

ag tour

01 September 2011

The boss was in the state most all of August and we had so much fun visiting the southern part of the state. I got to go to my first hog farm! We got to wear those full white body suits, a few layers of plastic boots, masks, and gloves... seriously took me about 5 shampoos to get the smell out of my hair. That scent was foul and I'd be okay if I never went back.

We also go to visit a watermelon farm with tons of cows and gators, first bakery ever... it was really neat, they make all the breadsticks for fazolis and that cinnabon bread you see at the grocery... lots of stuff i've seen a million times but had no idea it came from Hope, AR! Pretty sweet, here's some pics....

Matt and I at the hog farm in Kirby, AR

Priscilla and I

Stacey, Matt, Tracy and I @ Southern Bakeries in Hope, AR~ no open toe shoes allowed in the bakery, tennis shoes and dresses it is!

Those plastic boots were amazing for dancing....

Thankfully the Ag tour is just once a year... I kid, I loved it!!
