Pinterest Recipe Reviews - Desert Edition

I've tried quite a few recipes from Pinterest and I thought I would do a quick review of them for you (if anyone is actually reading this :)) and for me so I can remember which ones I've tried and should make again.

I'll just stick with deserts for this post or else it could get really long and I'll spare you....

Unfortunately, I don't have any of my own pictures so I'll just use the ones from the link with the recipe.

Pinned ImageThese are claimed to be the best peanut butter chocolate chip cookies....and I think they are pretty darn good but I'm a sucker for peanut butter. The only thing is I feel like they get dry quickly, but it makes a small batch so if you have more then a couple people in your house they'll go fast so they won't be sitting around to get dry.

Alright, so this recipe was a bit of a disaster for me. One of the comments on the recipe said that it kind of sinks in the middle so put it upside down (like you would a regular angel food cake) but this did not work for me...it fell out...on to the counter. We still tried it and I made fresh whipped cream to go on top. It was okay but I don't think I'll make this one again.





I literally just made these. The recipe is pretty easy to make and if you like nutella this might be a good recipe for you. I love peanut butter cookies and I had some nutella I needed to use so I thought I'd give them a shot. I used the top of a water bottle to make the hole to put the nutella in. These are pretty intense and you get that feeling that it might stick in your throat...definitely keep a drink near by when eating these. The flavor is delish though. Not sure if I'd make these again but  they were fun to make once. Also, I did have to bake them a little longer  than it said and letting them sit a minute before making the hole for the nutella helps too. http://delightfulbitefuls.blogspot.ca/2011/02/peanut-butter-nutella-cookie-cups.html


These "s'more cookies" were soooo yummy...soo bad but sooo yummy. They are super easy to make too. The one thing I want to remember when I make these again (because I will) is that the 1.5 cups of marshmallow fluff is the whole jar....measuring that stuff out is a pain in the rear.

I went to the link I used to make these oatmeal cream pies and the recipe is GONE!!!! It links to a different kind of oatmeal pie. I just made this recipe 2 weeks ago so I know if was there! I will have to find the recipe again because these were delish! I found a similar recipe for oatmeal pies but its not the one I made so I can't tell you how this one turns out. The picture I have is from the recipe that I actually made not the link below. Man I'm bummed....that's what I get for not printing the recipe. Ronnie says these were his favorite of all the Pinterest desert recipes I've made.





Well that's it for now. Let me know if you like this kind of blog post and maybe I'll do one for regular food :) Also, let me know if you've made any of these before and what you thought!

Pumpkin Patch






Ronnie's parents are in town and on Saturday we took them to help us pick
out some pumpkins at the pumpkin patch.

We picked three nice pumpkins which I'm sure you'll see in the future when we carve them :)
