These Are a Few of My Favorite Pinterest Things

I used to be anti-pinterest, but now I'm all for it. Well, I'm still anti-"pinterest things you will never make but just like to look at" because that's just a waste of time, but I love trying out new things that seem do-able. Here are the top five things I've tried out from pinterest:

1. Pumpkin Pie French Toast

This recipe is perfect for fall! It was SO GOOD! It's like pumpkin pie... but french toast. How could you go wrong? We made it with whipped cream and syrup.

2. Avocado Hummus

I liked this hummus better than the kind I get at the store. So if you are a hummus person, this super-cheap/healthy recipe is a must. I already bought the ingredients to make it again.

3. Stuffed Shells

Anyone who knows me well knows that I LOVE experimenting with tofu. I will never understand the bad rap it gets--it really just takes on the flavor of whatever it's mixed with. Plus, it's way good for you. These tofu shells are so sneakily healthy. Everyone I've fed them to loves them, and is shocked when I tell them the center is tofu. I've made this dish like 5 times--that's how much I love it. I also sometimes make it pasta-style, using the same ingredients but with regular noodles, and crumbling/frying the tofu instead of blending it.

4. Tofu and Mushroom Saute with sauce

K, this dish was AMAZING! Probably my favorite of this list because the taste is so unique. It even has a hint of peanut in it. I would recommend this recipe to anyone, even to picky eater. Try something new!

5. Fading Color Nails

So this isn't food (obviously) but I couldn't leave it off my list. It's super easy to do and looks way cool. It's fun to try with different colors.

This is what my nails turned out like--obviously terrible picture quality (my phone's a dinosaur.)


There you go--I hope you try some of these ideas out!

PS--A lady at the school I'm observing at asked me if I was a student this week. I need to start wearing more makeup or something.

PPS--I start observing at the high school tomorrow! I''m so excited, but now I'm reeeally gonna look like a student.
