PP #4: Skinny Taco Dip

Pinterest Party # 4: 
Skinny Taco Dip

My goal is to post my Pinterest Party on Thursdays. Oops! A lot has happened this week with last Thursday being our moving day from London back to Chicago. I'm not surprised, not even a little bit, that this post hasn't happened until now. Yep, it's 5 AM and I've been up since 4. Oh, how fun it is adjusting to the time change.

My thoughts: Since Superbowl Sunday was THIS PAST weekend, I thought this would be the perfect pin of the week. It tasted delicious but was too soupy for a taco dip. I am definitely going to give this exact recipe one more try since it tasted so yummy. Ingredients, especially anything Mexican, and measurements are different in London so I'm going to try again now that I'm back home. Their taco seasoning tastes a bit BBQy. Gross, right? Or, maybe it was just the chef's mistake the first time around.

Pinterest Party #3 : bachelorette card and bling

Pinterest follow through # 3: bachelorette card and bling

When I came across this quote on Pinterest I pinned it to 'my sister's wedding' board. It's a bit of an inside joke between us that I'm not going to explain here. I was pleasantly surprised to click on the attached website to find out that it's a card. Better late than never. It definitely arrived the day after her big bash. Oops!

My idea was to add these cute bling ice cubes to my sister's and the bridal party's champagne as we were getting ready. Not only did I forget to get them out of the freezer, once I remembered (the next day) they were close to impossible to get out! Not worth the time.

Pinterest Party #2: asparagus

Pinterest follow through #2 : The best way to make asparagus. 

Quoted from a previous pinner, "The absolute best way to cook asparagus, and SO SIMPLE! Season with olive oil, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese; bake 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes."

I know this isn't rocket science and I'm sure many of you are laughing at me, but I need baby steps when it comes to cooking. Thanks to Pinterest, I am inspired to continue to learn. 

My overall opinion: The previous pinner nailed it. It is the easiest and best way to cook asparagus in my opinion too. I always buy the thinnest asparagus in the store b/c that's Michael's preference. I also have to admit that I probably use way too much parmesan cheese. Boy, is this vegetable our current favorite on our dinner table! I know what you're thinking...asparagus pee, which if you didn't know, is hereditary! Not everyone who is reading this knows what I'm talking about or has experienced the smell. Who knew?
