I believe I’ve mentioned before my love for Pinterest. I can lose precious minutes, oh who am I kidding…..hours looking at everything on there. I find room ideas for my future dream cottage, and outfits I want to buy when I can justify the money and might be able to look good in them again, and arts and crafts, and tons and tons of recipes.
Last fall it started with arts and crafts day with my sister when I saw this wreath:
And decided I wanted my own:
Turned out great you think? Well, the wreath lasted one season as I believe the hot glue I used wasn’t hot enough? I didn’t know hot glues had different temperatures. Oh well, the wreath is no more.
Lately I’ve decided to make the recipes and went a little hardcore.
Thursday nights are golf widow nights at my place so last week I attempted pizza balls and cheesecake strawberries. Both turned out great! The strawberries don’t look as beautiful as they could have but I only have limited time when G naps so it had to be quick. If you are going to make the pizza balls creating the balls without getting pizza sauce everywhere is time consuming and if you’d like to make the strawberries, the bigger the strawberries the better.
Here is pizza ball info:

Next was the breakfast casserole. This recipe was tricky as it is an American recipe with American ingredients you can’t find here so I had to substitute as I didn’t have time this week for a cross border trip. I am assuming the sausage crumbles in the recipe are maybe spiced as I found the casserole to be bland and opted for cereal instead.
So, I’m all ‘cooked’ out for a while as I’m going to eat nothing but air for the next 2 months so the bridesmaid dress fits. I’m also going to spend my spare minutes doing lunges and push-ups and power walks…..
If you’d like to follow me on Pinterest I’m ja9
