Pinterest Inspires Again

Pinterest helped me with one of my monthly goals this week.  (Oh what I didn't post my October monthly goals?!  Oops, my bad.  I had every intention.  Well, actually I had every intention to post a lot of things this month and it just didn't happen.  November is a new month right?!?)  Meal planning this week was easy thanks to all the pins on my "Let's Eat" board. 

Monday night I made chili.  I think the recipe was pretty good.  Nice subtle heat on the back.  One change I would make in the future - I wouldn't use any sugar and I'd probably use a beer instead of the wine.  But overall, I could use the recipe again.





Wednesday night we planned to have tuna and sauteed spinach.  I thought we needed a little something to go with it.  I found this recipe by Pioneer Woman.  I modified a little but it was still great.  Only thing to change for the future is more chili for heat.  (My modification was to use garlic chili paste, but I guess I didn't use enough.)




Last night we tried two recipes.  Balsamic Flank Steak and Jalapeno Mac and Cheese.  Both were very yummy!  The flank steak had a nice flavor.  I did not modify the recipe at all.  However, in the future I would probably not use the brown sugar (what is it with the sugar being added to these recipes) and might add some olive oil.  The Mac and Cheese was great!!  I only had one jalapeno so I added a serrano chili.  Um, yeah, lots of heat.  But it was good.  Modification in the future, maybe a little less flour.

And last week I tried this salad for lunch.  It was really good.  I changed the dressing ratio, but otherwise made it as is.  I've had it twice.  Nice alternative to a traditional green salad.





So tell me.....any recipe pins out there I need to repin?
