Pinterest. It's a Problem.

In the early stages of Pinterest I was largely able to ignore it's allure because I had JUST finished planning my wedding and I needed a break from all things organizing.

That lasted about 5 minutes.

I was just starting to get a little bit curious when  I found out that you had to be invited to join. Which meant, of course, I had an immediate need to be a part of the ultra-exclusive community. (I'm a museum guard's worst nightmare and  a marketer's dream.)

So, I impatiently awaited an invite and snapped up my membership. Two months later, I am in LOVE with Pinterest. Unfortunately, it's the bad kind of the love. It's a "your friends and family are likely going to have to stage an intervention" kind of love.

They say the first step towards recovery is acknowledging the problem.

New plan.

Here are the fabulous things I cooked this weekend that I learned about from my very bestest friend Pinterest:


(This one needed quite a few changes, you can find those HERE.)





(Just use whole wheat bread and completely omit the butter step, it's 100% unnecessary)


(I used whole wheat flour.They are GREAT with yogurt and fruit, but I would not give them to a child (or to me) as a substitute for Oreos.)


(My picture was not worthy of being posted, but it was worthy of seconds..and maybe thirds...)



In conclusion, Pinterest; You are a time suck and a total distraction, but I do love you so.
