Meal Review Monday #13: Banana Bread Pancakes
Welcome to Meal Review Monday, where I review Pinterest recipe finds.
Up this week: Banana Bread Pancakes from Chef-in-Training.
I love banana bread, and I love pancakes, so I just had to try this recipe! I mean, what could be better than two breakfast treats in one?

Meal Review Monday #12: Gratineed Pineapple
Welcome to Meal Review Monday, where I review Pinterest recipe finds.
On the menu today: Gratineed Pineapple by Wives with Knives. (I just love that blog name! Hilarious.)
Phew! This weekend has been a blur, to say the least! A family wedding on Saturday and moving into our new home (yay!) on Sunday has left this momma worn out!
The wedding was lovely, though, and it is indescribably nice to be in a house again with my little family after spending the last two years in a shoebox-sized apartment. We have space to stretch, and breathe, and create, and cook!
You know by now that I love cooking, and things like weddings inspire me to cook fancier things. I would say this dish qualifies as fancy.

Meal Review Monday #10: Knock You Naked Brownies
Welcome to Meal Review Monday, where I review Pinterest recipe finds.
I can't believe this is the 10th week of Meal Review Monday! In honor of this small milestone, and the fact that the recipe I reviewed last week was a dud, I wanted to share a truly great recipe with you today.

Meal Review Monday #7: Stuffed Mini Peppers
Welcome to Meal Review Monday, where I review Pinterest recipe finds.
Happy Memorial Day! I hope you all get some time today to relax with your family and friends and remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
The recipe I'm reviewing today would be quick to add to your picnic menu this afternoon: Stuffed Mini Peppers. They're so simple and tasty.

Meal Review Monday #6: Pan-Seared Brussels Sprouts
Welcome to Meal Review Monday, where I review Pinterest recipe finds.
I hope you all had a great weekend! We're busy packing and getting ready to move two states away, so it's been chaotic around here. We will be back in our hometown, though, with all of our immediate family and most of our extended family, which we are super excited about, especially with having a kid now.
In the midst of all this craziness, however, I am still (somehow) finding time to cook.
This week's Pinterest recipe: Pan-Seared Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries and Pecans by Rachel Schultz.
I like brussels sprouts, but I don't have them often, because they're usually kind of boring. I had never tried them in a recipe like this.
Now, if you're not a fan of brussels sprouts, you won't like this recipe, but if you are, you should give it a try. This dish really fancies-up boring old brussels sprouts, and makes an impressive-looking side.
I would recommend using fresh sprouts, though. I used frozen (because the recipe doesn't specify) and mine didn't look nearly as pretty as hers. The taste wasn't affected, though! The combination really worked well: the tart cranberries, the tangy cheese, and the crunchy pecans all complemented the brussels sprouts perfectly.
It didn't take too terribly long to prepare, either. The longest part was prepping the sprouts, but it wasn't too tedious.
All in all, my final rating is 3.5 out of 5 stars. Give it a try the next time you want a fancy side dish!
Have you tried this recipe? Do you agree with my rating?
Need a tasty main dish to go with this recipe? Try my Sweet and Smoky Barbecue Meatballs.

Meal Review Monday #4: Peanut Butter and Greek Yogurt Fruit Dip
Welcome to Meal Review Monday, where I review Pinterest recipe finds.
The first three Meal Review Mondays have featured some not-so-healthy recipes. While I love a good splurge recipeas much as more than the next person, I also love finding healthy foods that also taste good, which is why this week I'm reviewing a healthy fruit dip recipe.

Meal Review Monday #3: Banana Bread Bars with Brown Butter Frosting
Welcome to the third installment of Meal Review Monday, where I review Pinterest recipe finds.
On the menu today: Banana Bread Bars with Brown Butter Frosting.
I had some overripe bananas the other day, and decided I wanted to branch out from my usual banana bread. I perused Pinterest, and decided these tasty bars seemed like just the right thing. That brown butter frosting was calling my name.

Meal Review Monday #2: Beer Mac n Cheese Soup
Welcome to Meal Review Monday, where I review Pinterest recipe finds.
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend and got to spend lots of quality time with your families. This was Baby Girl's first Easter, so of course we had a lot of fun. I love experiencing life through her eyes.

Our church had a petting zoo, complete with pony rides, and a picnic and egg hunt after service, and then we had a cookout with our little family in the evening. It was a long, busy day, but a perfect one. All three of us enjoyed ourselves immensely.

Three-day weekends are lovely, but it sure does make it difficult to get back in the swing of things come Monday morning. In fact, I think Mondays--especially ones after holidays--call for some serious comfort food to help ease the transition back into the work week.

Meal Review Monday #1: Cheese and Nut Stuffed Shells
I've decided to start a weekly feature that I think will be really fun! Meal Review Monday, where I review Pinterest recipe finds.
You all know how much I enjoy cooking, so I'm sure it comes as no surprise that I'm always trying out new recipes I find on Pinterest. Lots of them are great, but some of them are not-so-great. There's nothing more frustrating than spending half the afternoon on "the best ever" new recipe, only to discover it's actually pretty mediocre. Have you noticed that almost every.single.recipe gets called "the best ever"? How are you ever supposed to choose which things to actually make?
