Pinterest Reviews

Since I've joined the Pinterest obsession, I've been trying plenty of new recipes. Some are great and others were disappointing. Here are my reviews for what I've tried so far:

Lemon-7 UP Cake
This was super easy! It tasted yummy and was a light dessert. I would make it again if I wanted something quick and lemon-y!

Weight Watchers Blueberry Peach Cobbler
This one was a disappointment. I love cobblers but this one was more like a cake with peaches in it. I couldn't find blueberries, so I just did peach. I wouldn't make it again.

Green Smoothies
I am in love with these! I've heard of them before, but was too scared to try them. I decided to go for it and I'm a big fan. They are really easy to make, and there are so many options. I put whatever fruit I have (frozen or fresh), a couple spoonfuls of plain greek yogurt, ice, spinach, and a little juice. It's fun seeing the weird colors I can make!

Dr. Pepper Ice Cream
My mom made this before I came back to New York. It tasted just like a Dr. Pepper float. I'd make it again if I had an ice cream maker! Easy to do also!

Snickerdoodle Cupcakes
This was a from scratch recipe, which I rarely do. I like things to be as quick and easy as possible. This wasn't too complicated, but it did take awhile. You have to scoop out the dough/cake mix and coat it with a cinnamon/sugar mixture. I love snickerdoodles and this turned out pretty good. I might try another recipe next time since I've seen a few out there.

Strawberry Shortcake Sushi
This was such a fun thing to eat! It is a bit of a process to make, but it is worth it for entertaining! It tasted great too! You have to do this in a couple of steps. The cake is made from scratch, then it bakes and cools for at least an hour. Then you make the filling and roll it. It needs to set and chill for awhile before you cut it. Make sure you roll the cake right or it will be very difficult for the roll to stay together.

Broccoli Salad
I have made this twice and it has been a hit. If you buy whole broccoli heads, you have to cut them up. If you buy regular bacon, it takes awhile to cook. I did the fully cooked bacon which saved a lot of time. This is something that can easily be made the night before and left in the fridge.

Jello Poke Cupcakes
I made these with a white cake mix and lime jello. I was a little disappointed by these. They tasted fine, but I was wanting more jello texture in there.

I know these reviews aren't very detailed, but you get the main idea. I have a couple more I am planning on trying soon! For recipes, here is my food pinboard. http://pinterest.com/ashley_emmert/food/
