I have a bit of a Pinterest problem. All I seem to do is pin and the majority of my pins are recipes. While I do make the recipes, about two a week, as I keep pinning, the recipes keep getting pushed down into no man Pinterest land. You know, where it takes a minute for the site to fetch the pins. So, I thought that instead of making things that I’d recently pinned, I’d go to the bottom of my page and make things that I pinned a year or more ago.
Tonight’s dinner was one of those pins. This was Fried Quinoa and it was absolutely delicious. I followed the recipe as directed, only I used just two eggs instead of four. Yum. I would definitely make this again. Tasted like Chinese food and was super easy to make.
I also made a dish that I took to work for lunch today.
This was tuna and bean salad, or rather a variation on it. And by variation, I mean, I skipped the oil, onion and cucumber. It was good nonetheless, but I am always a big fan of canned tuna. It’s risky taking it to work when you work in cube-ville, but no one complained about the smell. I personally sort of think tuna smells good, but I know that’s kind of weird. Also, I apparently forgot how to focus my camera.
So I also made another Pinterest recipe but I didn’t like it so you don’t get to hear about that one.
Are you on Pinterest?
I suffer from the same affliction. Maybe I need to start doing this too… after I make that tuna salad! Yum!
I am not on pineterest. I just haven’t made that leap yet. Of all of the social media outlets, I actually prefer fb. I like the flow and I like that I can go back to things easily. Pineterest just seems like a time suck of bookmarks that I would never get back to.
I need to follow your lead. I pin SO MANY recipes and have maybe made ONE of them so far. How sad is that?? So many goodies in there too! The fried quinoa looks good — and um, now I want tuna for lunch, I think I will after seeing your lunch. hehe. I agree -it can be risky to bring that into work (or egg salad, another fave of mine) but it’s so good and it sticks with me given all that protein!
Yum!! What a great idea, scroll to the bottom and pick a recipe! I started going through mine for some ideas too!! These look awesome!
I tend to only pin food that is really beautiful and complicated and I would never make for myself. I do have a huge backlog of recipes in a folder on my bookmarks bar though that I should probably wade through. Of course they’re mostly desserts though.
You always find the best recipes!!!
I have a pinterest problem too! Except my main problem is that I’ve never made a SINGLE recipe that I’ve pinned. So lame.
I always forget about Pinterest. I love it, but it overwhelms me!!
I can’t go on pinterest because I always get so hungry. LOL.
I have just never gotten the Pinterest bug! I belong to it, but rarely ever use it – and I’m sure that I could find about 1000 things that I NEED on there… I just always forget it exists! This is a good thing though- I spend way too much time on Instagram and reading blogs.
