How Pinterest-ing: Parmesan Baked Potato Halves

I am back with another Pinterest inspired recipe.  I decided to give a potato recipe a try and the one I chose looked good and didn't require any ingredients I didn't already have.



I first cut all the potatoes in half.  Then melted the butter.  I forgot to take pictures of the process up until I put the potatoes in the pan.  Bad Blogger!


 
45 minutes later I had parmesan potatoes!


 
They were really good but if I make them again (which my husband said I must do) I will add more parmesan in the pan.  Some of them were not completely covered but they all tasted great!
 
Has anyone else tried a recipe from Pinterest?
Did you love it or hate it?

How Pinterest-ing - Pizzadilla

As I stated in my prior post, I am going to attempt 1 thing a week from Pinterest and post about it here.  My first attempt at a Pinterest inspired meal came in the form of The Pizzadilla.

 
 
I figured I already had most things on hand already so this would be an easy first attempt at a Pinterest recipe.  So without further ado, this is how is all shook out!
 
First I laid out everything I wanted in my pizzadilla.  Since I do not eat meat it was a no brainer to fill mine with veggies.  I put in onion, green and red peppers, tomato, and mozzarella cheese.  I laid it all out on 1 of the flour tortillas.  Put the other one on top and popped it into the sprayed pan. 
 
Rocket science I know!

 
 
 
Once it began golden on one side  flipped it over.  
If I am blowing your mind too much please sit down!

 


Once I had cooked it to my liking I cut it into pieces as pictured in the photo.  I filled a small dish with pizza sauce for dipping.  This is my best attempt at presenting my finished product. 

 
I am sure my picture looks just a scrumptious as the one from Pinterest.  This helped me realize that food photography is not my calling but I can live with that.  The golden brown color of the tortilla in the Pinterest picture did not translate into my creation.  They had to have used a whole grain tortilla.  Consider that my contribution.  My girl Bethenny Frankel always says "use what you have" so I did!  I knew something from her Skinnygirl Rules book would come in handy other then her margaritas !

 
Well in the end it tasted like a quesadilla made with mozzarella cheese.  It really didn't much flavor so the odds I will make it again are slim but that didn't stop me from eating the entire thing!
 
 
What can I say I was hungry and I didn't want to make anything else!
 
Has anyone else tried a recipe from Pinterest? 
What did you make and how did it turn out?

Summer Beer Recipe

When I was down in Kentucky this past weekend for my cousin Shonda's bridal shower she introduced me to a new drink that I have to admit was pretty darn tasty!  Now the ingredients would never be thought of by me to mix together but they magically mix rather well to create a refreshing drink with a heck of a kick. 

Summer Beer

2 12oz beers of your choice (we used Miller Light)
1 can of strawberry lemonade concentrate (defrosted)
2 12oz cans of ginger ale
Vodka

In a pitcher pour in the lemonade concentrate, using the can from the concentrate fill it with vodka and add it to the pitcher.  Mix in the 2 cans of beer and 2 cans of ginger ale.
Mix together and pour over ice.

ENJOY!
