Monday Mingle(10/10)

1. Are you in the Fall/Autumn cooking mood yet?
Of course, I have been making homemade granola, soups and anything with apples! We are planning on baking some pumpkin chocolate chip muffins this weekend. I just got a recipe from my mother-in-law and they sounded delicious! 

2. Do you like Pinterest?
Hi, I'm Jess, and I have a problem. I cannot stop pinning! The food, the crafts, the FUN! I have so many projects for the house, now to get the money to do them all!

Haven't checked Pinterest out yet? go for it, but be warned It's addicting!! 

3. What do you think of the Facebook changes?
I really don't mind them too much. I guess its sort of goofy to have a newsfeed on top on a newsfeed. I'm not addicted to facebook that I'd need to see everyone's every move! Now if it were a pinterest feed, displaying all the new pins recently added I would very much enjoy that!  I'd hate to miss anything on there!

New Year, New Cookbook, A recipe challenge!

I'm sure everyone has been there before, when you feel like your cookbook is on shuffle, for some that might not be a problem, except I don't have many recipes in my cookbook! I've also never been a "strong" cook, I can prepare an okay meal, but outside of the basics, well, we will just say I've got a lot of learning to do!
While planning this weeks meals, I decided what the heck, It's a new year, Why not a new Menu! My Challenge to myself is a month(or more) of totally new recipes, some of them may be simple, but still nothing I've made before.
So where does one go to find a wonderful collection of recipes to try? Why Pinterest, of course!
Here is What I came up with for this week:

Monday:

Chicken Oscar

Tuesday:

Pepperoni Casserole

Wednesday:

Cauliflower Crusted pizza

Thursday:

Poppyseed Chicken Casserole

Saturday:

Chicken Ceasar Sandwiches

Sunday:

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Anyone have any great recipes they'd like to share, or still waiting to try out? Most of mine have been sitting in my pinterest, waiting on me to find the time.

 On Pinterest?

You can , if you've already been sucked into the world of repinning. If you'd like an invite let me know and I can send you one, or you can request one.

This Week's Questions:

1. What did you and your family do for Thanksgiving?

2. What is your favorite way to use Thanksgiving leftovers

3. Fill in the blank: “I really wish I hadn’t eaten so much _______________ on Thanksgiving.

My Answers:

1. We went to my In-laws house for a turkey dinner, and then shopping at midnight! 

2. Well, usually we just eat them, but since we made our own meal and we have a lot more leftovers this year. I will be making turkey noodle soup this week, and I found a recipe somewhere(I cannot remember where now) that was a turkey casserole, It looked yummy! I think we will try that one also! 

3. I really wish I hadn't eaten so much of everything on Thanksgiving. I ate the most sweet potato casserole and mashed potatoes though! It was worth it though.
