May Recipes

I try very hard to not cook the same things over and over.  Of course we have our family favorites, but I also enjoy cooking new things.  I try to cook something new each week.  In the past, I have subscribed to many cooking magazines to get new ideas.  I would tear out recipes that interested me.  Just recently I create a new organized way to store and save these recipes.  You can read about that here - Recipe Binder.  Now I have Pinterest :) The nice thing about Pinterest is I don't have to print off the recipes.  I can pin them to my boards and quickly access them on my iPad when I am meal planning and cooking.  Here are my recipe boards if you want to take a look:
                               Yummy Snacks                                   Slow Cooker
                               Delicious Desserts                                Soups
                               Drinks                                                  Daily Dinners
                               Good Morning Breakfast                       Lunches

Here are some amazing recipes that I tried this past month.  I found all of these on Pinterest.











Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken
This sandwich was amazing.  My husband and I love buffalo wings so we are always willing to try anything with the word 'buffalo' in it.  It was extremely easy to make and the fact that it is a weight watchers recipe is an added bonus.

Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bake












Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bake
I really try to make something special for breakfast on Sunday mornings.  I make the cinnamon rolls found in a can very often so I was excited to find some new way to cook with them.  Again, it was very easy and was a big hit with the family.

Peanut Butter Granola Wraps
I am trying to eat healthier and I hear over and over again how important it is to eat breakfast.  My mornings are very busy so I am on the lookout for quick breakfast meals that I can eat on the go while I am driving to work.  This one fit the bill and was delicious.  The cool thing is the recipe is very flexible.  You could switch out the fruit or use Nutella instead of peanut butter to get a total different flavor.










Skinny Chocolate Chip Buttermilk Scones
I could eat these all day long.  I have made these as a snack to have with a cup of coffee in the afternoon and I have made it as a breakfast on the go (what girl doesn't like chocolate for breakfast!)
