My Favourite Pins This Week
Chicken Quinoa Enchilada Muffins – because everything is tastier when it’s made in a muffin tin! High and protein and surprisingly easy to make, and are perfect for freeing as well. I don’t love cilantro, so I left that out, but but then I added olives and loved that. Pinterest link is here, and the original recipe post is here.
You know how much I love coconut, and chocolate! So no surprise, I’m a big almond joy cookie fan. These cookies only have 4 ingredients and come together in a snap – sure to please any coconut lovers out there. Pinterest link is here, and the full recipe can be found here.
How to knit socks in any gauge – a perfect sock recipe from Vicki Howell! Loved this, and for those that have only ever knit socks from a typical pattern but wished they better understood sock construction, you are going to love it. Pinterest link is here, full tutorial is here.
Falling down the rabbit hole of all the free embroidery patterns on DMC, I met this charming cat and I’m so smitten. I also think this would be awesome as a ginger cat! Or you could customize, and basically render your cat’s portrait in embroidery, if you are really feeling it. Pinterest link is here, and the free pattern can be found here.
Sometimes it’s a huge help to read a list of tips and tricks for baking. I’ve been baking forever, but there were still some things in here that I didn’t know about – particularly #4, #17, and #22. What new tricks did you find in this list? Pinterest link is here, and the full listicle can be found here.
As you read this, i’m winging my way to TNNA in Cleveland! I’m sure I’ll be taking loads of photos over the next couple of days, and if you want to follow along, I’ll be sharing them on Instagram and Instagram Stories!
