5 Pinterest Recipes That Actually Work

In This Article:

Confession #1: I am a Pinterest addict.

Confession #2: My Pinterest recipes have a less-than-stellar success rate.

I don't know what it is. Maybe it's due to less-than-clear instructions, a different set of taste buds, or simply bad recipes. Anyways, it seems that when I pull recipes from Pinterest, they have the tendency to flop the first time around.

With that in mind, here are five Pinterest recipes that have been crash-tested by yours truly and actually deserve the title "Pinterest-worthy."

1. These amazingly perfect waffles.

They're fluffy, thick, lightly sweet, and buttery. If you're feeling extra fancy, sprinkle some mini chocolate chips or cinnamon and clove into the batter.

If you don't have buttermilk on hand, just substitute one cup of milk mixed with one tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar for every cup of buttermilk used. Mix the two together and let sit for at least five minutes.

2. This healthy and yummy dinner.

Lean meat, colorful veggies, and flavorful seasonings make this roasted one-pan dinner delicious, while the quick prep time and the limited amount of dishes make it convenient. Customize it by changing up the spices and veggies to suit your mood.

3. A creamy curry recipe that will fill you up.

The combination of curry paste and canned coconut milk creates the perfect amount of heat, tempered by the luscious coconut milk (it truly is luscious – I can and do eat it with a spoon). Serve it with rice or flatbread, and you have an easy-to-make exotic dish.

4. Carrot cake muffins!

Okay, okay. So they are actually called "Healthy Applesauce Carrot Muffins," but I think that "Carrot Cake Muffins" is a bit more accurate. They are sweet, they are moist, and they are the perfect option for breakfast, snacks, or even dessert. PRO TIP: make a glaze of milk, cinnamon, and powdered sugar to drizzle on top with a sprinkle of coconut. Your taste buds will thank you.

5. This classy Earl Grey tea cake.

A cake so posh that you'll pick up a British accent after just one bite! Okay, not really, but this tea-flavored cake is truly a delicious, classy showstopper!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
