It’s no secret that I love/hate Pinterest. Right? One of my favorite things to do is find new recipes on there. It seems like lately, I’ve had a string of bad luck with the recipes where my family hasn’t really been a huge fan of whatever new thing I’ve tried. So, I thought I’d share 10 recipes that I found, cooked, and most of us loved (you can’t please everyone) and that I have cooked at least twice.
So, if it made this list, then you know that I’ve eaten it a couple of times, it’s yummy, and it’s something that I will continue to rotate in my family’s nightly meals. I’ll leave a little blurb above the recipe I’m referring to and the source below it. Enjoy!
*********
This one was a little time intensive and had a lot of steps. I was frustrated with that, but when we tasted it? It was SOO good, I think I will definitely keep it around.
Pineapple Cashew Fried Rice from How Sweet It Is
I’ve made this one too many times to count. It turns out perfect every time and is the perfect side dish!
Cheesy Broccoli Quinoa from Closet Cooking
These sugar cookies are to DIE for. I love the frosting more than the cookies, but both are fabulous. If you already have a sugar cookie you love, try using her recipe for the frosting at least.
Swig Sugar Cookies @ Vintage Revivals
This one I just made recently. It was good, but the biggest reason why it made the list is because it was quick and easy!
Simple Sesame Noodles from Nest Full of New
I’ve never done a one pot pasta, and we all LOVED it. Also super easy and quick to prepare.
One Pot Wonder Tomato Basil Pasta from Apron Strings Blog
I didn’t care that my kids weren’t big fans of this one….I loved it enough for all of us!
Spicy Roasted Vegetable Mac and Cheese from The Comfort of Cooking
I’ve made this soup too many times to count. I used to work at Olive Garden, and to me, it tastes pretty dang close to theirs. We make it all. the. time. Kids love it too!
Crockpot Zuppa Toscana (Olive Garden Copycat Recipe) from Key Ingredient
I love avocados, and this one is SO good.
Smashed Chickpea & Avocado Salad from Two Peas and Their Pod
If you like Indian, you have to try this soup. SO yummy, and it got lost in my recipes, so this one is going on the list to make this week again probably.
Red Lentil Coconut Soup from Scaling Back
And, if you bake bread (I don’t, but my husband does) and are looking for a good, simple, whole-wheat one, this one is it!! My husband has been making it so often that I’ve stopped buying bread. And, it’s a whole-wheat that my kids actually prefer over white bread. Simple ingredients and only 6 of them.
Skip’s Basic Bread from Word of Wisdom Living
Let me know if you try one and love it! I’m sure you can’t go wrong with any of these.
You saved me here! So grateful for these recipes!!!!
Oh Good! Let me know which ones you try! 🙂
That pineapple fried rice looks interesting, I might go crazy and try it!
It really is SO yummy!! I added chicken to it that I cooked in some teriyaki sauce. YUM!
Thanks for posting all these. I will definitely be making the Cheesy Quinoa! Looks really yummy!
I LOVE this post! I have a Meal Planning board that I am trying to load up so that every week I can have a variety to choose from. I pinned all of yours 🙂 I have the Hearty Zuppa Toscana one too…soooo delicious!!
And now I’m hungry…
Ha! Sorry. Every time I see that picture for those sugar cookies, my mouth waters.
I am officially starving now. Surprisingly I’ve never tried any of them and I’m a Pinterest junkie. I’ll have to give a few of them a go. Another great one pot meal is the chicken lo mein from Pinterest. Super easy.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll have to go look for it!
I love hearing about possible (because it’s never a guarantee) kid friendly recipes. I’ve now pinned most of these to my own boards to try out, thanks!
But which one to make for dinner tonight… Too busy drooling.
Oh, I have pinned this & may have to try a few of these. We already make the Zuppa on a regular basis. Who doesn’t loev that soup 😉
I am following you on social media, stopping by from the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Party
Thx for following Tamara! Glad you stopped by. Yes, that Zuppa recipe is SOO good.
This is an awesome round up! I’ll go off to check some of these out! Stopping by form SITS FB Group!
Thanks for stopping by!! They are all delicious. Hope you find one you love too. 🙂
I’ll have to try that bread recipe! Thanks for linking up to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Party. I have pinned your post to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Board.
Happy SITS day, it’s great to meet you! Love that you put this together. I am a huge Pinterest fan (just started following you) but always wonder if someone liked a recipe enough to make it more than once. I will be pinning some of these and giving them a try because I know they were good enough to eat twice. 🙂
Thank you for stopping by! 🙂 They are all really good, so hopefully you won’t be disappointed. I have to do more of these round up posts because I cook so many that aren’t good. Which I would like to do a post of those, but am worried of offending the other bloggers. But, there are some that are definite fails on my “recipes to try” board. 🙂
These all look delicious, but the two recipes I am dying to try most would have to be the sugar cookies and the avocado chickpea salad. You can never go wrong with avocados on anything and I don’t think anyone could ever turn down a sugar cookie! You really can find anything on Pinterest!
All these recipes look delicious! I can’t wait to try the chickpea and avocado salad!!
