Bite Size Apple Pie

As soon as I came across this recipe for Bite Size Apple Pies on my most favourite website, Pinterest, I knew I had to try it.

It wasn't until the night of the Golden Globes that I finally got a chance. I love the Golden Globes; the stars, the fashion, George Clooney - it's always a good time. But, it's always so looong, so I decided to watch and bake. It was a great decision because within the first hour I was more than a bit restless...

Here is my latest Adventure in Pinterest:

The ingredients

1 c. sugar, 2 tbsp cinnamon (I added more because I love the spice!)

A little buttah - 3tbsp to be exact

After spreading the buttah over the dough, sprinkle on the sugar and cinnamon

Add some apples

And you're ready to roll (see what I did there)

All rolled up an ready to go - bake at 375F

Mid-way through the baking process - about 7 minutes in the oven at 375F

NB: I followed the directions on the crescent dough package, which was a mistake - the moisture in the apples required me to bake them much longer than the Pillsbury-suggested 13 minutes at 375F. However, I do not suggest putting them in longer AND turning the temperature up - this was a huge mistake; I'm impatient, what can I say?! The next time I make these - and I definitely will - I'll just leave them in the oven for a little bit longer.

The final product:

I wish I could describe how amazing they smell as they cook - my apartment has never smelled warmer. But even better, they tasted amazing!

My work lunches just got a whole lot sweeter!

Editor's note: I made these again this past weekend, but omitted the butter - I highly recommend making them this way. A bit healthier and just as tasty. mmm.

Adventures in Pinterest, rd. 3

My third attempt at cooking based on Pinterest finds is a lot like attempt number one.

I am a huge fan of jalapeno poppers, so when I saw this recipe I was a little too excited. Again, I cheated and used Pillsbury dough, but the results were delicious!

So delicious that I may have eaten them all instead of dinner :s But it was worth it.

Who says holiday baking needs to be reserved for cookies?!

Adventures in Pinterest, rd. 2

I've traveled south for the weekend, to make one last visit to my best friend before flying out west for the holidays. To celebrate, we're going to watch "Breaking Dawn" (don't judge, I know you like it too) and while at the movies we're going to munch on this delicious, adult snack:

Vodka Gummy Bears!

I found this recipe on Pinterest and had to try it. Easy, delicious, and made with real fruit juice (at least that's what the packaging said). What's not to love!

All you need is:

gummy bears

and

Vodka
I chose ABSOLUT simply because it was on sale

Combine in a glass bowl
This is very important, as plastic will absorb the vodka-bear smell and you'll never be able to get rid of it. EVER.

Stir.

And then let them sit for at least three days in the fridge and then ENJOY!

Honestly, best movie theatre snack EVER.

Adventures in Pinterest

When I first started using Pinterest I thought it was just another way for me to make lists (I like lists) of things that I covet, but will never own. And, for the first few days it was. And then, I discovered the food and drinks search.

Oh. My. God.

Looking at the pins of food is worse than watching the Food Network, I wanted to eat everything that I saw. After I finally wiped the drool from my face, I noticed that there were a lot of great ideas pinned - a few of which I've tried.

I bring you Adventures in Pinterest.

I'm not really much of a cook. I mean, I can get by, but it's nothing fancy. So when it came time to try my first pinterest recipe I thought I'd keep it simple and make turkey, brie and apple turnovers (my inspiration for this recipe can be found here).

As I mentioned, I'm not much of a cook, so I cheated a bit and used Pillsbury Crescent Rolls instead of making my own dough.

I ignored the Pillsbury provided lines and started off by slicing the dough into rectangles, and then placed the ingredients diagonally on each.

After laying the apple, brie and turkey on the dough, I swaddled them up and got the turnovers ready for the oven.

Bake for 19 minutes and you're done!

Not only was this incredibly easy, but I wrapped the three remaining turnovers and put them in the freezer - perfect for lunches throughout the week!

Easy and delicious - now this is my kind of cooking!
