Hello friends and happy friday! Hope you all enjoyed some photography tips that I shared earlier this week from the IFBC photography session. I will go through my notes and share some info on the other sessions I attended, but for now I am joining Lindsay over at the Lean Green Bean for a Pin It Party!
Bloggers, doesn’t matter what kind- craft bloggers, mom bloggers, food bloggers, get a TON of traffic from Pinterest so we are all sharing posts we’d like to see pinned.
Please support your favorite blogs and pin stuff because it helps others find our content and that makes us happy! Speaking of Pinterest, my friend sent me this link from Parade magazine online to The Most Popular Recipes on Pinterest in Each of the 50 States and check out Illinois’ favorite! That would be my post- the Southwestern Egg Rolls! Whoa! So Crazy. I knew it was my most popular pinned recipe just from the traffic I get on it, but I never would’ve guessed it was the most pinned of the state. You can find the recipe here!
So today I will share a couple of my recent post and a couple old posts that I’d love to be shared. And thanks in advance for sharing!
Grilled Vegetable Sandwich with Pesto & Garlic Yogurt Dressing {Gluten Free option}
I am already craving this sandwich again. It’s so worth the effort and is great as leftovers. You can reheat the veggie or eat them cold. Add cheese if you want- so good!
Kid-Friendly Fried Rice {Vegetarian, Gluten Free}
I really love this simple dish. I have made far more complicated fried rice dishes, but love this meat-free, simple kid version. It comes together in no time and is a great way to use you leftover rice!
Greek Salad Bites {Vegetarian, Gluten Free}
These are so fun and easy for a potluck or party appetizer. Great for the upcoming Holiday season.
Gingery Pork Meatballs {Gluten Free adaptable}
Oh man, this was before I had a clue about photography but it’s still an awesome dish. Like really, really yummy. I’ve got to put this on the dinner menu soon. I actually just bought some organic beef because the kids were requesting burgers so maybe I’ll try it with that!
Gingerbread Cupcakes
Now that it’s October we all know the treat posts will start come flooding in. I was just thinking about the Holiday flavors and remembered these gingerbread cupcakes. The frosting, on the frosting is so yummy.
While we are taking about Pinterest, if you aren’t following me yet, please do! You can find me HERE. I am in the process of slowly reorganizing my boards so some might look bare as I try to create new, more organized ones. I have been neglected that chore for too long!
Happy pinning!
