Tried And True Pinterest Recipes

I can personally attest to their deliciousness.

In my humble opinion, Pinterest is just about the best website in existence. I get to avoid responsibilities while pretending to gather information that I'll use some day. The likelihood of that actually happening? Slim to none. However, one board is beneficial enough that I try out the pins on it. This board is creatively titled "Food." Here's a few of my favorite finds (the recipes can be found by clicking on the pictures):

1. Zucchini Lasagna

Since I have a rebellious streak and don't usually follow recipes completely, I made mine the classic lasagna way, instead of making roll-ups and swapped the ricotta cheese for cottage cheese. Overall, delicious, and definitely worth the hand cramps I got from grating all that zucchini.

2. Peaches and Cream Crepes

I may or may not have totally failed at flipping said crepes and ended up with several chunks of skinny-looking pancakes, but I have a sister who saved my cooking endeavor and we ended up with several beautiful crepes. My changes: I don't even know what mascarpone cheese is, so I used cream cheese for the filling.

3. Broccoli Tots

About 50 percent of these actually stuck together, but they tasted A-maz-ing.

4. Cauliflower Quinoa Meatballs

Disclaimer: I'm a complete wimp when it comes to spicy things, so "buffalo" isn't even a word in my culinary vocabulary. Dairy free butter also did not happen. As a result, my meatballs, were more of a patty. Still good!

5. Deep Dish Fudgy Oatmeal Bars

They're as good as they look!

6. Sausage Pepper Fettuccini Skillet

I've made this one a few times now and drool a little when I think about it. It's an easy recipe to play around a bit with the ingredients, and I encourage you to do so!

7. Tomato Avocado Melt

I like to make this in more of a grilled cheese style. Then I mix some of Emril Lagasse's Baby Bam with a little may and spread it on. It has become one of my favorite college meals.

8. Lasagna Soup

Lasagna is beautiful in all forms, but you might want to make sure you rip up the noodles into the size shown in the recipe. I started out strong, but by the end I was throwing the whole noodles in. That makes it quite difficult to consume, in case you were wondering.

9. Funfetti Pancakes

These pancakes are a wise choice if you're a fan of birthday cake variations.

10. Lunch Lady Brownies

For years I have been on a hunt to find a recipe that tastes like the brownies I had in elementary school, and this is the closest I've found so far.

11. Cheeseburger Casserole

This recipe combines several of my favorite foods, so there was really no way it could be bad.

I had to exit out of Pinterest because I was becoming ravenous from looking at all the food, but I highly encourage you to try these recipes.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
