Confessions of a Pinterest Addict

Every year for my parent's anniversary I'm in charge of making them a nice cake.  And I have tried to start a tradition with this. One year it's my mom's favorite dessert: black forest cake. The following is my dad's favorite: tiramisu. And finally, the third year is a surprise. It sounds complicated but it's really fun to do it this way and a lot easier. The hard part is to find that "perfect" recipe. Whenever it's about a month until their anniversary, I start my Pinterest hunt on that perfect recipe.  This year it was my dad's favorite: tiramisu. And so I searched through hundreds of pins until I found one that had everything I wanted. The recipe was fairly easy and I had access to all of the ingredients and it even included a YouTube video which is amazing! And I mean, look at how delicious it looks! I took that image from her website.  This pin was taken from Recipe Tin Eats , they have many incredible recipes that I will for ...

Some months ago I had to bring a dessert to a friend's dinner and I really wanted to try something new. So what did I do? I went to my loyal Pinterest! And I found something I have never ever tried before! A Lemon Loaf! And not just any but a copycat one of Starbucks, which so far, the copycat recipes I have tried are actually really good! The Pin I found was by Jen from CincyShopper, here is a link to the recipe from her web and you can find the Pin here . Her recipes are AMAZING! You should go check them out! The recipe itself is really easy and affordable. It makes 2 loaves which 1 loaf actually was good for 10 people, but if you want thicker slices, then it will feed fewer people. I did do some adjustments because here in Spain (where I currently live) there aren't some things that recipe called for, or they are very hard to find and when you do find them, they are VERY expensive. The original recipe ingredients were: A picture of the Pin for the recipe ...

   I've been debating whether or not I should start this blog or not, and then after some encouragement from my lovely mom and my very supportive husband, I did! I have been a huge Pinner for some time now (sometimes a bit obsessed) and I love trying everything I Pin about. I love DIYs, nail designs, decorating and my ultimate favorite: baking! And basically anything on Pinterest!          So the thing is, as most of you Pinners out there know, sometimes I doubt whether or not the things we see on Pinterest really work or not. And I have googled a lot of times if something really works or not, sometimes I do find it and a lot of times I don't. This leads me to think about this blog! It's basically trying out the pins I've done and said my experience with them or some suggestions, while also showing and explaining my own pins. You can follow me on Pinterest and even suggest some pins I should try out! I hope you enjoy it!
