Tag Archive: Pinterest Experiments

I find a lot of great ideas on Pinterest… but pinning something doesn’t do anything unless I actually, you know, try the idea. So I thought it’d be fun to challenge myself to do at least one Pinterest experiment every week — and blog my results.

I can’t promise that I’ll always have a Pinterest Experiment post up each week, because you know how I sometimes get distracted or on blog tangents. But I’m at least going to try. By the way, you can follow my Pinterest account here, if you’re interested.

I promised to tell you how the Cookie in a Cup Experiment went… and I’m happy to report that it was a success.

It was super easy to whip up. It probably took me about 3 minutes from start to finish.

It turned out beautifully and tasted delicious. Though I have to say that it would have been even better with a big scoop of ice cream.

One thing I loved about this recipe is that it just makes a small amount — the perfect little dessert to share amongst two people (especially if you have that ice cream!). It doesn’t make much of a mess. It doesn’t heat up your house. And you don’t have three dozen cookies sitting around begging to be eaten later in the day. 🙂

I definitely liked this recipe better than the Chocolate Chip Cookies for Two recipe I made not too long ago. But if you want to make a larger batch of cookies ahead of time and aren’t worried about them disappearing and don’t mind using your oven, I highly recommend this Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie recipe.

So, I guess you could say I have a thing for carbs… or at least it certainly seems like it since that’s what I’m usually pinning on my Recipes I Want to Try Board.

This week, I tried two recipe ideas I found on Pinterest and, believe it or not, both were successful. Yes, I know, that just might be a first! 🙂

I was intrigued by this Two-Ingredient Bread and just had to try it out. {Yes, I used pineapple yogurt. That’s what I had, so I figured it was worth a shot. Surprisingly, you couldn’t even taste the pineapple in the finished dough!}

While I wouldn’t say that it’s easier than my Bread Machine Bread recipe since it requires kneading, it was quite simple and it worked. I ended up using it as a pizza crust, since I had some extra cheese from the dinner I was making that night.

And I made the Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread yesterday. It was easy and so yummy. My family raved about it and the loaf didn’t last long at all. 🙂

These One-Hour Cinnamon Rolls looked promising. And they were fairly easy to make (I used my KitchenAid to mix the dough).

However, I think that my Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls still beat this recipe out by a long shot — and the Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls only take about 20 minutes of actual prep time to make. (You gotta try the Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls if you have already. Trust on this; it’s a winner recipe!)

I was excited to try the Cracker Barrel Pancakes. They were good and hearty, but I still think that our regular pancake recipe is better.

I had really high hopes for these Olive Garden Breadsticks. Unfortunately, I didn’t think they lived up to their name.

They were decent, but nowhere near fantastic. It may have been because I used half whole-wheat flour and salted butter (because that’s all I had).

I love this Bread Machine Bread Stick Recipe much, much more. But maybe that’s because I prefer my breads to be more on the sweet and fluffy side?
