I’ve missed Monday Listicles, so I decided to pick a list for today’s post so that I can participate again, even though I’m not sticking with the chosen topic for the week. I worked hard this weekend trying to reorganize my Pinterest boards so that I can find recipes more easily. And it was nice to realize that some of the time I’ve spent pinning has been helpful – we’ve actually made several recipes that I’ve found on Pinterest. I’m always more likely to try a recipe if I know someone else has successfully made it, so I thought I’d share 10 of our successes here today.
1. Pasta with Creamy Cajun Sauce and Sausage
I think this is probably the third time I’ve shared this one because it’s honestly my favorite Pinterest find. And the whole family loves it. It’s creamy and delicious and filling, and a little spicy.
2. Crockpot Shredded Beef Tacos
This is another one we’ve made several times at this point. We just eat the shredded beef with a side of our choice – we don’t actually make the tacos.
I love finding new Crockpot recipes that are different from the standard roast type recipes. And we’d never really successfully made ribs before. I’m not a huge fan of ribs normally, but these were so good that I was honestly picking every scrap of meat off the bones.
I liked these better than anyone else in the family did, so we haven’t made them a second time. What I loved was trying egg roll wrappers for the first time – there are so many things we could do with them, and I’d honestly never even thoughts of them. The pizza rolls were so crispy and delicious in the egg roll wrappers.
5. Candied Lime Sweet Potatoes
I’d almost forgotten about these. We made them with our Christmas meal, and I’m thinking we need to make them again! The texture and taste were perfect.
We’ve made these a couple times for quick weekend breakfasts. They really don’t take much more than eight minutes, especially using the seamless crescent roll dough. I’m a fan of the canned cinnamon rolls from the grocery store, and I was surprised that I liked these just as much, especially since we could customize how much cinnamon and sugar we wanted to add. I also liked that they’re smaller, so it’s slightly easier to restrict how much I eat.
This is a Pioneer Woman recipes for perfect pancakes. And they were delicious! I’m terrible at getting the temperature set just right for pancakes, but I got it about halfway through. Even the burnt ones were tasty though.
Another easy and delicious Pioneer Woman recipes. We’ve made these for breakfast a couple times, using the option of canned biscuits since I don’t generally have extra bread dough laying around the house.
9. No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies
I could eat way too many of these no bake cookies. And they’re made with Special K, so they’re practically healthy, right? I added in some chocolate chips to make it a little bit more like a crunchy Reese Cup. We can’t make these too often. But we can certainly eat the entire batch in about an hour if we do.
10. Parmigiano Panko Herb Encrusted Chicken Breasts
We made these last night, except we made them with pork chops. This was our first experience with Panko bread crumbs, and it was crispy and delicious! And a little messy, but that’s okay. Here’s a picture of ours:
These are just 10 of many recipes I’ve tried from Pinterest – if you’d like to see others, check out my Recipes We’ve Made board. Let me know if you decide to try any of these recipes – I highly recommend them all.

Glad to see some of the recipes on Pinterest turned out. I just made the Oven Baked Onion Rings and they were a success too. I have the mini cinnamon rolls pinned too so I’ll have to try them.
The slow cooker ribs will have to be shortly afterwards. LOVE ribs.
Ooohhh…we’ll have to try those onion rings. We love onion rings. Strangely, onions are my baby’s favorite food!
Don’t you love PW? I haven’t tried enough of her recipes! Thanks for the recipe list … might have to try those monkey muffins!!
I highly recommend those muffins – seriously easy and delicious!
Aunt Bobbie made the Cajun Pasta for us all last week and it was fantastic!
Glad you guys enjoyed it!
Yum yum yum.
Although I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one without dough lying around. I thought I was inept since everyone else seems so “cooky” lately
Haha…I always think it’s hilarious to read recipes that call for the dough you have available. Or the cooked chicken. Or pretty much anything else you might have prepared ahead of time.
I need to check out that sweet potato recipe. Sounds delicious!
It was good – and vegan-friendly when we had our relatives visiting, which made it even better.
This is great, thank you for sharing. I will give the crock pot ribs a go!
You should – I think we’re going to make them again soon because they’ve been on my mind since I wrote this post.
I bet your family is happy you like Pinterest so much!
I think they are – except when it slows us down because I have so many things pinned I can’t make a choice
I always like knowing that people have success with recipes. I created a board called Dinner Recipes – Keepers for the ones I’ve tried and we’ve liked. I’m going to have to check your board out.
I need to check your keepers board now!
Yup I’m with Stasha and the crockpot ribs. For some reason I’m not intimidated by anything you cook in a crockpot. But put it in a frying pan, or an oven…and I wince. But crockpot I can do.
I’m hungry now.
I agree – and we like everything to be very done, which the crockpot usually takes care of.
I am trying that beef taco ASAP! Have you tried the chicken one? It’s on my page – but it’s just 4 chicken breasts, a pack of taco seasoning, and a jar of salsa. Crockpot for 5 hours, shred the chicken. It’s so good! I’m serving it (again!) for guests tonight!
Oh, that sounds good. I’ve done the chicken with just salsa, but I’m thinking the addition of taco seasoning would make it even tastier. Thanks!
Those look so yummy! I can’t wait to see how they turn out!
Thanks!
