pinterest gold: recipe edition

so we all love pinterest right?  right.

good now that we've got that settled, let's admit it.  not every DIY, recipe, outfit, or idea on pinterest is awesome.  just because someone on earth decided to combine kale, sour patch kids, and mayonnaise, that doesn't make it a reputable salad, no matter how viral their blog post is on pinterest.  there are entire blogs devoted to the failed attempts at recreating pins.

i haven't personally been subjected to any pinterest fails as epic as this one, but i have definitely been disappointed by spending the time, energy, and money making a totally blah recipe i found on pinterest (i'm looking at you "omg taco bake"... for my improved taco bake recipe see here).  for this reason i've decided to share with you guys my "pinterest gold."  these are pins that i have tried and true experience recreating with excellent results.

so consider this your personally curated pinterest experience.  the following are the best recipes i have personally tried from pinterest:

marie's chicken and biscuit casserole is comfort food at its easiest and most delicious.

rita's crockpot white chicken chili is absolutely delicious and makes the best leftovers.

double crunch honey garlic chicken is one of steve's favorites.  i usually add a bit of sriracha to the sauce to give it a bit more kick.  and just a tip:  don't pan fry anything when you are wearing super-short cut-offs.  i have the scars to prove this idea is bad.

lisa's crockpot butter chicken is my go-to recipe when i'm craving indian food.

cara's two timin' pasta bake is possibly the easiest recipe to ever taste this good.  i make this about every other week.

so there you have it.  the top five recipes i have tried from pinterest!  next time you run across one of these, i'd urge you to give them a try.  they are all delicious and very easy to make!  happy cooking!

and p.s. if you find we share the same taste in recipes you should probably follow my recipe pinboard "chubby's kitchen."
