My first official post for Pinterest Chef. Here's a link to my Food Board. I plan on sharing recipes of my own and ones from Pinterest here as well as what's going on in my life, though it will always have something to do with cooking. I will post recipes that I've tried and will give my input on taste and if I'd make it again.

I'll start off I'll list the things I did NOT enjoy and won't be making again.

Dried Strawberries found HERE .

What was good: The concept behind this was very simple and straight forward. The end result was supposed to be pictured above.
What was bad: They did not turn out to be gummy, or solid. Instead it was a gooey mess. They didn't taste very good. I had even left them in the oven longer than the intended time in hopes it would tighten the fruit up. Once I found it wasn't going to have that firmness I had let them sit out for a time, let them cool completely, still they were mushy and not appealing.

I had this on my food board and ended up deleting it because it wasn't good and didn't turn out.

Next on my "Do not make list"

Oatmeal Lemon Bars found HERE

What was good: Just six ingredients to make something that looks so good? Sign me up.
What was bad: It was overly sweet. Like, "Oh my god it's not a salt lick, it's a sugar lick." but with a funky aftertaste. On top of that the oatmeal cookie portion was like a rock, almost impossible to eat. I wouldn't use the oatmeal stuff again.

Verdict: If you love sweet stuff mixed with lemons but with a funky aftertaste... this is your treat.

Again I had this on my food board and I deleted it once I tried it.

Let's end on a good note...

Oven Baked Chicken Fajitas found HERE

What was good: Very simple. Very easy to prepare. Toss it altogether in a pan and let it go in the oven. Flavor was awesome, limitless possibilities to this. It could even doubled and tripled for larger parties. Add some shredded cheese, cilantro, guacamole, fresh tomatoes, and some warm tortillas and you're golden.
What was bad: I honestly can't think of anything bad to say about this dish.

Verdict: Ah-maz-ing! I will totally use this recipe again.
