Thank you Pinterest

As my technology knowledge grows, so does the distraction time I can spend doing pretty much nothing.  Pinterest is one of those things! For those of you who do not know what it is, it's a place where people can share ideas, recipes, and "How To's."  Well I have been looking for easy, yet yummy, recipes for when Jacob arrives.  You know something besides my crock pot specialties ;0) Anyways, Mike and I discovered two amazing recipes, so far! Since not everyone has Pinterest, I thought I would share them on here.... The first one we tried was a calzone (but as Debbi informed me it's actually called a Stromboli (yup just like Pinocchio)).

(First I wanna say I took this photo from Pinterest cause I forgot to take a photo when we actually made it twice)

It was super easy to make and actually really cheap, about seven dollars total! We put bell peppers, onions, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni in ours.  It was so good!!! Also the braiding may look complicated, but it isn't at all.  Let's face it, if I can do it anyone can! Here is the link for the full directions http://www.squidoo.com/homemade-calzone

The Second recipe was for Frozen Hot Chocolate!! Yup, you read that right! Ever since Mike and I visited Gabby and Jason in New York we have wanted to replicate our tasting of frozen hot chocolate. And low and behold Pinterest came through!! The above picture is us enjoying our first tasting of frozen hot chocolate in New York.

Anyways, we made this last night... a couple of things you should know before hand is that you will need a double boiler and you will most likely have to make a trip to the grocery store because it calls for some random ingredients. Here is the link to that recipe...

This is what our final product looked like.  Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!
