More than likely I won't be able to Blog nearly as much as one would like with all these exciting changes. So I was thinking how can I keep people up to date with what I'm making these days? Like the answer to a lot of questions...Pintrest was the answer! Obviously I will still be cooking meals at home, family still needs to eat, and I promise I will take pictures and post as much as I can but my quick alternative was to give you my review on some of the recipes you may have pinned on pintrest.
I've said it before "Pintrest is the new google", when I want a recipe I go to Pintrest and search that way...some of them LOOK really good, but might not taste good. So I've created a Board called "recipe reviews", on this Board you will find recipes I have tried and written below are my comments. Yes written by me and not someone from 134 pins ago, scouts honor.
So here's the link! When I update it, Ill be sure to post the updates. If you have tried a recipe from Pintrest, or Pinned a recipe and its a MUST TRY! Be sure to let me know, I'm always on the hunt for great recipes. :) Happy Pinning and Happy Cooking!
Recipe Review Board ...sounds all fancy, but its really just Pintrest ;)
Food...Drinks...Parties and everything in between

Free Gardening Tools!
MARCH 26th!!! I cant believe its been a month since I have posted! Slacker! Well I do have a bit of an excuse, you see there was a tiny mishap with a giant glass of wine annnnddd...weeellll my laptop. Wine+Laptop=drunk laptop! I would press A it would type T, lush. Anyway so my Dad has my laptop replacing the keyboard so I can get back to blogging, pinning and all those very important things in life.
Because Im not browsing facebook and pintrest 3 hours a day, turns out I have a lot of spare time! Who would have thought. So I've been working on the yard. Cleaning up existing flower beds, revamping flower beds, making new ones, digging gardens, starting vegetables. Turns out I really really enjoy gardening...both varieties.
The other day I did have a chance (using Hubby's work computer...shh!) to glance at pintrest. I ventured for the first time into the "Garden" section of Pintrest I was looking for gardening tips and ideas. Found some great ones, recycled gardening "tools". So without even going to the store I was able to start my cucumber seeds so come the May, after the full moon, they'll be ready to go in my newly dug garden.
Don't wrap the news paper too tightly you want to be able to slide it off withouth ripping it. Showing a little local hockey pride there, Go Moose!
Then simply fill your cups with dirt and plant your seeds. Keep them in the house in the sunlight until after the Full Moon in May I'm told. Then its planting season. I am using these to start our cucumber seeds in the house. You can't use these for root vegetables such as carrots and beets because they won't be able to grow down, those are best planted straight in the garden. But plants such as beans, cucumbers, tomato can be started now in the house.
Don't forget to water them after you plant the seeds. How you wonder? Using your recylced watering can of course!
Using a plastic milk jug, one with a screw on top, punch holes in the cap and fill with water. VOILA! Free watering can, good to keep in the house smaller than lugging the big one in from outside. Pots and a watering can for FREE! And of course all these ideas came from none other than Pintrest!

| What you'll need |
Take a sheet of newspaper, cut it in 2 down the center crease lenthwise, so you have 1 page of newspaper. Then you fold the page in thirds. Position your can of soup like in the picture, the roll it. Put a piece of tape to hold it together, then fold in the bottom and tape.

Homemade Pasta Alfredo Sauce
Now that we're finally getting settled and into a routine here at the Cyr house, I am back to trying new recipes and cooking up some different meals. This one recipe is one my Mother In Law pinned on Pintrest and while she is here visiting for a night I decided I'd give it a try. Being Lactose Intolerant I can only taste test the sauce to be sure it isn't poison, but man oh man, this is a recipe you muuust try!
Oh! And this isnt a low fat or 100 calories meal, so prepare at your own risk...maybe just before gym day or just after a really good workout.

Pintrest & Subway Art
Ok I realize that "Subway Art" has been around for awhile, you see it everywhere. At first I didn't really get it, but I must say...I have grown to love it! So today while cruising around pintrest I came across this really cute St Patty's Day one, and it was posted on a "Printables" board, so I went to check it out. JACKPOT!
On this site, eighteen25 they have Subway Art for every Holiday and then some other cute ones too. So I've decided to share, its such a cute and low cost way to decorate for a party or just your home. Cute frame a Costco Print and you're on your way. Here is your first step, FREE Printable Subway Art.

While your there, be sure to check out the rest of their site, its really great. They also have many many pintrest boards all of which are filled with great Pins.
This was my great find for the day, so I thought I`d share. If you have Pintrest and want to see what I`ve been looking at you can!

Valentine Votive Holders
So I went on a Pintrest Binge last night and this morning...last thing I did before bed last night, PINNED....first thing I did this morning (after feeding Binks and making coffee of course)...PINNED! Yikes....this is getting out of control. BUT! I did find a tip on how to make my crappy dishwasher work better, on Pintrest, and then actually DID IT. Ill keep you posted on how it works.
When I finally pulled myself away from Pintrest, Charlee wanted to decorate for Valentine's Day. So I went and pulled out all the little things we had to put up around, then realized "this isn't enough!". Back to Pintrest! oh god.
Here is what I found! Mason Jar Votive Holders, they look super cute as a centerpiece when they are bundled together. Different sizes would be adorable, but I only had 1 size jar on hand so this is what I ended up with.
All you need:
Glue or tape the doilie to the jar. Tape the heart in the center of the doilie.
Wrap your twine or ribbon around a few times and tie with a bow.
Drop a votive down in the jar and light it up for a romantic centerpiece. You can add some sand or coarse salt in the bottom of the jar to raise the candle up a little bit and make it easier to light.
I used tape so I could use the mason jars again after Valentines Day. Maybe revamp these only with a country theme to match my kitchen, hmmm.
