Pinterest recipes

I have actually been trying a lot of recipes lately from Pinterest.
I've been kind of bored with the same old things for dinner and I wanted to make some of the yummy dishes I've been pinning so.........
I made this delicious copycat Olive Garden alfredo sauce for my chicken linguine tonight. The hubby said it was delicious and he would be more than happy to eat leftovers tomorrow - yay no cooking for me. Unless I decide to make the copycat Pizza Factory breadsticks I found here
I made these once before but I didn't have parmesan to sprinkle on top so I've been wanting to make them again.

Here are some of the other Pinterest recipes I have tried in the last two weeks:
This corn chowder is delicious! I have made it several times. I always add diced ham to it for the hubby though because he has to have meat or it isn't a meal. I also stir in some cheddar cheese before serving. I have also added green onions and diced red pepper to give it a little kick.
This twice baked potato casserole was very good also. I only wish I had added more green onions. Oh, and apparently I can't cook bacon crispy enough because my hubby asked me what the chewy stuff was.
I also tried this taco pasta. Mine did not look this good because my hubby does not like tomatoes. I did not put the garlic in mine either because I am not the biggest fan of it. I did add Rotel tomatoes (original) to my portion and it made it better. My hubby said he liked this though so I might make it again.
I saved the best for last - at least the sweetest one. I made these churro waffles for dinner one night and they were so good. They smelled delicious while they were cooking in the waffle maker - it must have been the vanilla and cinnamon in the batter. It was definitely more like eating dessert than dinner.
All these recipes were hubby approved.

*Only the first two pics are mine. I promise I'll get better at picture taking now that I have my new camera but I have been so busy working six days a week and cleaning my entire house from top to bottom that it is still sitting in the box.
My hubs thinks I'm crazy because I waited a year to buy that camera and I haven't used it yet.
That will be my next project.
