Food:
Chicken with Orzo

Verdict: It was delicious. Like seriously I devoured it!
Bacon Crusted Chicken drumsticks

Verdict: These were a hit with the kiddos but seemed way too sweet for us adults.
Chicken with asparagus and parmesan cheese

Verdict: This was a very dry dish. I added cream to make a cheese sauce and it helped. Defeated the purpose of it being healthy however.
Loaded potato chicken casserole

Verdict: Meh. It was just ok. it looks much tastier then it actually is. If you substitute the chicken for sausage it would be a great breakfast dish.
Sour Cream and Chive sauce

Verdict: I made this as a sauce to accompany homemade potato, sausage, and cheese pierogis. It. Was. Amazing. No joke, make this stuff. You won't be disappointed.
Ham and Cheese pinwheels

Verdict: These were just alright. They were a touch on the dry side (I MIGHT have overcooked them). I think it would be better if there was some sort of mustard sauce to dip them in.
5 layer Greek Dip
http://www.pinterest.com/pin/108016091035029837/
Verdict: I brought this to a party and it was a huge hit. It was expensive to make though because hummus isn't the cheapest ingredient to buy. This would be more cost efficient if you make your hummus from scratch.
Chocolate Pecan Tea Bread
http://www.pinterest.com/pin/108016091036713292/
Verdict: This recipe says Tea bread is dryer than coffee cake but I didn't expect it to be as dry as it is. Also, the chocolate flavor doesn't come out very well in this bread. If you make this quick bread, add some more moisture, throw in some chocolate chips and ditch the nutmeg (which overpowered the chocolate flavor). Or you can do what I did and smother it in caramel sauce :)
Lemon Crinkle Cookies
http://www.pinterest.com/pin/108016091035893197/
Verdict: these are the easiest cookies I've ever made. Period. They are so good! Ive tried this with strawberry and chocolate and by far the best flavor is the lemon.
Creamy tomato tortellini soup
http://www.pinterest.com/pin/259308891018368137/
Verdict: This is pretty good. It make a lot and we froze over half of it. I used cheese tortellini and I think it would be better with a meat tortellini as this soup is already cheese heavy.

Im sure there are more projects that I've done but have forgotten to take pictures of. I still have a bunch of holiday baking yet to do and a White elephant christmas party to organize which Pinterest will come in very handy for.
