Organize It

With the world at our fingertips via the internet, there are so many possibilities when it comes to self-help. Whether it's fixing our cars, fixing our homes, or fixing ourselves. Experts and ideas flood the space of our world with solutions for any and all quandaries. One of the best sites that has come our way is Pinterest. I have pinned more than I will ever use. But it is such a brilliant idea - all of our self-helps in one place! No traveling or buying book after book, we simply pin it with a press of a button and our knowledge of home improvement, health & fitness, style and design, or any other myriad of categories are at our beck and call. I have pinned more desserts than I will ever make, let alone eat, but the idea that I have so many recipes at my fingertips is, for some reason, extremely satisfying. It's how I plan my weekly dinner/dessert menus, and I love it. It saves time, energy and money, and for that I'm eternally grateful to the creators of this fantastic venue.

My cupboards were overloaded with recipes stashed from my pinterest adventures, so I decided, as one of my new years resolutions, to organize that cupboard. Thanks to Pinterest, I realized I don't need the dozens of magazines I've kept over the years full of recipes I've barely glimpsed at, so Casey & I went through my stashes, which I'm embarrassed to say, contained many duplicates(I should've taken a picture of that pile). The result is a 3 ringed binder filled with our very favorites. I love it, and can't wait to add more.

A few of our favorite recipes over the years:
