Of course, I found it on Pinterest (what are cookbooks anymore?). It's called Chicken Broccoli Casserole and it's fabulous! Not exactly the healthiest dish in the world, especially since it calls for two whole cans of condensed cream of chicken soup, but it's worth every calorie. I used Ritz crackers instead of bread crumbs, just because I think it adds more flavor. So good!
Anyways, back to the original topic.
I love me some Pinterest. I have 60 boards and 6,012 pins, as of 9:14am on Tuesday, October 8th, 2013. I'm sure that'll change by the end of the day. I have a slight problem with spending more time looking at pins than I do at housework. It's just so addicting! Here's some e-cards that describe it perfectly:
But seriously, these are so true. 60 boards with over 6,000 pins is a little insane. I can't even tell you all of the pins that I have! But I can tell you that they will come in handy and be used one of these days (I feel like those are famous words of hoarders). I'm not even sure I can have a conversation with Chris without bringing up something I saw or read on Pinterest, and I definitely would not be surprised if the mastermind behind all of these pins and boards and insanity of Pinterest is a man who wanted to inspire his wife to make him a fancy grilled cheese sandwich.
If you're not exactly sure what Pinterest is, it is a social website that allows you to 'pin' different pictures that link to websites onto designated 'boards' on your account. For instance, I will see on my news feed a picture of an Oreo that has the caption, 'World's Best Oreo Dessert!', which intrigues me to pin it to my board labeled 'Desserts.' I can then refer back to it when I'm ready to try it out. I simply just click the picture, which takes me to the website that contains the recipe, and I start cooking away. Hopefully that makes sense on how it works!
Pinterest has inspired me to cook, to decorate, to work out, to plan dates, to go shopping, and it inspired my wedding! My life was completely altered when I got the invite to join a world full of ridiculous-ness.
When it comes down to it, Pinterest is the diary of a woman. A way to a man's heart is through his stomach. A way to a woman's heart is through her Pinterest account. But seriously, it really is. Now, I understand not every woman has an account, and if she does, she may not have an overload of pins like I have. But if she happens to, you will know what she wants, what she finds funny, what she finds inspirational, how she wants to decorate the house (or how she wants to build a house!), what she thinks is tasty, absolutely EVERYTHING about a woman is on her boards.
I don't think men know what they have here!
Even if she has minimal boards with minimal pins, she has something that describes her or what she wants. If it's a board about food, you can see what she finds yummy. If it's clothes, you know what she would like to be in her wardrobe. If it's wedding things, you know she wants to get married. Fairly simple and self-explanatory!
If there is anything you want to know about the woman in your life, explore her Pinterest boards and see what has caught her eye. You'll probably be amazed, and hopefully you'll discover the goldmine that you have! You really won't have to think too hard about anything, ever. If it's a date idea you're searching for, I'm sure she has something pinned on there. Want to cook her a meal? She'll have some recipes you can choose from. Need an idea on how to propose? Don't worry, she'll have a couple for you to look over. If you desire to know what inspires her or what her personality is like, I bet she has something for that too.
If you need it, she will probably have it. On her Pinterest.
I really hope Pinterest doesn't disappear any time soon. I feel like my life is on my profile, and I would be so lost if something happened to it. I'm not even sure I can raise my kids without it!
Okay, I know I can raise my kids without the help of Pinterest. But, let's be honest, if you've checked out the baby/children stuff lately, you'll agree with me that it's a lot more awesome than using my brain and intuition alone. For instance, I don't need 21 Things No One Ever Tells You Before Your First Baby right now, but I will definitely need it sometime in the maybe-near future! My mind can't come up with these since I have never had a child, but Pinterest has it taken care of it for me, and I am very grateful for that and hope it doesn't go away before I need it!
All-in-all, Pinterest is awesome. It's my life displayed on a bunch of boards. It's my past, my present, and my future all wrapped up in websites and pictures I find to describe who I am and what I want to be. And how I want to decorate. And what I want to cook. And how I want to look when going out. And what my babies will wear when they eventually make their debut in this world. And everything else my life includes.
My husband really does have a jackpot with this one, and he probably has no clue. Until now! Oh, how fortunate men are that women have discovered Pinterest. They'll be glad we became addicted to it.
One day.
