From Pinterest to Real Life – XXII

If all of the pins I’ve been bringing to life lately are any indication you’d think I only found recipes on Pinterest…but that’s not the case!!!  I have lots of other pins I can’t wait to bring to life so stay tuned for some of those great ideas!

Quick, easy, and yummy…my three favorite features of a recipe and these Pizza Dough Pretzels with Pizza Dip fit the bill!  The dip has just for ingredients and you can mix it up hours ahead of time and just pop it in the oven.  Instead of using coarse salt on the pretzels I decided to mix it up and go with Italian seasoning instead and I have to admit that I’m glad I went that route!

Not to be outdone by the overwhelming content calorie in the last recipe (I didn’t actually count but with that much cheese I didn’t want to know how many calories were in each delicious bite!)…this Chicken Pot Pie Soup comes from the fabulous skinnytaste site which features tasty, yet calorie-friendly recipes.  This recipe is perfect for a gloomy winter day (I can’t say cold living in CA because the rest of the country doesn’t think our weather is cold 😉 )  I was in a soup making mood so I made a double batch and threw the leftovers in the freezer so I can’t wait for another gloomy day when I can have the soup again!
