Oh My! Don’t you love all the food inspiration on Pinterest? One can discover the perfect granola bites recipes, to rainbow cakes, the ultimate smoothies, to soul-binding cuisine.
Food + Pinterest = Brilliant.
Pinterest is essentially a vision board. What deliciousness you see online, can be pinned on a board with the advantage that you have the ultimate recipe in your sight with the click of a mouse.
While I would like to make all the recipes on my Cooking & Food board, here are 10 Recipes that Must Be Made:
- stRAWberry Fruit Tart – Due to Strawberries coming to harvest, this Essence of Spring Strawberry Tart is perfect to make right about now. No cooking required.
- Olive, Garlic and Lemon Chicken – Hey, my Paleo friends, this chicken dish is for you. This French inspired dish uses the simplest ingredients but packs the ultimate flavor.
- California Sandwich – Part of Ezra’s Meatless Monday Post. This sandwich is layered with a chive spread made with greek yogurt and topped with lots of summer-ripe goodness.
- Zucchini Fritters with Tzatziki – Alexandra’s words just make my mouth water. Zucchini… Potato… served with something cool like sour cream or tzatziki. And the photos of the Zucchini Fritters are beautiful.
- Cheesy Mushroom Pull Apart Bread – OMG! Addictive is right. Provolone, Mushrooms, Sourdough… Need I say more? This Pull Apart Bread is highest on my list to make. I heard its best to make two.
- Honey Nut Bars – These bars lend a sweet and salty combination. These aren’t the healthiest, but they sure look delicious!
- Spicy Vegan Chili Burgers – I’ve had burgers smothered with a Chipotle spread and its so delicious. I can only imagine combining the spread with a “Robust” Veggie Burger would be the Bomb!
- Mini Cauliflower Pizza Bites – Pizza bites made healthy with ingredients like cauliflower and low-fat cottage cheese. I will be overjoyed if my daughter likes them (a sneaky way to get her to eat the veggies).
- Tomato, Basil, Mozzarella Salad – Those yellow bell tomatoes are my absolute favorite! This salad calls for simple, fresh ingredients. But results in an awesome combination.
- Raw Hemp Protein Bars – David & Luise come up with the most beautiful food combinations that I am certain draws the palate to a praise with each and every bite. These Protein Bars, as they put it are, “perfect after a good run and for celebrating health.

I get that they must be made, but must you eat them? Why not send them to me to test for you? I just love how we healthy living bloggers all have different interests. I rarely care about the food and recipes on Pinterest, but I do love the quotes, books, humor, fitness stuff! I do care that you are making such yumster looking food for me! http://funandfit.org/2012/04/push-ups-knees-to-toes/

The pull-apart bread…oh wow. Sounds to die for. Reminds me of monkey bread, a pull-apart sweet cinnamon bread that I used to have as a little girl. Have you ever heard of it? IDK why they called it monkey bread. Maybe because you look like a monkey picking at each part and pulling it off? Ha!

I never understood why they call it monkey bread either.

Its amazing the stuff people create and cook up. Like the pull apart bread – ingenious. Would have never come to mind.

I once saw a cake inside of a jar… it was called JAR CAKE. Excellent name right? I know it is super bad for you and I would never try making it, just thought it was a cool idea. Great post and thanks for the share of photos…. now I’m hungry.

I have a huge foodie board of recipes to try. Too many to list, lol. I have tried a few and sadly either I’m a terrible recipe follower or the recipes weren’t as good as the pictures led me to believe. But I’m still optimistic for the rest of my pins!
