Pinterest not so tried and true

So Pinterest is a great quick resource to do my weekly meal planning. I've had great successes so far but you can't win em' all. Photo and recipe courtesy of:

We just were not a fan of cube steak.
The flavors were ok but we couldn't get over the idea that it looked and tasted like cat food. (not that ever eaten cat food but it's what I imagined it to taste like blah).Once I get something in my head watch out too. I mixed ours with some egg noodles and sour cream to create a stroganoff. Lets just say the leftovers ended up in the garbage. Perhaps a diff cut of meat would have worked better for us.

Another successful Pinterest recipe-yippee. I've never been crazy about meatloaf but this Italian version is yummy. Who doesn't love the taste of Italian food??
http://mommyimhungry.blogspot.com/2012/02/parmesan-meatloaf-gluten-free.html?m=1

I did a few of my own variations too.
I did not use gluten free breadcrumbs
I added 2 cups of fresh chopped spinach to my mixture.
I added 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese to my mixture.
I only used 1lb hamburger. But after discussing with Evan we decided next time it'd be yummy to mix in some Italian sausage with the hamburger.
Evan raved about how yummy it was, and Mr Cade ate up pretty well too.
I will def be making this again as there was only one slice left!

I love posting about these fab Pinterest recipes lately. I hope it's helpful for someone out there too.
Recently I made this: http://www.saving-makes-cents.com/2012/07/what-is-for-dinner/

So yummy, super easy too. It tasted like restaurant style roast chx. Caders ate it up and I even enjoyed it the next day for lunch. I'm not normally a chx leftovers gal.
