Saw it. Pinned it. Tried it. Loved it.

I have a problem, I am addicted to Pinterest.  I can spend hours on there finding new things to try. I have so many recipes and crafts pinned, I'm not sure if I will have time in my lifetime to try them all.  Unless I quit my job and dedicate my days to baking, cooking and making things I have pinned. Will someone convince those pesky companies that like their bills paid at the end of the month that I really don't need to pay their bills?  I will be doing the world a service. Someone will have to convince my husband too.  Well, if you are on Pinterest, you can follow me here.  Leave a link in the comments and I will follow you too.

This is the first in a new series, where I will try out recipes I find on Pinterest, and I will let you know if it is easy, tasty and worth trying.  My first entry features a recipe from Brown Eyed Baker.  She really was brilliant when she came up with the idea for a Bacon, Egg & Hash Brown Sandwich.  Check out her page for the full recipe and pictures.  I'm still having camera issues, so my pictures do not do the recipe justice.





I used frozen hash browns and turkey bacon and I cooked the items in a different order. I made the bacon first, then the hash browns and saved the egg for last.




Then you put everything together and turn into an awesome grilled cheese sandwich.

I loved this recipe and highly recommend that you try it out.  It is a little time consuming, so it may be best to try on a weekend when you have more time.  It's really easy to make, if you're planning on making a big breakfast, you'd most likely be making the individual components anyway.  It is very delicious!  I give this recipe 3 pins out out of 3 pins!

Hash Brown Casserole

I am sitting here dreading going to work tomorrow and watching a new reality show on the Food Network, Rachael vs. Guy Celebrity Cook Off.  I'm hoping it is a good show. Joey Fatone is on it and I loved *Nsync, maybe Justin will make a guest appearance. Don't tell anyone but he is one of my secret boyfriends.  Coolio is on the show too, I think he may be a little crazy. This show has the potential to be very entertaining.

Tomorrow everything gets back to normal, back to work and back to school. This is a great recipe for breakfast on busy mornings. It can be assembled the night before and baked in the oven in the morning.  It also reheats well.  My mom actually made this dish for Thanksgiving and I begged for the recipe so I could make it Christmas morning. It turned out pretty tasty. The original recipe was a copy cat recipe for Cracker Barrel's Hash Browns.  I made a few adjustments to the recipe.
