Pin of the Week: Hoppy Easter

Hoppy Easter week!

Chocolate, bunnies, Easter eggs, and more chocolate.

It’s time for pastel dresses and warm weather. I’m getting more and more excited for Easter. Unfortunately, I am not going home. I will, however, be going to a friend’s house. We’ve spent every Easter together for the past couple of years.

Since I am a guest in her home, I want to make sure I bring a housewarming, festive gift.

So, I headed to my Pinterest account.

Here are a couple of ideas:

1. Bird’s Nest:

Servings: 12

Ingredients

1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, for greasing the muffin pan

6 ounces (1/2 bag) of semi-sweet chocolate chips

6 ounces (1/2 bag) of butterscotch chips

1 cup creamy peanut butter

6 ounces (1/2 of a large bag) of chow mein noodles

36 mini Cadbury eggs

2. Carrot Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Carrot Strawberries:

• Strawberries
• (rinsed and dried)
• Bag of Orange Candy Melts (available at Michael’s, Hobby Lobby Jo-Anns)
• Parchment Paper
• Plastic Baggie and Scissors

Carrot Pudding Cups

• Clear Cups
• Crushed Oreos
• 1 Large Box Chocolate Pudding
• 3 cups milk
• Carrot Chocolate Covered Strawberries

I hope they like them!

Til next time,

Pin of the Week: Hungry Hungry Hippo

Pinterest is a breeding ground for delicious recipes. People are taking their secret family recipes from note cards to the web. And for that, we thank you.

As a college student, sometimes I crave a home-cooked meal. Luckily I live in a place with a kitchen. Every so often when I’m feeling inspired, I will try to cook.

After graduation, I will definitely spend a lot more time in the kitchen. I’ve created a day in the life meal plan! The recipes are both easy and delicious. I hope you enjoy.

Breakfast: Avocado Toast and Scrambled Eggs

Lunch: Turkey Sandwich Lunch Box

Dinner: Cashew Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Dessert: 4 Ingredient Strawberry Banana Ice Cream

YUM.

Get cooking people.

Pin of the Week: Let’s find a job

I like to make things complicated.

So, after much consideration, I have decided to look elsewhere for a job. I am very close to my family, and don’t think I would be able to handle the distance for much longer.

With some networking I was able to land an interview for a Sales Associate position with Wedding Wire– a technology based company which makes planning a wedding easy and fun.

Sounds like a dream come true to me. It’s located in D.C. and only 2.5 hours away from my house.

Pinterest is a great resource to find interview tips, resume builders, and professional attire.

I found this article for 5 interview tips for the Entry-level lady (hey, that’s me) http://www.levo.com/articles/career-advice/interview-tips-entry-level

I also found this really helpful resume cheat sheet:

Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor.

Pin of the Week: Spring Break Edition

Sun, Surf, and Sand— for everyone but me.

Spring Break is finally here. After weeks of deadlines, tests, and work: we are free. A lot of people are headed to Cancun, or somewhere tropical. Not this girl.

Unfortunately, since I already have a job (and would like to save my vacation time), I am staying in High Point. That doesn’t mean I can’t have fun though.

I’m going to have a lot of free time, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I haven’t had a break since the beginning of the semester. So, I have some activities planned.

I’m actually going to have the time to go to the gym, I’d like to go bowling, and I have a lot of television to catch up on.

I thought Pinterest could help me come up with a few more ideas. I did a search for “Spring Break at Home.”

What I found was pretty inspiring:

1. Learn how to cook a new meal

2. Have a spa day at home {DEFINITELY}

3. Treat yo’self day (a.k.a shopping)

4. Read a book

5. Tackle a new craft

My not-so-busy spring break just got a whole lot more fun.

I hope you all get a good tan.

I’m jealous.

BE SAFE
