That moment when you're trying to diet....

And Pinterest gives you their "weekly pin suggestions" consisting solely of different types of Mac 'n Cheese.  

What the hell, Pinterest?  

Anyways, I'm off to make tacos because a)they are healthier than Mac 'n Cheese and b) I don't have all the ingredients for mac n cheese (this is the real reason).  

What is everyone else up to tonight?  

Gouda Bacon Mac n Cheese.  Someone please make this and tell me how it goes.  

Side note: the chick who pinned this has 466 separate Mac 'n Cheese pins.  I have a lot of love for Mac 'n Cheese, but holy crap!

Kind of related, does anyone know if there is a way to refine what they e-mail you and whatnot?  I absolutely hate their "fitness" e-mails.

I made pancakes for dinner.  Only to find out that I'm out of syrup.  Oh well.  I ate them anyway, because I make goooood pancakes.

I'm staying at my FILs this weekend because my wedding dress came in and I bought it where they live. FMIL made banana pudding and I had almost an entire plate of it. Chunky monkey.

Ugh, I'm currently on a post wedding festivities diet and salivating over the food network. That Mac 'n cheese pic looks soooo good.

That Mac and cheese looks heavenly. It's lazy saturday. FI and I spent the entire day watching The Sopranos. We just got back from eating Chinese food from across the street. We're about to start season 3. Last Saturday continues.

That Mac and Cheese looks so amazing.  I love mac and cheese and I never eat it anymore.  

DH and I went for dinner and a movie (Gone Girl).  I hated the ending of the book, and the movie too obviously, but I thought the movie wasn't bad overall.  I was quite looking forward to it actually cos I thought Ben Affleck was the perfect actor for the lead role.

Today I did a calorie count on my homemade chili and was very happy to discover that it's only 365 calories a bowl! I was expecting it to be way higher.

Weirdly enough, I make gouda Mac n Cheese two nights ago. With a nice creamy nutmeg bechamel and 4 pepper with pancetta. Was delish...:)

Pinterest has quite a stigma here.....so no?  I have friends who don't understand why I like it so much, but their reasoning is that it isn't useful.  It's useful for me because I actually make recipes I find.  If I like them I have a separate successful recipes board I pin them to for future reference.  It's helped to expand my regular dishes.  

We're also in the process of buying a house so I have a ton of inspiration pins for decorating.  Of course some of them are ridiculous....I'm definitely not going to get the fireplace in my room I keep pinning...but a girl can dream.

@doeydo, I'm not sure if you can select to avoid certain emails.  I think if anything you could opt out of all emails.  Sorry, I'm not much help. =/  Their fitness emails drive me batty too.  I love me some pinterest, but there's a lot on there that shouldn't be.  I see soooo many pins where I'm like, please don't do this.  You are going to hurt yourself.

UO - I love Pinterest. Shun me if you must, but I find it really useful for cooking, decorating and shopping. It helps that I'm not a moron so I won't end up on Pinstrosities or the like.

Sorry about the mac withdrawal. I just had a giant plate of nachos so I'm no help. I've been eating like a lardass since the wedding. I need to get back into gear before we try to knock me up because I don't want to start out overweight but... tomorrow.

I LOVE PINTEREST. I can scroll the Food & Drink category for an hour at a time. But I cook/bake, so a place with thousands of macaron recipes is great even if it's all covered in chevron everything. I secretly would love to come back in another life as an upper-middle-class Mormon housewife, though, haha, so I could really commit to a Pinterest lifestyle.

If you don't DIY, or cook/ bake I can understand not liking pinterest. 

I use it to get recipes, and DIY or décor ideas plus it helps me make good looking outfits.

I rarely pin anything on pinterest, but I love looking at it for ideas.  Whether it's hair, clothes, home decor, food, education stuff, pinterest has 1283098093 pins about it.

I get a ton of canning recipes from pinterest. I also live vicariously through pictures of desserts. And bread. Stupid low carb diet.

I don't get Pinterest. I tried using it awhile back and got frustrated when I couldn't find the recipes I was looking for- it just kept sending me other places. So I deleted my account. I just google search stuff...

At least you don't have Thanksgiving, three family birthdays (including your own) and Halloween all in the month before your wedding!

Also, I love Pinterest for getting recipe ideas. I've also gotten so many awesome cleaning and cooking/food prep tips on there.

I just got back from the Ren Faire. 

I had bacon mac and cheese, and then a little later I had a funnel stick. Funnel cake on a stick.

Fuck dieting.

Also, I love pinterest. I use it for crafts/diy projects and as a visual bookmark folder. (Oh, I need ideas for christmas shopping? Pin it.)
