When the Moon Hits the Sky Like a Big Pasta Pie

I've made lots of food that I've seen on Pinterest lately (follow me: thegentleflower). There are SO many good recipes out there! I thought I'd share one of them with you today.

I made this YUMMY Pasta Pie for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I've already made it once more since the first time. It was THAT good. And pretty easy. It was a definite hit at home as well, so I'll be making this a lot. I'd say it's a mix of Lasagna and Spaghetti Bolognese. Click here for the recipe.

It reminds me of this song (but I sing Pasta Pie instead of Pizza Pie of course ;))

If you're in the mood for some Italian, be sure to try out this recipe and listen to Dean Martin's song while cooking. You'll be smiling for hours ;)

Let me know if you try it! :)

Have a great weekend!

What Would You Do?

Source: chloeroseboutique.com via Erin on Pinterest

I found this quote on pinterest today and it really made me think. Fear holds us back in too many ways. We're afraid of taking risks, telling people how we really feel, afraid of spending too much time or money on something, afraid of caring too much or caring too little. We're afraid of what others think, but at the same time afraid that we'll regret not doing something because of what others think.

Why let fear dictate our lives? 

What would you do if you weren't afraid?
My list is growing longer the more I think about it.
Let's make the list shorter, and do the things that scare us the most.
What's the worst that can happen?

Enjoy!

Making Fruit Fun {lots of fancy fruity recipes!}

Source: whiteonricecouple.com via Katrine on Pinterest

I've found sooo many yummy recipes on pinterest! A few that have caught my attention have been the ones featuring fruit. The recipes are really clever, and make me crave fruit whenever I look at them! They look fancy, but I think the recipes are simple enough to do :) They would be perfect for a party!!

They say that children are more likely to eat fruit when the fruit is cut up into pieces. Well, I bet they'd eat these fruity dishes as well (maybe even rather than the plain old cut up pieces of fruit?) !

Enjoy these fruitastic pins! ;)

The above photo doesn't include fruit. However, you can switch the caviar with a blackberry or raspberry!

For the above recipe, you could maybe switch out the Prosecco with some water or sprite (to make it kid friendly) and switch the rose petals with some strawberries or raspberries - the possibilities are endless!

Up-cycled Crafts! - Clothing + Home Decor {Lots of Tutorials}

Source: sugarandcharmblog.com via kristin burgess on Pinterest

I've found LOTS of DIY tutorials on pinterest lately.. and I love them all! I'm sooo addicted to pinterest!!

I thought I would share some pins with you today that are both DIYs AND up-cycled crafts.

The positive thing about up-cycling is that it's much cheaper because you can use what you already have!! And if anyone else out there hates throwing things away as much as me, you'll know why up-cycling is the perfect thing for us to do ;)

I've found lot of super cool clothing refashions, accessories made using the simplest of materials we have lying around the house and some home decor.

Enjoy!!
