Weekend Cooking: Pin It and Do It


Trish from Love, Laughter and a Touch of Insanity is having another Round of Pin It and Do It! And of course I am all for that! If you don't know what Pin It and Do It is, head over there to take a look what this is all about :)

I have been picking quite a lot of recipes from Pinterest recently to make. It is my favorite site to go to if I want to try something new. Here is a summary of recipes that I tried from Pinterest this month :)

Batch of zucchini latkes

One potato and one zucchini latke with sour cream

From Avocado Pesto I tried these zucchini and potato latkes! It are basically fritters. This recipe is so good though that this will probably be my new base recipe to go to when I want to make something like this :) I love it. Find the recipe here!

Carrot risotto
From Amuse Your Bouche I have Carrot and coriander risotto with mozzarella. It is one of my favorite ways to prepare carrots from now on! Click on the link for the recipe.


I also made Avocado Hummus from Giada de Laurentiis. I didn't make the pita chips that went with it but just ate it on a sandwich. It is good, but a bit on the sour side. Less lemon next time ;) Vegan and delicious!

I tried some more recipes, but I will save that for a next post. I can't garuantee that will be a Weekend Cooking post as well. It depends if I find the energy to write some book reviews. So keep and eye on the blog if you want the scoop ;)

This post is part of Weekend Cooking, hosted by Beth Fish Reads. Head over there to see what everyone has been cooking up!

  7. So I came the other day and then tried to pin those latkes and my computer went out on me. They do look so good and I love sneaking in zucchini to my recipes. Going to try these!
