Pinterest Hits & Misses, Part 4

It's that time again! If you are new here, the title is pretty self-explanatory.  I try out popular pins on Pinterest, and let you know if the pins worked and were "Hits" or flopped and were "Misses".  I have written a Pinterest Hits & Misses Part 1, Pinterest Hits & Misses Part 2, and Pintrest Hits & Misses Part 3.  

Pinterest Hits & Misses, Part 3

Drum roll please..........it's time for Pintrest Hits & Misses, Part 3!  If you missed the earlier entries, I have also done a Pintrest Hits & Misses Part 1 and a Pintrest Hits & Misses Part 2.

So which Pins were Hits and which Pins were Misses?

Pinterest Hits & Misses, Part 2

It has been almost month since I did my "Pinterest Hits & Misses" post, and of course I have since experimented with plenty more Pinterest finds.  Which means...dun, dun, dun, DUN:  time for Pinterest Hits & Misses, Part 2!  

Pinterest: Hits & Misses

Pinterest is a one of my favorite websites; and its rising popularity suggests that it is many others favorite website as well. People use it to plan their dream wedding, build a gorgeous nursery, or put together perfect outfits. However, upon closer examination, it becomes apparent that Pinterest is often not actually an "inspiration" site, but instead more of a "daydreaming" site. The women with hundreds of adorable baby outfit pins are usually not even pregnant, nor in any hurry to become so. The ones with boards covered in beautiful wedding dresses and crafty centerpieces were married ten years ago. The women who spend hours putting together an expensive designer outfit probably do most of their clothes shopping at Target. Pinterest, for many, is a place to fantasize about a different life.  We pin, knowing that we are unlikely to ever follow through with most of these pins.  And, yes, that's part of the fun of Pintrest.  

Baked Hard Boiled Eggs

I love reading cooking tricks and tips on Pinterest.  My current favorite trick is how to make easy, no-fuss hard boiled eggs in the oven.  I've been meaning to make a batch of hard boiled eggs for a while now.  The egg whites the perfect snack: low in fat, high in protein.  And what to do with the yolks? Give it to the baby of course! Babies cannot have egg whites until they are a year old, but can have egg yolks at 8 months.  It is high in protein and fat; perfect for a growing baby. Yet I kept putting it off, because, frankly, hard boiled eggs are a pain in the rear to make. The water has to boil a certain way, for a certain amount of time, and there are all these additional things you have to do to make them decent (aka not green). Ugh, I get tired just thinking about it. So when I saw a pin on Pintrest on how to easily bake hard boiled eggs, I was eager to give it a try.
