For the past few months, when I'm home at night watching TV with my roommate, she's fixated on her Kindle Fire. Finally, I asked, "What the hell is so interesting?" She replied, "Pinterest...I'm addicted."

I've had a Pinterest account for a while, but rarely did I actually pay any attention to it, so I decided to give it another try. And I've actually attempted some Pinterest projects.

I'm not much of a cook, but I'd like to get better. I figure, Pinterest has a lot of recipes...and here's how my projects have turned out:

EGG MUFFINS:

The Pinterest photo on the left looks pretty well put together...my photo on the right, not so much. I added mushrooms and broccolli to my egg muffins and made them much smaller since all I have at my apartment is a mini eg muffin pan. I will say they taste good...but lets face it, they don't look too appetizing.

POLKA DOT CAKE

COME ON!!! The photo on the left looks like something served for dessert at Martha Stewarts house and mine looks like a turd with spots in it.

For the record, I made the cake for my sister's birthday and she wanted chocolate. And thank goodness she doesn't have very high expectations of my baking skills. But seriously?! I put in a couple of hours to make sure my cake turned out okay and it looked like that?

Don't worry, I'll keep you updated on my Pinterest fails in the future. Until then, follow me on Pinterest HERE.
