Chicken Noodle Soup on Pinterest

My most re-pinned pin is a recipe for Homemade Chicken Soup in the Crock pot.  Here is the recipe.  According to my notifications, 480 people have re-pinned it.  I can't imagine that any of my other pins have been re-pinned that much!

However, I have never actually made that soup, so I thought it would be a good idea to try out.  The good news is that it's really tasty.  The bad news is that I don't really find it to be a crock pot recipe.  To me, a crock pot recipe should take several hours of cooking.  This recipe cooks for only 45 minutes, then you add the noodles and cook it another 15.  I just cooked it on the stove and it looked like this:

I had some onion that I sliced up and cooked with the chicken, and I also used boneless, skinless chicken.  People who know me well know that I don't like to be reminded that I'm eating something that used to be alive.  I'm a hypocritical meat-eater.  I should be a vegetarian, but boneless meat tastes yummy!

I also used baby carrots and cut them in half, because I had them to put in lunches for the week.

We had the soup with some Rosemary and Olive Oil bread from Kroger's bakery.  You have to bake it for 15 minutes, and it was really, really good.

So the verdict on my most re-pinned - make it if you want a delicious soup, but don't make it if you really want a slow cooker (all day) soup.

Pinterest - The Good and the Bad

I really love Pinterest. I'm sure I waste too much time on it but there are so many cool ideas out there!  I have 78 boards and over 7,400 pins.  

Although I have tried many of them, I certainly have not tried them all.  But what I was realizing today is while I'm pretty good at trying out the recipes and crochet patterns and various crafts, I'm not so good at following up on the articles I have pinned about ADHD and Organization and Parenting and Health, and I think you get the picture. 

I noticed that many of the cleaning schedules people post assign a particular chore to a day of the week - clean the bathrooms on Mondays, do the laundry on Tuesdays, etc.  So I'm thinking I'll apply this same logic to reading my pinned articles - I'll assign a topic a day: 

Organization and Cleaning on Sundays

ADHD on Monday

Health on Tuesdays

Blogging Tips on Wednesdays

Money Tips on Thursdays

Parenting and For My Family on Fridays

For My Honey on Saturdays

And back to my handy-dandy cell phone.  Since I have Pinterest on my phone, I can read my articles while the kids wait their 30 minutes for their allergy shot reactions, or while I wait for my car repair, or while I eat lunch (if I ever eat away from my desk) or maybe even while I get my nails done.  (Although I have to say, I have never quite understood how women use their phones while the manicurists are working on their nails.)  Maybe I'll even confiscate my husband's tablet so I can have a bigger screen . . . .

By the way, if you haven't joined the Pinterest yet, I just have this one bit of advice for you:
