Category: Pin for the Wednesdays

Today’s Pin for the Wednesdays couldn’t be simpler – it’s fruit on a stick. That’s all!

I found the original pin a little over a year ago, back when Pinterest was brand-spanking new. Given the red, white and blue theme, I made them for Memorial Day.

I intended to make those again this time around, but lack of available fruit led me to the multi-colored approach above! Had I been really creative, I would have done this:

Actually, the random way worked well – everyone could find a combination of the fruit they wanted. And they were pretty! They were a big hit with adults and kids alike. The only issue was that they are super sharp and the kids wanted to grab them and then run around. Not quite sure how to fix that one yet!

But really, food is more fun on a stick. This was a win!

I know I should’ve posted this winning pin a week or two ago, but I kinda forgot about it!  I remembered when I was flipping through the pics on my phone and saw that I had taken a picture just to feature this.  This is a great DIY teacher gift or party favor.  I got the idea from Cortney when she featured this on her blog, linking up here at Pin for the Wednesdays!  Here’s a link  and photo to my original pin (which goes back to Cortney’s post).

 

As usual, mine’s a little different from the original. Here’s how these gifts turned out.  I made one for Sophie’s school speech language pathologist and school occupational therapist.

I bought these tumblers at the Christmas Tree Shops for a really great price, then I filled them with drink packets – lemonade, flavored tea, fruit punch, etc.  Finally, I put a picture of my cute little Sophie inside each tumbler as well.  Since she’s going to a different school for kindergarten, her therapists from preschool will have something to remember her by.  So I ended up with a cute, functional gift for Sophie’s therapists. This idea would also make a great party favor, I think!

That’s my winning pin! I can’t wait to see yours!  Link up below and show us what you got!

Today’s #PinFTW was a huge win! In fact, I wish I had some right now.

I made caramelized onions and jalepenos – here’s my original pin. Caramelpotatoes.com has all the instructions!

I started by cutting up an onion and a jalepeno. Imagine that!

I sauteed them in a little butter and then added the secret ingredient – brown sugar!

Yum, yum, yum – they were so good! I could have eaten them just like that, but as the pin instructed me to do, I used the onions and peppers as a topping on a burger that was grilled and topped with pepperjack cheese. It was amazing. I highly recommend trying this!
