The Scoop - I was excited when I found this recipe because it looked so much tastier (and healthier) than most crock-pot dishes. Also, I thought it would be a great meal for the night I do my FIT track workout. I made it and I was dying to come home and eat it.
The Verdict - Dare I say it was a little bit....bland?! Seems weird right?! With such savory and colorful spices like turmeric I didn't think bland was possible. But it was hearty and tasty after a long workout.
The Fix - If you make this, add more of the spice blend and more salt and some pepper.
Mentionables - I did not use thighs, because I only had boneless skinless breasts; this switch worked fine and the chicken was nice and juicy. I didn't use the canned corn cobs, instead I got a frozen veggie blend from Trader Joe's that already had the corncobs and some other good stuff

The Scoop - Wow was this good! I can't wait to make this pesto for a bunch of other stuff. The flavor of it really made the pizza. I've also never roasted eggplant and I like this method a lot for a quick cook.
The Verdict - YUM! I will totally make this again.
Mentionables - I didn't use naan, instead I made this on a fresh (not pre-cooked) pizza crust and made one big pizza instead of individuals. I also didn't use fresh mozzarella (although that would have been amazing), instead I used what I had which was basic shredded mozzarella. Last, we had some prosciutto, so I topped it with a bit of that. We thought the salty-ness of the prosciutto added to the overall flavor.
Disclaimer - I didn't find this on Pinterest. I found it on the blog and pinned it to Pinterest myself.

The Scoop - I bought dill at the farmer's market and I had a bunch of tasty Meyer lemons in my fridge, so I was looking for something to make. I searched "lemon, dill" on Pinterest and this popped up. The Verdict - This was a healthy recipe and it was tasty. The Cyclist is not a fan of dill, but he liked this a lot. Mine did not look like the picture, but still tasted good.
The Fix - You may not need this fix but.....my sauce wasn't thickening as I thought it should, so I added a few sprinkles of Wondra.

Mentionables - Pinterest wasn't the first place I looked. I searched the same thing on the Whole Food's recipe app and all I was coming up with were seafood dishes. I knew I wanted to use chicken and I thought it was weird I couldn't find any "chicken, lemon, dill" recipes.....but there on Pinterest it popped right up.
