Jen Nails It Southern Pinterest Challenge
A few weeks back I introduced a new Jen Nails It Pinterest Challenge, wherein I was going Southern.I, the little Hispanic girl, was going to try and make fried chicken and the whole enchilada. Um, make that grits casserole?
Here was the recipe and picture I snagged from Pinterest.
I also decided to make this cheesy grits caserole.
As the coup d'etat I pulled in this recipe for collared greens.
Word Is Getting Out About My Blogging
So last week one evening around 7:30 p.m. my doorbell rang. I was a little slow getting down there, but when my husband answered the door no one was there, just a single stapled together craft idea sitting on my doorstop from another blog.
No note, nothing. Hmm, this is very curious. Well alrighty then, is it a challenge or a desire to help inspire a new blogger? I suspect the person had internet access in order to print it, but didn't perhaps want to be identified. This could have been A LOT worse. Oh well, I 'm up for trying anything!
Anyway, how hard can this be and peeps are like 10 cents now that Easter is over and I have most of the other stuff hanging out in my cupboards.
Here we go:
Jen Nails It Challenge Southern Style
One thing I have NEVER EVER tried to make is Southern comfort food. My husband and children feel this is a situation that apparently needs to be remedied.
So, for my 3rd installment of the Jen Nails It Pinterest Challenge I will attempt to make a bona fide Southern dinner with fried chicken as the star!
I understand from my research that most fried chicken recipes have been handed down from generation to generation, can be decades even a hundred years old and are almost a living breathing entity in some families. Yup, I should totally be able to NAIL this bad boy for sure.
Nailed It Challenge: Avengers Cupcakes
Time for the Great Avengers Pinterest inspired cupcake reveal.
A few things:
1. After meticulously reviewing the picture from every angle in order to make sure I knew all of the colors and every nuance of the picture I decided I needed supplies!
2. With a visit to my local 99 cent store, I was equipped with my very own version of a cake decorating bag and different sized tips. Yippee! I have never owned such a thing. PISHAW to those who say we need to pay the big bucks in order to make great looking cupcakes. I will prove that wrong!
KICK-OFF: Jen "Nails It" Pinterest Challenge Part 1
As promised, here is the first of a two part debut for my Jen Nails It Pinterest Challenge. Where I promised to tackle the recreation of some "epic" Pinterest inspired projects.
After much discussion my family decided to have me recreate one of the many adorable baby photos you see on Pinterest.
Ready?
Ensue the Drum-roll please......

The Jen "Nails It" Pinterest Challenge
I love the luscious desserts and savory fare that make me drool over their sweet perfection. I covet the fashion and perfectly coiffed hair that seems so easy to copy and incorporate into my busy life. I salute all of the holidays that I never even knew existed. I too will celebrate National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day with all of the gooey goodness displayed in the magical squares of preparation perfection!
Pinterest is like a big happy smorgasbord of the best of everything and I can sample and even put things away for future conquest with a single click.
It's no secret that I am completely time starved. Everything I cook, craft or try to accomplish in a day has to be done with maximum efficiency in mind. When I am on Pinterest, logic and reason forget to inform me that some of this stuff would be impossible for me. Something needs 40 ingredients, two weeks of preparation and ingredients only found in a Moroccan market, I can do that! That Spaghetti sauce with the meat and cheese stuffed pasta that has been passed down for generations until it is embedded in your family's genetic code? I got that, and should be able to knock it out in about 45 minutes.
