Debut - Mouthwatering Mondays


Ok- so it’s time I get a little more habitual about my posts. I have been very haphazard about when I blog. Not that I’m known for my organization or strict adherence to a schedule of any kind. But I should be, and I will be more faithful. Ok – enough sappy motivational speaking for one post!! – In an effort to bring consistency, I have created a weekly post. (Que dramatic drums beating)
~ MOUTHWATERING MONDAYS ~
 The Internet is more than just my blog (shocking I know.) And that world is fabulously summed up on the BESTEST little Internet home – Pinterest.com 
If you haven’t discovered pinterest – do so NOW. Stop reading this and go there…now. I’ll wait for you to come back. ~tick tock tick tock…ok well if you’re like me then you’ll get lost in all the amazing blogs for hours on end. I have a link to my page on pinterest to the right-  feel free to follow me. I’d love the company!
Every Monday I will feature a few of my favorite pinterest items of the past week. 
And we will start with these Nutella Meringues. Mmmmmmm, aptly named mouthwatering Monday – I am so inspired by this recipe. Let me know what you think.

OK, the first step to any contest is deciding a plan of attack.  I am speaking, of course, of the menu for the pies. Oh, and how MANY pies will be entered?? Let's look at the list of options shall we?
  • Crisco Innovation
  • Crisco Chocolate
  • Crisco Cherry
  • nut
  • Gluten free
  • Peanut Butter
  • Pumpkin
  • Raisin
  • No Added Sugar
  • Fruit/berry
  • custard
  • cream
  • cream cheese
  • citrus
  • Sweet potato
Whoa - what a mouthful!! I don't know about you, but I have notice as I type each one out - they lead to overlap. I will need to be careful where I place my entries.  Did you notice the Gluten-free?? It's new and I'm so0o0o excited for this pie. A good many of my family members have gone gluten free & love the effects of the lifestyle but struggle with finding tasty alternatives to old standby gluten filled foods.  I see this category my highest challenge not just for the contest - but to feed to my dearest family.      

You will notice the 'Crisco' label on the first three - those are the only entrants that must contain 1/2 cup Crisco somewhere in the recipe.  I can't for the life of me see where shortening would go BESIDES the crust but, eh what do I know right?
