Pinterest is my go-to for recipes! I have about fourteen different boards that are food and drink related. They're all different categories so it's easier to find things and the majority of the recipes I actually get around to making are fairly good. For our first wedding anniversary dinner, I wanted to make my husband and I a recreation of our wedding dinner, and Pinterest is where I found the closest recipes to it. It was well worth the time spent making the meal as it was finding the best recipes for the hors d'oeuvres and the main dish.

I’ve had mixed experiences with Pinterest. I’ve found the recipes with pictures from people who have tried them are usually the better ones. I try to go for those first.

I really enjoy getting recipes from Pinterest. Although I agree that a lot of the recipes, when made according to the blog link, aren't to my liking. Instead, I've taken the approach to use it as inspiration for a dish and alter it to suit my taste. I'm horrible for not following a recipe!

I have found tons of great recipes on Pinterest! I love using it for food ideas. The only thing I don't like is that it's a little too easy to get carried away...I've collected so many recipes that there is no way I'll ever get to them all!

When I find a recipe on Pinterest that I like, I will read through the entire recipe before I make it. I often make small changes to it as I go. I have had more successes than failures through Pinterest.

I've made a bunch of different recipes from Pinterest. Most of the time they turn out, every once in awhile one fails pretty hard. Those could have been my fault though as I tend to make substitutions if I don't have what a recipe calls for.

I love Pinterest recipes purely because there are so many of them and the ideas are endless. I can never follow a recipe exactly, tho, and I end up adjusting it by adding a bit of this and a bit of that. Generally, I haven't had many fails but I think it all comes down to experience and how confident you are in the kitchen. Certainly, for a bit of inspiration, you don't get better than Pinterest!

Yes, Pinterest is my go to now for a new recipe. I've tried their dips and a lot of the low carb and keto recipes. Two of my favorites are the cream cheese pancakes and the low carb snickerdoodle cookies.

I don't use recipes from Pinterest. I've not really thought about it. I think what makes a good recipe is if the ingredients and procedures are favorable to the cook

I am ADDICTED to collecting recipes on Pinterest! I have tried quite a few and mostly they turn out really well. There's loads of inspiration on there with different types of meals and even sweets to make. I do have a select few (such as beehive cupcakes) that I have made many times over the years and are favourites in my household. Once I find a good recipe I tend to stick to it and not look at others of the same meal. I have a Pinterest album specifically for those ones so it's easy to find them again. The only thing that annoys me is when you open a recipe on a blog sometimes the page freezes my computer :/

I didn't really use pinterest until I started one to participate in the Giveaway pins. Now I'm obsessed with the crafts and recipes you can get!
