We often talk of Pinterest at work. What I love about Pinterest besides the million recipes and braid ideas is the fact that sometimes we just don't think outside the box...and it reminds us to. Let's take fruit for example - we have eaten it always and if we need to put it all together we go for the mixed bowl of fruit salad. Occasionally, you might see a watermelon turned into a basket or something but typically it's the same old thing. Then Pinterest comes along and says, "Hey, make it into a rainbow!". Uh...duh. I'm a rainbow freak so why did I NOT think of that?!?
We were brainstorming ideas for our Monday morning meeting/Leigh Ann's birthday treat and of course cupcakes, cakes and ice cream popped up. But this is a meeting at 9am and Leigh Ann is a healthy girl so I was sorry it took so long to think of it but when I did I was elated. I could make her the thing we had talked about loving on Pinterest.
Strawberries, cantaloupe, pineapple, kiwi, blueberries and grapes made a lovely bow. Big fluffy clouds of Cool Whip featuring blueberries in the shapes of the appropriate numbers made it complete. It was gorgeous, healthy, fun and just right for a morning treat. Thanks, Pinterest and happy, happy, happy birthday to my friend, Leigh Ann!
