New ways

I hate that my school has decided to block pinterst from our browser I love that sites and that's where I spend most of my time online.  I go on there to find all my recipes and make most of my food from there but I also use it for other things besides just that. I wanna be able to look at recipes to put in my cookbook from online but, right now that's not really possible till the school relies that people have other hobbies beside sports and learning.   I wanna be able to be inspired by recipes and new ideas from all around the world and other bloggers and that's what pinterest does for me. so scenes i have been resorted to  finding new ways to inspire my self  for my cookbook.  One way I found was going on Google+, now I don't really like this one because  its not well organized very well as fair having categories and people to follow over allow its not my favorite.  One website that I found that has started to be a favorite of mine and all most in the running for my new favorite its call FoodGawker, its also an app.

One recipe that I found that sounds good to me is http://spicysouthernkitchen.com/cajun-pastalaya/
