Five Things I Am Loving on Pinterest This Week:
1. Easy way to clean the microwave:
I spent the last three days of Christmas vacation doing some “winter cleaning”, tackling those chores I’ve put off all year. One of them was cleaning the microwave. I wish I took a “Before” photo so you could see how disgusting it was. I tried cleaning it several times but nothing really worked. Until this.
I combined 1/2 c vinegar with 1/2 c water and put it in the microwave, running it for 5-minutes. When time was up I removed the cup and literally wiped the oven clean. No scrubbing needed. So simple!
2. Refluffing pillows with a tennis ball:
I got new bedding for Christmas and washed the old ones after changing the linens. I thought my pillows needed fluffing and tried this tip.
Ran the pillows in the dryer (on Air) for 20-min with two tennis balls in it. Totally worked.
3. How to clean and freshen the dishwasher:
I didn’t notice how grimy my dishwasher was until I read this pin then went to see what mine looked like. It wasn’t as bad as my microwave but could’ve used a cleaning so I tried this. Now it’s clean and refreshed! 
My aunt made this on Christmas Eve and I loved it! So simple, healthy and flavorful!
I made the above salad when I got home as a main dish. Since it has chipotle seasoning I decided to turn it into a “taco salad.” I cooked some ground beef using the above seasoning to give it flavor. Paired with the Chipotle Salad was soooo delish!
Happy Pinning!
