60 Ways to Make Your Marriage Rock-from facebook

So what is up with the recent recipes, short stories and inspirational "likes" taking over facebook?!

Is this driving anyone else as batty as it is me?? 

Seriously, that's what pinterest was created for, move your stuff to there! Problem is I see recipes I like but I do not want to be one of these people who "share" it to my page and continue the vicious cycle of clogging up the news feed with all my recipes, etc. 

Lucky for me (and you) I have a blog and I think I might start documenting some of my finds here so that I can go back and find them easily, esp since you cannot pin from facebook! So be on the lookout for random yummy looking posts! 

Here is my first that I really liked and wanted to keep for myself!
