10 Pinterest Users We're Loving This Week

At this point, pretty much everyone is aware of what Pinterest is; and if you're a "pinner," you're definitely aware of its highly addictive qualities. And we can't blame you, Pinterest is a great social sight that makes it really easy to discover amazing new things you would've otherwise never come across.

But just like anything that's worthwhile, you have to extend a bit of effort -- work for it a little. In the Pinterest sphere, that translates into finding good pins, which can be found by identifying good pinners. And if you're new to this visual world, shuffling through the millions of pinners can be a daunting task. But lucky for you, week by week, we are rounding up our favorite food and recipe pinners, so you can kick back, relax and enjoy.

Click through the slideshow below to check out our favorite recipe and food pinners. And we apologize in advance for contributing to your Pinterest abuse problem.

All this just a few days after you posted an article questioning the legality of most of the content on Pinterest. I'm not trolling, I just think it's ironic. I personally like Pinterest, and I think it's sad that people need to fear being sued for pinning, and re-pinning photos from across the web. On a side note, I love food and enjoyed this list of food crazy pinners!

I make my own peanut brittle every holliday season. I've been told I should sell it but I wouldn't know where to start. Any suggestions?

[hellyon3too]

It may be more trouble than it's worth. The first place you have to start is your local health board to find out what they require for you to make and sell candy. You probably can't sell candy made in your own kitchen...you need an inspected, licensed kitchen for that.

If you really want to go to all that trouble, the best place to start selling would be local craft fairs, farmer's markets, sidewalk sales, that sort of thing.

I recently discovered pinterest. Now if I understand this right, most of the people find something they like on another site and pin it to the board (which I do not know how to do even if I decided to) and it does not have to be something original. It can even be a site which sells something. The more things a person pins then ???? I gues they just do this for fun. Or do they scan something and put it on? I do like looking at it. I notice when you scroll back up, it takes you to another section. Guess I will copy down some of the pinterests listed. doubt if I will get through all 72. I also noticed when my computer said some of the pins could be malicious sites.

I was kind of disappointed not to see my nephew David Olson was not included on your list. Take a look at http://pinterest.com/bachelorsgrill/ , http://abachelorandhisgrill.blogspot.com/ or on Facebook at A Bachelor & His Grill. This year he became a Char-Broil Grillmaster and he's in talks with MTV for a possible show.

Actually many are articulate, creative working women. I am an avid pinner and a working women working on my Graduate studies. I do it for fun. I am also a personal chef and use many of the photos for inspiration. I don't need the original website often, but just the inspiration. Why so negative Plasmaorb. Go heckle somewhere else.
