A Perfect Dinner

This is one of my favorite dinners:
2+ years ago I went to my parents hours for dinner. That dinner was and still is one of my favorite meals I have ever eaten. It was light, but so filling and most of all satisfying. I have made this salmon recipe twice since that first dinner but I make the rice salad a few times a year. Enjoy it and have a wonderful weekend!

Friendly Friday: week Febuary 18th to 25th

Hello friends! I am so excited that this week CKK got lots of new friends coming  in from FTLOB's awesome article about yours truly.  My favorite part of the article was meeting Ashley though our tons of emails. She is a hoot! I love her blog, her chocolate pecan pie and her adorable family. 


I am so excited about today.  I can't believe how many awesome comments came in this week.  All I can say is you all put me to work last night to get this post ready. I loved it all. 
You all rock, thanks for visiting this week! 



PS Yesterday CKK turned 6 months old. Wow time flys when you are having a blast!





Also please vote for Chrissy to be Aprils blog of the month at FTLOB cause she is awesome and absolutely deserves the love!

The Best Biscuits: Weight Watcher Aproved


     I had some extra time yesturday morning before my friend T and I went to shop and have lunch in Brookston. So I whipped together these awesome Sweet Potato Biscuits. I love sweet potatoes and I always have them in my pantry. 
     I did suprise T with the sweet potato biscuits. She loved them, which is for a girl who doesn't like sweet potatoes. We had so much fun yesterday. Lunch at Klein Brot Haus and a quick stop at at Two Cookin' Sisters for awesome jam. We also toured my new apartment complex. I can't wait for May 30th!
     I loved how soft and delicate the dough was but it was so easy to work with. It will be so much easier if you let the dough sit and rest for 5 minutes after you roll it out. I did cover the tops with butter but I added a sprinkle of kosher salt to jazz up the flaver. It really was much better with more salt and of course butter (like bacon) makes everything better!
     These biscuits are WW friendly. If you make 15 to 18 biscuits they are 2 points plus apiece. If you make 26 biscuits they are 2 for 1 point plus.

Weight Watchers... Week #4

Week 4. I skiped Weight Watchers last week so I could cook a family Valentines dinner. But I have not been that good this week. I have a really bad habbit of finding something super easy to make for dinner and I will eat it all week.I soon will be turning a lovely shade of orange, for almost every night this week I have eatten a baked sweet potato. Oy, but I am so close to losing a total of 5lbs so I went to weigh in today.
