Hockey Pucks

Today was a rough day... well, it started yesterday, really.

My stupid back is acting up again. Thankfully this time I had the medicine I needed, so I stayed in bed ALL DAY. Alex and Isabel and Nic all took care of me; they made sure I had everything I needed!

But I already had plans for dinner - and I didn't want to disappoint. With the help of my peeps, we got dinner on the table at our new normal time. Our meal was made up of nothing but deliciousness. 

There is something on that above plate that made me grin from ear to ear.

The biscuits.

I've been trying to make homemade biscuits for a LONG time.

After a quick recipe look up (one that was SUPER easy)... look what I did....



They were GOOOOD!! And so soft on the inside. Every other time I've tried to make homemade biscuits, we've ended up with hockey pucks. Not so good.

I cannot wait to make these again - next time for breakfast: biscuits and gravy! Yum!

So proud to myself. - Just wanted to share!

Best Dinner Ever

or so I think...

I had a good day yesterday; got work done, the house picked up, went for a bike ride, played catch with Isabel, danced like a fool in the street, and made divine creation for suppa.

=)

Being the good girl that I am, I only had a bite of the pasta - instead I focused on the turkey/spinach meatballs, broccoli and mushrooms. The kids and husband loved the pasta, though. Which was just pasta, butter and parmesan cheese. I loved the meatballs. They are so easy to make - and good for me!

Don't think I mentioned that I joined Weight Watchers Online... so far so good! Down 10 pounds since Christmas (even though I technically started on Jan 1).

Tonight, the family is in for a treat: Pork & Pineapple kabobs with Hawaiian Rice (brown rice with pieces of pineapple). Yumm-o. Wait, is that trademarked by Rachel Ray, that "yumm-o." Guess I better be careful.
