Crock Pot Nonsense

I just had to share this awesome chicken and dumplings recipe because it has made me a believer in crock pots. Until now, I have hated every food/meal that has ever come from a crock pot. Probably because I don't like stews or roasts or cocktail weenies and that is all that seems to come my way from a crock pot.

Thanks bubble crumb for an awesome dinner :)

*Modifications to recipe: I used 6 biscuits because I love dumplings. And then I cooked the remaining biscuits and ate them with the dish. I also added a huge amount of pepper and I used boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts because they have more flavor (are are also so much cheaper).

Enjoy!

Addictions

So I know there are about a million worse things I could be addicted to, but I can't help thinking my sweet tooth is getting out of hand. I have a serious problem... I keep making these delicious desserts and then I eat way more than my share. For Easter I made fruit pizza and I have eaten half of the leftovers on my own. Then I made some cake pops. What's better than a cupcake? I'll tell you - cake on a stick. Smushed cake mixed with frosting and coated with a candy shell. MMMMMMmmmmm, nom nom nom. I made them for my girls' last practice and somehow the cake fairy left another dozen at home with me.

How will I ever reach my goal weight with treats like this around my house??

Yummy Food!

My appetite since having Jackson is just as strong as when I was pregnant. I crave savory and sweet foods ALL the time. I swear that I'm more hungry now than I was while I was feeding two humans. This is not helping my weight loss goals, but it is delicious. Two of my favorite things I've made this month are:

No wonder I can't shed these last few pounds :)
