They provided me with coupons for Pillsbury crescent rolls, a baking pan, apron, recipe cards and many other goodies. My friends and family were anxious to grab up the extra coupons that were sent along as well as a recipe card highlighting the following recipes. The following are the recipes we tried out and they were great (these are my own opinions). Here's a picture of some of our goodies:

My friend just had one of those parties! But I had to miss it. :( Looks like some yummy fun.
ReplyDeleteAbout tips for the new WW plan...I did not stay for my meeting either, but if you go to weigh in, go ahead and buy a points calculator. It is half price right now, $5.95 I think. I did not get one that night because I did not realize that it was the only way (other than using eTools) that you can calculate points. I will definitely be buying one at my meeting next week!
neato!
ReplyDeleteThese all look (and sound) amazing. Especially the crescent-wrapped brie, though I will eat just about anything with brie. It's so yummy. :)
ReplyDeleteThese all look SO yummy! I bet they tasted it too. Bring on the recipes!
