Paula Deen's Savory Salmon

This is an awesome recipe...i have made it a few times and it is delicious...i love paula deen and all her southern goodness..if you are familiar with her you know that her two favorite ingredients are butter and cream cheese, so this is actually a really healthy recipe and great for the summer...its quick and easy as well...i would pair it with brown rice and some grilled asparagus or artichokes; the broth from fish would make an excellent alternative to any buttery mayo dip for artichokes..salmon is so great for you as well..packed with the good omega fats..

Jon and Kate Plus 8

So it is obvious that at least 9 million viewers are talking and thinking about jon and kate and their 8 little blessings. I started watching them in February 2008 and became instantly hooked...i just loved watching the kids and seeing jon and kate bicker (could totally relate) and share some lovey moments as well. even though TLC chooses not to show much of their faith..obviously they are believers. i loved seeing a christian couple on main stream television...my take on jodi and kevin is that it is obvious that they love their neices and nephews, however i wonder how they would feel about the kids being expoited if they actually were able to sign a contract and get paid to be on the show? i think kate gosselin had every right to put her foot down with that...if the reports are true, that is. as her brother and sister and law...they should have told the production company you know what this is jon and kate's life...we didnt go through what they went through having sextuplets and should no way benefit from it other than being a part of thier lives, which is what they would be doing anyways...where would it end the bagger at the grocery store and clerk at toys r us would all want their cut...how can they possibly knock kate for making money off of her own life? when they are out selling their part of the story...they would only have credibility if they did not accept one penny for speaking...which i highly doubt...we can judge kate all we want..but the truth of the matter is most people would do whatever it took to provide even their one child...and having 8 makes it a totally different scenario...i read kate's book and whether she wrote it or not...she still lived it and had to endure everything in it...her choice is right now to continue in the show...if you do not like it simply change the channel...i know that if she decides to end now...if she remains faithful in the Lord she and her kids will be provided for...and until then i will remain watching...we all have faults and are not perfect none of us are above jon and kate...we are all sinners and need a savior...jesus christ...it is proof that people like to watch people when they are down with the ratings doubling after all the drama went down...i am glad to say that i was hooked when there was a mere couple million watching the show...kate or jon if you magically come across this...you know the power of the lord and he redeems and restores..he can heal your marriage regardless of anything...it is never too late to save a marriage...and ultimately your family.
