Klondike Rose Potatoes & Johnny's Salts Giveaway

It's time for another fun-filled giveaway.

Everyone likes free stuff right?

But this giveaway is extra special....

It's FOOD!

 Klondike brands and Johnny's Fine Foods contacted me with a challenge.

You know how I love a good challenge.

To perform this giveaway I first had to create something using 

Klondike Rose potatoes and Johnny's salts.

This is what I came up with.....

 When I first looked at the bag of potatoes and seen that awesome color of red

and the word Rose, the first thing that came to mind was red wine.

You should always go with your first instinct, right?

Right!

 I chopped up 4 of those gorgeous red potatoes and covered them with red wine.

I know this going to be hard for you, and you will probably shed a tear or two,

but believe me, it's well worth it.

I let the potatoes soak in the wine for 2 hours.

I drained the potatoes, and yes, the wine went down the drain....

DON'T CRY!

There is enough left in the bottle for one glass.

 I arranged the chopped potatoes on a foil lined baking sheet

smeared with olive oil. Kind of toss the veggies in the olive oil to coat.

Along with the potatoes I sliced one red pepper and one medium onion, 

sliced and chopped.

Sprinkle with Johnny's Seasoned Sea Salt.

Place the baking sheet with veggies in a preheated 400 degree oven for

20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender.

 This is what they looked like when they were done.

We ended up with an awesome breakfast dinner.

Top the potatoes and peppers with a couple soft cooked eggs,

and you have heaven on a plate....NO JOKE!

The wine taste was fantastic mixed with peppers and onions.

So, since I completed my challenge I can now move on to the giveaway.

Two lucky winners will win this prize package shown below,

USA residents only please.

Weight Watchers Monday ~ Cucumber Salad

 Cucumber salad is usually one of my favorite go-to salads.

It's easy to make, and can be prepared quickly for those last minute

dinner invites. You know the ones I'm talking about.....

What makes this cucumber salad special is, it's a Weight Watchers salad.

Yup, 0 WW points.

You can eat 12-14 cucumber slices per serving.

When I peel my cucumbers I like to leave a little of the skin on.

I cut off the ends and peel the cucumber so it looks like it has stripes.

The dark green color give the cucumber salad a much more pretty 

presentation. More inviting to eat.

I found this recipe at Nana's Recipe Box, through Pinterest, of course.

I made a couple changes, but nothing drastic.

Weight Watchers Cucumber Salad

(0 WW points, 12-14 slices per serving)

In a large measuring cup mix:

1/4 c. white vinegar

1 TBS lemon juice

2 tsp. liquid sweetener (Agave In The Raw)

1 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. pepper

1/2 tsp. celery seed

Stir together and pour over sliced cucumber and onion.

In a med/large mixing bowl slice cucumber and onion:

1/2 of a medium sweet onion, sliced (I cut the slices in half and separated the rings)

3-4 medium cucumbers sliced (I used organic).
