Don't Stop!

So last weekend Chris and I were able to see the great Fleetwood Mac at Thompson Boling Arena.  I had goosebumps from the first song (Chains) to the last song - which I can't remember right off hand... oops. 

Chris actually first introduced me to Fleetwood Mac when we first started dating - back in 2001.  Growing up I wasn't allowed to listen to anything but Christian music so if it wasn't played on our local Christian station then chances were I had never heard of it. 
Many times we would drive around and listen to their Greatest Hits album and I have been a fan ever since.  

So fast forward to last weekend when we were able to see them live.  They played for almost 3 hours and it was incredible from start to finish.  We were in the nose-bleed section - partly because of the cost of the tickets but just to be able to say we saw them will definitely be a highlight of our concert trips. 

One of my favorite songs (hard to pick just one) is Don't Stop.  It reminds me that even though bad days happen, people let me down and the general stresses of life happen,  tomorrow is just around the corner.  

If you wake up and don't want to smile,
If it takes just a little while,
Open your eyes and look at the day,
You'll see things in a different way.

Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.

Why not think about times to come,
And not about the things that you've done,
If your life was bad to you,
Just think what tomorrow will do.

Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.

All I want is to see you smile,
If it takes just a little while,
I know you don't believe that it's true,
I never meant any harm to you.

Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.
Don't you look back,
Don't you look back.

Yum!

So I don't really ever write too much about recipes but thought that after making this delicious recipe, oh going on the 100th time, I might spread the love.

I love my crock-pot and I love salmon.  So one day I was doing a little googling and came across this gem of a recipe .  It is my go-to, make at least 3x a month recipe AND the best part is how easy it is to fix!

I typically pair this with rice and steamed vegi's and Voila!

The other great thing about this recipe is that it works just as well with frozen salmon.  I buy a big bag of Wild-Caught Pink Salmon and whenever I go to make this I just run the individual packets under warm water for about 5-10 minutes and then once I take them out of the plastic wrap I make sure to pat them dry. Otherwise you will end up with a lot of excess water in you packets.

Hope you all enjoy this as much as I do!
