I have a pressure cooker, many slow cookers, a rice cooker, and I make my own homemade yogurt in a stock pot.  All of these appliances take up quite a bit of room, but I love using them so I make it work.  Well that is until now...the LUX Electric Multi-Cooker allows me to do all of the above (and more) in one pot!  This little machine is amazing; you can also simmer, saute', and even brown meat in it.  Now I don't need all the other appliances that take up so much room, all I need is this LUX Electric Multi-Cooker!  You can purchase this online or enter the giveaway below!

Cinnamon Apple Muffins + Giveaway

 Cinnamon Apple Muffin Recipe by Crunchies Natural Food Company

The holidays are among us which means there will be a lot of friends and family coming to visit.  I love having treats that are made ahead of time this way I'm not confined to the kitchen.  I love to sit down, have a cup of coffee and enjoy spending time together.  These Cinnamon Apple Muffins are perfect to make ahead of time, freeze and then thaw when you're ready to serve.  I used Crunchies freeze-dried snacks for a twist and it worked out perfectly.

A gift for you: Capresso Cafe'Pro Giveaway!

Capresso is sponsoring this giveaway, however the opinions expressed are my own.

I am an avid coffee drinker; espresso, latte, cappuccino, iced...I love them all! I started drinking coffee when I went to college and still drink it today, actually a lot more.  When I'm out and about I like to buy a latte or cappuccino and sometimes that can get quite expensive.  Until now; I am able to make all the delicious coffee drinks at home with the Capresso Cafe'Pro: a professional Espresso and Cappuccino Machine. 

• Includes two espresso filters; one for convenience, one for control. Choose the one that's right for you
  
• The double spout espresso filter creates an optimal brew, quickly and easily; brews 1 or 2 espressos at a time
  
• The bottomless espresso filter lets you brew barista style and perfect your technique
  
• Advanced pump boiler maintains a reservoir of hot water at the perfect temperature for faster and more consistent results
  
• State-of-the-art boiler increases brewing pressure and temperature stability
  
• 15 bar pump provides optimal pressure for rich crema, the thin layer of foam that is the mark of a perfectly brewed espresso
  
• Commercial style power frother for perfectly foamed or steamed milk for delicious cappuccinos and lattes
  
• 42-oz, removable water container
  
• Large, integrated cup warming tray
  
• Indicator lights for "Off/On" and "Coffee/Steam"
  
• Easy to clean removable stainless steel drip tray
  
• Coffee scoop/tamper included

This little machine is amazing and it's literally like having a coffee shop at your house.  We've made espresso, cappuccino, but my favorite are the lattes!  In a matter of minutes I get to have a delicious, creamy latte and save a lot of money by not buying them when I'm out.  The kids love the cappuccino and my husband loves the espresso.  I've even made these drinks with ground coffee and they turn out just as good!

Delicious Sweet Treats without the Guilt + a giveaway!

#friendlyscoffee

To say I'm a coffee lover is an under statement!  I get up at 5am every morning and as soon as my teeth are brushed I grab a cup of coffee.  I drink it throughout the day, and actually up until I go to bed at 11:30pm.   I just love the warm comforting feeling, and it tastes so good too!  Even if it's 100 degrees outside you'll find me drinking a cup of coffee.  My husband thinks I'm crazy, but my gram doesn't because she does the same thing, so at least I know where I get it from!  I recently tried Friendly's Ice Cream Flavored k-cups and I'm one happy camper because you get the subtle ice cream flavors without all the guilt!

Culina Measuring Cups

As you all know, I love to cook and I have to admit for the past 25 years I've used plastic measuring cups.  I have my big glass one that measures 4 cups at a time, however my the individual cups are plastic.  I'm sure you have them and you all know that the measurements wear off and leave you with a blank cup.  Plus a few of mine are stained and even melted!  Well that all changed once I received these new stainless steel cups from Culina.

3 Years Ago....and a giveaway!

Three years ago my littlest one started kindergarten and I was a stay-at-home mom who now (after 14 years) had some time on her hands.  I said about getting a job, but my husband said if we were already making it on one income, we were doing fine, the kids know that I am there "all" the time for them so why disrupt something that is going so well.  I thought so too, but it still made for some lonely days.  So I decided to start a blog, not knowing where it would take me and in three years I couldn't be happier!
