"the perfect combination of cooking and convenience"

 

Every Thursday I make a menu for the following week, the grocery list and then do the grocery shopping on Friday.  When the kids were little, I could do this every other week, but now they're older (and eat more) so I do it every week.  Sometimes I run out of ideas or the meals become repetitive so I'm always looking for new inspiration.

D’Artagnan Review and #DArtagnanFeast Giveaway

With four boys in the house you know we eat a lot of meat, and I like to buy the best that I can.  So when D’Artagnan asked if I'd like to receive a selection of their products in honor of their Holiday Giveaway, I immediately said yes, and had a lot of happy campers too!  

Nutri Ninja 2-in-1 Review and #giveaway

The Nutri Ninja 2-in-1; ninja and food processor giveaway!

I have to admit, I never owned a large food processor.  I have a small one, but not a large one.  I always said I would get around to buying one, but somehow it didn't happen.  Thankfully I was asked to review the Nutri Ninja 2-in-1 which is not only a blender, but a large food processor too.  I got busy making smoothies, shakes, whipping eggs, making doughs, and mixing batters!  If you'd like to own one then enter the giveaway below.

Plum Kuchen by Fruitful~Four Seasons of Fresh Fruit Recipes

 

Fruitful is a trip to the local orchard, overflowing with ripe, seasonal produce—and it’s not just desserts! From sweet to savory, including fresh juices, every chapter is devoted to the produce of the moment: rhubarb, strawberries, apples, plums, apricots, peaches, quinces, pears, and more. This delectable cookbook showcases the bounty from New York’s favorite orchard, illustrated with gorgeous full-color photography throughout—but all of the fruit can be found wherever you live.

Sticky Buns from Gooseberry Patch

 

I am so grateful to be an Early Bird reviewer and it's time once again to feature another amazing cookbook from Gooseberry Patch.  Whenever I get one of their cookbooks I always think that "it's" my favorite, but then I get a new one and that becomes my favorite!  Weeknight Dinners is broken down into days of the week and each day has a theme:  Meatless Monday; Tuesday is Tex-Mex Night; Wednesday is Italian Night; Comfort Food Thursday; and Just for Fun Friday!  How cute is that?  Now you'll never be wondering what's for dinner!  Of course I started off with the Sticky Buns, but I also made quite a few other recipes too.  I always plan our menus for the week and this book has been a lifesaver! 

NuviaCafe Instant Healthy Coffee

Pin It

Did you read the title...how can instant coffee be healthy?   Thanks to the folks at NuviaCafe it is!  I was recently contacted by NuviaCafe asking if I'd like to try some of their coffee.  Being the coffee lover that I am, of course I said yes!  I don't drink instant coffee that much, however I do have it on hand to make iced coffee when I'm in a pinch :)  plus I was very eager to see just how healthy it is.
