In my home, we don't buy much "junk food". Chips simply don't find their home on my pantry shelves. (Much to my husband's dismay.) I am very passionate about only giving my children snacks that have nutritional benefits, and most ordinary chips just fall short. That's why I was so excited about the very giant surprise from the folks at Green Giant! They have a brand new line of delicious chips that allow you to munch away without the guilt. There are 3 mouthwatering varieties: Roasted Veggie Tortilla Chips in Zesty Cheddar, Multigrain Sweet Potato Chips in Sea Salt, and Multigrain Sweet Potato Chips! These snacks are loaded with whole grain, and have significantly less fat than their traditional counterparts. They are made from real vegetables, and are naturally flavored.

Wow, I can't believe that spring time is already here! Although this past winter was relatively mild by local standards, we certainly weren't used to single digit temperatures and snow being a common occurrence! It will definitely take some getting used to, but it's a very welcomed change. My kids will grow up seeing and experiencing all 4 seasons, and I cannot think of a better town to live in for just that! In the winter, there are great sledding hills and an outdoor ice-rink, but spring and summer is when all of the fun happens in my quaint little town of 50,000 people. You see, I live in one of those gems of a city where family values still run strong, and there are always plenty of things to do, with or without the kids in tow! It's so refreshing to finally be out of the Northern VA area and back home in Ohio, where my kids can make some wonderful memories.

Apple iPad Mini Wi-Fi 32 GB +Cellular Pick up the iPad Mini and suddenly, it’s clear. You’re actually touching your photos, reading a book, playing the piano. Nothing comes between you and what you love. To make that hands-on experience even better, they made the fundamental elements of iPad compact – the display, the camera, the wireless connection. All of which makes the iPad Mini capable of so much more than you ever imagined. Everything you do with iPad, you can do through its smaller, yet beautiful display. And when the display is better, the entire iPad experience is better. The Retina display on the iPad Mini features a 2048-by-1536 resolution, 44-percent greater color saturation, and an astounding 3.1-million pixels – in a smaller 7.8-inch space.

When you can’t see the pixels, you see the whole picture. Or article. Or game. In ways you never could before. Product Features:

This will be the first Easter that both babies are old enough to really play, hunt for eggs, and understand what's going on. The only sad part is that we won't be heading to Maryland to spend the morning with Dan's family. On the upside, Dan's Dad, step-mom, and little brother will be coming here to Ohio to visit us at the end of March. We're looking forward to seeing them and hitting the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Anyway, we decided that since the kiddos are getting super excited about Easter, we would have an Easter egg decorating party right now! Not only was it tons of fun, but it also gave my toddlers the opportunity to practice dyeing and decorating Easter eggs.

Welcome to the Vegan Fusion Cookbook Giveaway!I am so happy to be able to bring you this fabulous Vegan Cookbook Giveaway! A few years ago I had begun my Vegan journey and had visited my sister in Portland, Oregon. She took me to a fabulous restaurant called The Blossoming Lotus. The menu is quite large and we ordered quite a few things to share. I had never tasted such flavorful, fantastic vegan food before. I said to my sister, "I dream of making vegan food taste like this but don't know how". I purchased a cookbook there that was authored by the restaurant owner, Mark Reinfeld. That was the beginning of a fabulous journey into Vegan cooking that wows in taste and preparation! I took a 10 day intensive course from Mark and what a difference it has made in my cooking skills and in my health!Mark Reinfeld graciously sent me three Vegan cookbooks to review, they are pictured in the giveaway graphic, and he is providing another set of the same 3 cookbooks to giveaway to one lucky reader! I can't say enough good things about his cookbooks! Many of the recipes are also gluten-free which is nice for me since diagnosed with gluten intolerance. The 30 Minute Vegan's Taste of Europe review of mine can be found here. Vegetarian Times December 2012 issue featured The 30 Minute Vegan's Taste of Europe as one of the top Five Cookbooks of the year! Click here to see the recipe and assembly for the Apple Strudel Recipe from Taste of Europe that I made recently. The 30 Minute Vegan's Taste of the East is inspiring! If you love Indian, Thai or Asian foods you will find so many quick, tasty recipes in this book along with the Chef's tips and tricks for enhancing your skills. The 30 Minute Vegan is a must for a beginning vegan cook. Mark gives so much additional information that will help you stock your vegan pantry and give you keys to success in the kitchen. This cookbook is a goldmine of fabulous quick meals. Mark Reinfeld also began Vegan Fusion where they promote vegan lifestyle through their cookbooks, trainings, consulting services, retreats and their online courses. Vegan Fusion aspires to empower people to take their health back into their own hands. If you eat Vegan, they have a fabulous newsletter which I highly recommend that you sign up for.....it is FREE!Now on to the Vegan Fusion Cookbooks Giveaway!One lucky winner will receive the following Cookbooks by Mark Reinfeld: The 30 Minute Vegan The 30 Minute Vegan's Taste of the East The 30 Minute Vegan's Taste of Europe This is open to residents of the US and Canada! This giveaway closes April 1, 2013 at 12:01 EST Enter on the Rafflecopter Below:a Rafflecopter giveawayHere in Ohio, it's still pretty cold out, even though it's mid-March. (Yes, we're still getting used to the weather change after moving here from Virginia.) So on chilly evenings, I love to make hearty, stick-to-the-ribs meals that satisfy my family while helping to warm us up. Now the problem I usually face is the fact that my weirdo of a husband doesn't like anything with a tomato based sauce. No, scratch that. He doesn't like cooked tomatoes at all. (But he will eat a raw tomato whole...Go figure!) Recently, I made a chicken gnocchi stew that was out of this world delicious. It reminds me of a dish you would likely find at a higher end, authentic Italian restaurant. It's pretty easy to make, and if you use top quality ingredients, this stew truly tastes gourmet. Everyone in my house loves this stew, picky kids included. It's a meal in itself, but is especially good served with a salad of field greens or a Caprese salad, as well as some crusty bread. Leftovers are amazing, too, since this stew tastes even better the next day! Want the recipe? Keep reading! Anyone who knows me in real life knows that as far as women go, I am pretty low maintenance. I rarely go shopping for myself, I am happiest in yoga pants and a comfy tee, and I cannot tell you the last time I went to a salon and had my hair or nails professionally done. (Actually, I can tell you, but it was well before Sophie was even conceived!) And jewelry? Ha! With 3 kids to care for and one income, mama doesn't get gifted with bling. The only real jewelry I have is my wedding ring set, which my husband always points out is worth more than both of our vehicles combined. (We got a fantastic deal direct from the diamond mine, and had it custom made. It ended up appraising for 4 times what we paid for it!) Now don't get me wrong...I love jewelry. I really do. But I like pieces that are more sentimental than flashy. I am much more likely to gravitate towards one of those family pendants or a charm bracelet with my kids' names on it. I like simplicity, and I like things that are thoughtful. So I will leave the big, gaudy jewels for the Kardashian clan. I don't need them! (Although I would kill to have their genetics. I am still convinced they're not quite human...No one is that perfect all the time!) So when I discovered Metal Pressions, I was super excited. Not only can I get the beautiful, simple styled jewelry I love so much at an affordable price, I get to design it myself. There are options at every price point, and the design possibilities are basically endless. |
