I love the versatility of salads. They can be a side dish or a main meal. They can contain leafy greens or fruits. It's amazing the options you have when you step out of the typical salad mold and try something new. A few weeks ago I was in the supermarket in my new neighborhood. Now, if you've ever moved and had to change supermarkets, you know the challenges that can be faced. Stores don't always carry the same items and it is difficult to find ...

Swapping Sugar for Splenda. Join the Twitter Party! #SweetSwaps
Sticking to typical New Years resolutions canbe tricky... The intent is there but often the will power isn't. I have a sweet tooth whichgetsme into trouble. A little sugar in my coffee, a little more in my cookies, and before you know it I've gone foretell overboard on my sugar intake and thinking if ways I can cut back the next day, but it's always the same story. Thankfully cutting back on sugar without sacrificing taste is what Splenda is ...
Lobsterfest is HERE through April! #sponsored
Lobsterfest at Red Lobster is back! This is a great time to check out the new limited time menu at your local restaurant and treat yourself to something delicious! My dad was always a huge fan of Red Lobster, so we would visit for special occasions and try something new each time. I personally love shrimp, but lobster tails are a close second! Have you ever tried Red Lobster? They have so many options for everyone in the family, even your ...
Never Run Out of Coffee Again With Cross Country Cafe!
It's no secret that I'm a coffee lover. I think everyone has taken notice at this point. When my friends come by, they "surprise" me with a cup of coffee. When I go to my mom's, she asks if she should make a fresh pot of coffee. I guess everyone knows what I love and need to keep going, including the folks over at Cross Country Cafe. They sent me 4 boxes of KCups to try out their services and check out their website. Did I ever tell you the story ...
Clean Eating with Good Food Made Simple #EatClean @GFMSimple
We really don't use convenience foods in my home with the exception of pastas and snacks. When I do use convenience foods, ingredients are key to what I purchase and will allow my family to eat. There are a few no-no ingredients that aren't allowed in my home, including preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, food dyes, artificial flavors, and additives. It can be difficult to stay away from some things, especially when it comes to sweet treats, ...
Give the gift of coffee this season and enter to win a Nescafe Dolce Gusto Genio! @DolceGustoUS #Giveaway #MC
Everyone that knows me online and offline knows that I love my coffee. I'm not a "give me any type of coffee" person either; it's got to be a perfect roast, at the right temperature. The way I take my coffee varies by the minute, and always reflects how I feel. The spunky, energetic, comfortable "me" loves a good iced coffee with a hint of sugar and milk. The cold-weather "me" that needs comfort likes a piping hot coffee with a few splashes of ...
It’s Hot Cocoa Season! Enter to Win a Box of K-Cups! #MC #Sponsored
I can't live without my warm beverages in the winter. Whether it is a warm cup of chai tea or some rich hot cocoa, I always find a moment of "me time" in the perfect cup. Last year I came across Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa from Grove Square and there was no turning back. I love chocolate but it has to be the RIGHT chocolate, and it always has to be dark, so when I found a dark hot cocoa, I knew it was made just for chocolate snobs like me! The dark ...
Saying Thanks With Hickory Farms #HickoryTradition. Enter to Win a Gift Basket! (#Giveaway)
This the season for hostess gifts! As a hostess of our annual family Thanksgiving dinner, I can tell you that I don't expect anyone to bring anything along with them, but I guess a small gift is inevitable. I never show up to someone's house empty handed and I'm sure those who come to my home may feel the same way. I've never been disappointed with a hostess gift simply because I don't expect anything and I am grateful for having everyone ...
