This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf Success® Rice.

Success Rice

Rice is one of my favorite kitchen staples!  I love serving it as a side, and I especially love to use it in casseroles!  But with some rice products you have to be careful, or your rice won’t be good and done.  But Success® Boil-in-Bag Rice makes it easy to cook up perfect rice!

The product comes in White and and Whole Grain Brown Rice varieties, and you can find it in 14 oz and 32 oz package.  And because Success® Rice is precooked,  your cook time is just 10 minutes from bag to bowl!  From there, you can add any number of ingredients to create your favorite recipe!

I love Manwich Night! It’s definitely one of my favorite Easy Weeknight Meals.  I grew up eating the Original Manwich, but I recently became familiar with the other varieties:  Thick & Chunky and Bold. If you’ve seen these in your local store, and have been curious, I’d definitely tell you they are worth a try.

Manwich Night

If you love the red and green peppers in Original Manwich, then you will definitely love the Thick & Chunky version.  And if want something with no peppers (perhaps something for a picky child), then you’ll want to try the Bold. I actually thought the Bold would be more spicy, but it’s really got more of what I’d call a “tangy” taste to it.  But whatever it is, it is super yummy! Manwich Night  How do you like Manwich?  When I was growing up, no Manwich was complete without a nice slice of cheese!  And recently I’ve tried adding mayo and pickles, along with the cheese.  It makes for a sandwich that can’t be beat!  And it’s great with any variety of Manwich Sauce.

My husband has also introduced me to Manwich Pie (Manwich over corn chips), and after doing a little research, I’ve found a ton of great Manwich Recipes.   One recipe I definitely plan on trying is the Saucy Meatloaf featuring Manwich.  And I also found Sloppy Joe Meatballs! Yum!Manwich Night

You can even use the sauce to make Sloppy Joe Tacos:

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef

1 can Manwich sauce

8 taco shells

1 bag shredded lettuce

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

sour cream

Directions: Brown ground beef and add in Manwich sauce as directed.  Spead meat & sauce evenly over hard or soft tortilla shells.  Top with cheese, lettuce, and sour cream. Enjoy!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes

I am so excited to share today’s recipe!  I originally saw these on Tidy Mom, and I’ve wanted to make them ever since!  Noah celebrated his birthday last month, and it seemed like the perfect excuse I needed to finally make them!  And I was VERY pleased with how they turned out.

I haven’t made a lot of homemade frostings, only a dozen or so, but I have to say this is my favorite homemade frosting I’ve tried, hands down!  It’s so rich and creamy….and yes! It does taste JUST like cookie dough! [Read more…]

Fresh Step LightWeight Review & Giveaway

Fresh Step Giveaway

One of the latest products on the market for “cat parents” is lightweight litter.   It is an idea that is long overdue.  As a cat mommy, I like to get the best deal possible on litter, and that usually comes from buying the bigger packages, but it can be murder on your back, so I usually have to choose savings or convenience.  But now the lightweight litter option gives me another choice!  Fresh Step now has a LightWeight litter formula, and we recently tried that in our home.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with my resident kitty cat product testers, here they are: [Read more…]

MMs

Parties and holidays give us a great excuse to get creative with decorations and food.  But you don’t always need a special occasion to create fun and festive recipes! If you have simple ingredients on hand like M&M’s™ candies, you can turn a simple movie night into a fun-filled occasion with movie themed snacks.  Last week I used M&M’s to turn some plain ole’ sugar cookies in to some M&M’s Sugar Cookies inspired by Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier (out now on DVD and Blu-Ray).

MMs at Walmart

At our local Walmart there is an entire shelf, filled from top to bottom with M&M’s products!  Which ones doe you like?  The original and the minis are my favorites, but you could use any variety in today’s recipe.

Walmart also has a $5 off coupon for any two M&M’s products (15.4 oz or larger) and Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier DVD.  (Movie, snacks, and a deal…it’s a win-win all the way around!) [Read more…]
