Don’t you just love ice cream sandwiches? They are one of my favorite frozen treat of all time! Today we have a recipe for homemade Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwiches. It comes to us from our friends at Nielsen-Massey. If you’re a baking enthusiast, you should definitely have some of their products in your pantry. They have a line of vanilla products, including beans, paste, and pure vanilla extract, as well as other popular extracts like almond, orange, lemon, and peppermint.

With all the heat and humidity out there, we’ve been going through juice, sports drinks, and other beverages like they’re going out of style. I recently stocked the fridge with an assortment of Lo Fruit Beverages. LO is a low sugar, and low carb fruit beverage that tastes great.
This is a great product for those who are health conscious or have dietary restrictions. It is naturally sweetened with Stevia, and it contains ActiVin®, an all-natural Red Grape Seed Extract rich in polyphenols – powerful plant-based antioxidants called proanthocyanidins.
One ten ounce serving of LO contains the same amount of calories (35 – 45), carbs (8 – 11 grams), and sugars (7 – 10 grams) as found in one whole fruit. Additionally, LO Fruit Beverage is a certified low GI (glycemic index) product, as clinically test by Glycemic Index Laboratories, kosher, vegan, and gluten free.
LO comes in great flavors like Mango Mojito, Pomegranate Mojito, Acai-Blue, and Pomegranate. I think I like the Acai-Blue the best! These can be purchased in packs of 4 and 12. And you can choose packages with the individual flavors or choose a mix of flavors.
My favorite thing about the product is its versatility. The product may be enjoyed as a cool drink straight out of the bottle, or you may also use it as a mixer for smoothies, and even cocktails!
You can place your order for Lo Fruit Beverages on their website, or look for the product on Amazon.
Have you tried Snuggle Scent Boosters yet? I’m always excited to try new cleaning products, especially laundry detergents and fabric softeners! When you live with a man and a “young man” you have a lot to contend with in the laundry departments (stains, sweat, and other smells), so I always try to use the best products possible to get their clothes smelling clean and fresh.

National Gin Day was June 14, and in honor of the date, the folks over at Straw Envy sent over a cool drink for my readers and I to try. And they also sent me a sample of their lovely, fun, and festive straws! If you’re a food photographer or blogger, or someone who just loves hosting, you know that nothing dresses up a drink like a colorful straw or other garnishes.
Today we have a guest recipe from our friend Carrie of A Mother’s Shadow. Today Carrie is sharing her Upscale Magic Bars with us. I can tell just by looking at them that they are very sweet and right up my alley! And hey, anything with the word magic in the name is bound to be delicious! Please go over and check out all the great recipes on Carrie’s blog!
My Grandma Shirley gave me a recipe years ago for “Hello Dolly” cookie bars.
I decided to tweak it and make it a bit upscale for a delightful treat.
Toasting the nuts and the coconut brings out a wonderful flavor that changes these bars from good to fabulous!

The summer season is known as a time for vacations and fun in the sun, but it is also the season for home improvement and a little DIY fun. Today I’m going to give you a quick run down on some of the things I’m working on this summer, and I’ll tell you about how I refuel with Dr Pepper and Snickers.
When you’re doing any kind of work or activities outside, a Snickers and Dr Pepper really hit the spot. Dr Pepper 20 oz bottles and SNICKERS 2-to-Go Bars are not only the perfect portion size for a quick snack, but they are also conveniently located near the check out line at your local Walmart. I recently shopped at Walmart and picked up a few for myself: [Read more…]
