A few weeks ago I made Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes for Noah’s birthday. The first time I made them was last year (also for his birthday). At the time, I wasn’t sure if he’d like them or not. (I don’t know what I was thinking….it’s cookie dough flavored frosting! How could he not like them?) But just in case, I decided to only use the cookie dough frosting on half of the cupcakes. For the other half, I used a milk chocolate frosting.
The good news is that this left me with half a bowl of delicious frosting to play with! One thing I decided to do with the leftover was add them to a stack of waffles! [Read more…]
Happy September! And Happy Friday to ya! Before we get to this week’s awesome features, I want to invite everyone to enter my latest GIVEAWAY! I’ve called it a “back to school giveaway” but the prizes could be enjoyed by anybody really….the prize pack includes products from Rubbermaid and Contigo. Plus, there is a Dymo Label Maker! (I love label makers!)
This week my husband and I are excited for the first football Saturday of the year, so this was on my mind as I looked over last week’s party links…..so for this week’s features I’ve chosen some delicious appetizers for game day (or any other day, of course!) [Read more…]
This week is our first Football Saturday of the season! And you know what that means! It’s time for me to decide what sort of foods we’ll be indulging in as we watch the games! A while back, I FINALLY got around to trying this recipe for Copy Cat Chick-Fil-A Nuggets! These things are amazingly good, and are definitely a great choice for your football party menu, whether it’s just you & your family or a whole army of football junkies! [Read more…]
This week we’ve had such great weather…..I like to call it “pre-fall.” We’ve had 80s in the days and 60s at night! I wish it could stay like this all the time! But I know it won’t last long……but the great thing about cooler weather is that I get to break out my favorite sweaters, and we get to enjoy yummy fall foods like soups and homemade bread!
Today I have a few bread recipes to features…..these look so yummy! And they are definitely not your average white and wheat breads! Check it out! [Read more…]
This week we’ve been lucky to get a lot of rain and slightly more mild temperatures. But it’s still hot! I’m ready for fall! Today I was shopping at Target, and I found some new limited edition products from Glade. The scent is called Apple Tree Picnic. I’ve purchased apple scented products before, but this scent is the best ever. Our house smells like an orchard! ANYWAY….I always associate apples with fall, and even though we’re not quite in to the season yet, I’ve got apple on the brain! So today I’m featuring some ideas featuring one of my favorite fruits: the apple! Hope you enjoy!

The fall season is almost upon us, but that doesn’t mean we have to let our summer health and fitness routines fall by the wayside. Didn’t have a summer health and fitness routine? Well, in that case, the fall season is a great time to start one!
My husband and I are both at a good weight and are in fairly good health. In my case, I’m in my early 30s (and holding). I’ve still got a lot of energy, and I’m fairly strong for my tiny size, if I do say so myself! But I’m the Skinny Minnie who wants to be Mighty Mouse! Haha! My husband and I are always working on DIY projects, and I hate it when we get to the parts where I can’t help!
As for my husband, he’s getting ready to turn the big 4-0. He was actually very sick a few months ago. And although, he’s mostly recovered, he lost a lot of his muscle strength, and he also struggles with neuropathy, which sometimes keeps him down. He’s always been an active person, and he loves working and fixing things, so I definitely want him to get back in shape, so he can do activities he loves!
Regardless of your age, size, fitness level, and situation, I believe the right supplements and fitness products are a MUST if you really want to get serious about your health and/or fitness levels! With 42 grams of protein and 24 vitamins and minerals, EAS Myoplex Ready to Drink Shakes are a great choice to help you build muscle and strength. [Read more…]

Are you ready to send your kids back to school? I was shopping the other day and was overwhelmed by all the awesome school supply selections. (I love school supplies!) And I was just as overwhelmed by all the back to school snacking options. At our house, I need to have a few options that can be used for after school snacks but could also double as lunch items in the event that Noah takes his lunch, and it doesn’t hurt if they could also serve as an on-the-go breakfast item. Beyond this, it also helps if the products are affordable. Mott’s® Applesauce and Apple Juice are two things I can count on for this. [Read more…]
