Are you ready for spring cleaning?  I've been working for the past couple of weeks in my house try to get everything cleaned up and organized.  It is definitely a work in progress!  As you spring clean, one basic project that should be on everyone's list is cleaning out your cabinets, especially your pantry!

You should, of course, try to throw out any expired food and anything else that is just taking up space and will never be used, but this is also a good time to organize and improve the look of your pantry.  Rearrange your food to make sure like-items are together and that the items you use most are easily accessible and neatly stacked.

You can also greatly improve the look of your wire shelf pantry with Help MyShelf. This is a product used to cover wire shelves, making me more attractive and also more user friendly.

With Help MyShelf, you don't have to worry about small items falling through the cracks of your wire shelves.  The special covering also makes your shelving more stable so items are less likely to fall over, which means no more spills, and everything stays neatly stacked and lined up like you want it.

Check out this video to see how it works:

I think this is a great product!  I've had wire shelving before in my closet, as well as my laundry room.  Although wire shelves are easy to install and affordable, they are not very pretty, and they are not the most stable shelves to set things on.

I wish I'd had a product like Help MyShelf before.  I think it would greatly improve the look of things and also give your more possibilities for the use of your shelves, allowing you to place smaller items on them and make stacking easier.

I just love Chinese food!  Have you tried P.F. Chang's lately? This year they put a great Winter Seasonal Menu in place.  P.F. Chang's is celebrating the Chinese New Year and the year of the horse with these dishes which symbolize good luck and prosperity.

The new seasonal menu includes a variety of entrees:

• Orange Ginger Beet Salad
• Shanghai Waldorf Salad
• Chili Shrimp Bao
• Firecracker Chicken
• Red Wine and Pepper Graised Beef
• Miso Glazed Salmon

And that's not all! They also have some new desserts and drinks:

• Chocolate Raspberry Wontons
• Sweet Vanilla Cream Wontons
• Crimson Spritzer
• Red Goose Martini

Don't these sound great?  I would love to try the Chocolate Raspberry Wontons!  Just imagine crispy handmade wontons filled with a creamy chocolate-raspberry filling, dusted with powdered sugar, and served with raspberry and chocolate sauces, fresh raspberries and mint!  

And I think the Firecracker Chicken Sounds great!  It features a savory and spicy hoison-glazed chicken breast, wok-fired with pineapple, Chinese broccoli, Asian mushrooms, Fresno peppers and dried chilis. Delicious!

Spring time is right around the corner. (It's 75 degrees here today! Nice!)  This means it is time to start breaking out the fresh fruits and vegetables.  There is nothing like a fresh salad or a plate of freshly cooked vegetables for lunch on a sunny spring day.

While shoppng for your fruits and vegetables,  look for the products Fresh From Florida.  The great thing about Florida is that the weather is perfect, and you can always find fresh, locally grown produce, no matter what time of year it is. 

Vegetables are so versatile and can be prepared in so many ways.  Personally I love cooked vegetables way better than raw, and I just LOVE roasted vegetables.  Today I'm featuring a fantastic recipe for Pan Roasted Florida Vegetables.  The recipe comes to us form our friends at Fresh from Florida.  Check it out!

Recipe for Pan Roasted Florida Vegetables:

Ingredients:

1 large eggplant, large diced (remove skin if desired)

2 zucchini, large diced

2 large squash, large diced

2 bell peppers, seeded and diced large

6 cloves fresh garlic, minced

12 mushrooms, rinsed and quartered

1 large yellow onion, diced

1/4 cup fresh parsley, hand torn

2 teaspoons fresh oregano (or 1 teaspoon dried oregano)

canola or olive oil for cooking

sea salt to taste fresh

Directions:

1.  Pre heat a large-sized sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the hot pan. Add half of the onion to the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Add half of the garlic and all the bell peppers to the onion mixture in the pan. Continue to cook the vegetables in the pan and add all of the yellow squash and zucchini to the pan.

2.  Lightly season the cooking vegetables with salt and pepper. Let the vegetables cook until the squash is just crisp-tender (about two minutes). Remove the vegetables from the pan into a large serving bowl. Place the sauté pan back over the heat and use a spatula to remove any debris.

3.  Once the pan is hot again, add 1 tablespoon oil and the other half of the diced onion. Let the onions cook for 2 minutes and then add the garlic, mushrooms and eggplant. Lightly season the cooking vegetables with salt and pepper. Let the vegetables cook until the eggplant is just tender (about 2 minutes).

4.  Remove the vegetables from the pan and place them into the bowl with the other vegetables. Add the fresh herbs to the bowl of vegetables and stir to combine. Serve warm.

If you’ve ever felt that you weren’t in control of your finances, you are not alone!  Whether you are dealing with unexpected emergency expenses, a job loss, or just your average monthly bills and family essentials, it can be a struggle to keep up and control keep in control of your financial situation.

If you have financial difficulties or struggle with budgeting for your family, Kmart is here to help with their new Share the Word Financial Empowerment Platform.  The platform was created in honor of Black History Month, and it was created in order to provide valuable resources to help Kmart customers.

For this program Kmart has teamed up with Glinda Bridgforth.  She is the author of Girl, Get Your Money Straight! and the program is offering a free dowloadable family finance e-guide, created by Bridgforth.  Within th guide you will find family budget and savings advice, as well as money saving tips and usefu templates.

Do you have any finacial tips of your own?  

If I had to give a few financial tips, I would tell people to set aside a little money each week for an emergency fund.

Also, examine your current spending and try to find where you can make cuts.  (This could entail anything from cancelling a few movie channels, swapping to a cheaper cell phone service, or just swapping out a few name brand products for generic ones.)

I also like to make shopping lists and a shopping budget, and I try my best to stick to the list, and avoid impulse purchases as much as possible.  This takes a lot of discipline, but it can really help you to stay within your budget.

For more financial tips, I encourage you to check out the Share the Word platform on Kmart.com.
