Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full

Dinner Done with #CookClassico

By 8 Comments

One of my personal goals this year is to become healthier.  This includes eating out less and focusing more on healthy, home cooked meals.

There are a few ingredients that, when kept on hand in the pantry, can make this goal a lot less easier.  One of those items is canned tomatoes.

When I was in the store the other day, I noticed that Classico {makers of the yummy pasta sauce} has started making canned tomatoes too!  They can be found at Walmart and 100% fresh…free from preservatives too!  You can get even more details on these new canned tomatoes by visiting the Classico Canned Tomatoes website.
From crushed tomatoes to tomato puree to whole peeled pear tomatoes, there was a great selection to choose from.  I picked up the whole peeled tomatoes to make a family favorite: chicken curry with chickpeas.

Making the Switch to #LightIcedCoffee

Resolutions…they are tricky things.  We start out with grand plans for the start of the new year.

Better our health: Lose 50 lbs, go to the gym every day for at least an hour, etc.
Save money: Spend less. Don’t eat out and save the money instead.

Then, reality hits. You realize that there aren’t enough hours in the day for that gym visit every day.  Or maybe you are totally addicted to that daily coffee you get from the nearby coffee house.

I hear you.  I am a coffee addict.  Every morning, I stop at the same place and order the same coffee drink…to the tune of $4.67/drink. Let’s think about how far I could get towards that saving money goal if I skipped that 5 days of week…I will save you the click to your calculator: It is over $1,000!

But, I can’t skip my coffee.  Thanks to International Delight Light Iced Coffee I can get the best of both worlds…smaller waistline and bigger bank account.

Wrapping It Up #DisneyPrincessWMT

By 1 Comment

Now that most of my shopping is complete, it is time to get down to the business of wrapping up all my wonderful presents to give.  I like to have fun with the wrapping and try to either keep the person guessing on what the gift is or give it a unique twist on regular wrapping paper.

I bought two Disney Princess gifts {one for H and one for a friend} last week and they were on my list of things to wrap.

Christmas #DisneyPrincessWMT Gifts for My Princess

By 2 Comments

I’ve talked a lot about H being into all things girl.

Makeup – check {only for dress-up of course…she is only 5!}

Dresses – everyday!

Purses – Just like her mommy

And of course, she loves all things Princess! We barely get in the door most nights before she has run off to throw on a Disney Princess dress over her clothes.  These days, she is really into Cinderella so I knew I wanted to give her some Cinderella themed gifts for Christmas.

I headed out to the store one morning to do some Christmas shopping and found a huge Cinderella display!
