Monopoly Empire Review and Giveaway! Ends 9/19/13! US Only!
** I was sent a copy of this game for the purpose of this review. However, my own opinion was used and not influenced in any way. Monopoly Empire I am a sucker for Monopoly! It is one of my all time favorite board games. I have probably played Monopoly over 100 times in my life. I just can't get enough. Recently I was sent a copy of Monopoly Empire for the purpose of this review. I was really excited for this game because it gives a twist to my favorite game.

~Kid Friendly Tomatillo Salsa! ~
~Kid Friendly Tomatillo Salsa~ Both of my kids love chips & salsa but unfortunately at restaurants the salsa ends up being just too spicy for them to enjoy. I have purchased store bought mild salsa's but it just doesn't have the homemade feel to it which is why I was excited to try my hand at making my own fresh tomatillo salsa! We are currently house sitting so we have the advantage of taking care of someone's garden and they have tomatillos which is what inspired me to do this! Tomatillos are a sweet almost citrus twist to the tomato we know. Which is why I knew my kids would like this salsa because it's already sweet and tangy. Tomatillos are considered a fruit just like the red tomato but they are grown inside a paper like shell similar to a husk. I found out quickly that when you take the husk off, the tomatillos are sticky so make sure to wash them after you husk them! My daughter and I actually did this project together so she was in control of … [Read more...]
Braised Celery Recipe! #recipe #cooking #celery
Braised Celery! I am not a huge fan of celery. But, I have been trying to eat it more often because I know it is good for me. I also know that I can't make my daughter eat the healthy stuff if she see's me push it to the side...right? So since I have had a dislike for celery since I was a child I have been trying to focus on different ways to eat it that I might actually like. That is when I came across a recipe for Braised Celery. Celery is not a vegetable that I see cooked a lot unless it is in a soup. But, I had never thought to cook it as the main ingredient in a side dish. I was intrigued when I seen the Braised Celery recipe and I knew that I had to give it a try. Ingredients: 1 bundle of celery (about 10 stalks) - I chopped the whole stem 1 cup water 1 beef bullion cube 1/2 medium onion sliced 1 tbs butter 1/4 tsp garlic salt cracked peppercorn to taste Directions: 1. Wash and chop celery. 2. Add celery, onion and … [Read more...]
Chicken Soup for the Soul From Lemons to Lemonade #Review and #Giveaway Ends 9/19/13 – 3 Winners – US and Canada!
** I was provided with a copy of this title for the purpose of this review. However, my own opinion was used and not influenced in any way. Chicken Soup for the Soul From Lemons to Lemonade Sometimes when life gets you down it is really hard to stay positive. It just seems that there is depressing things everywhere in life. Between sickness, watching the news and financial hardships things are just not going good for many people. I learned early in life the importance of positive thinking. Sometimes I make my family mad because they say that I am "too positive". To be honest it's not like I'm unaffected by bad things. I just try really hard to not let the bad take over my mind. For example every time I start to think about something depressing in my life I stop and count at least 10 blessings that I have in my life. Focusing on the blessings can be a great way to keep your mind positive. I just always remember that all I can do is try my best and God will take care of … [Read more...]
