With one kiddo at school, one at pre-school and the other taking a nap, it leaves me with some free time to clean up around the house .... or just snap random pictures around my kitchen. Don't judge me. Instagram photos are a lot more fun than scraping last night's dinner off plates and unloading the dishwasher. These are just a few of my favorite kitchen things from around my red kitchen. *My favorite plate in my … [Read more...]
Last month I was introduced to a new way to store, edit and share our precious family video memories with a Blu-ray Disc Storage System. The idea is simple and the process is easy enough for someone with little to no experience using technology. If you can turn on a computer or play a blu-ray, you can certainly take your videos from a digital file to a full feature movie on your television. So how do you take all … [Read more...]
This past week I was a total failure in planning out our meals. I don't know if it was just the lack of ideas or my procrastination but everything I ended up cooking was just a last minute brainstorm which resulted in me abusing the slow cooker. Fortunately, Calphalon products are built to last and this one is taking a daily beating. I had a few extra tubes of Pillsbury Crescents Rolls hanging out in the fridge … [Read more...]
In my kitchen there's one product you'll almost always find hanging out in the refrigerator and that's Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. I've found that it's a universal product that I can use for breakfast, lunch, dinner and my personal favorite, dessert. Whether I'm rolling one up with cheese and sausage crumbles for breakfast or just tossing a basket of them on the table for dinner, it's a product that everyone in our … [Read more...]
Last month I was introduced to these oh-so-tasty International Delight Iced Coffee flavors that hit the dairy section of Walmart and Sam's Club on January 15th. Just to refresh you ... these iced coffees are a pre-mixed and sweetened iced coffee that is ready to pour over ice, no need to brew or measure anything. Well, ever since I made that White Chocolate Caramel Mocha Cookie Iced Coffee Chiller, I've been … [Read more...]

I've shared how to use a new pie press for Valentine's Day that you can fill with simple fruit fillings or more savory ones for a mini meal to … [Read more...]
There aren't a lot of things that get me riled up or upset to the point of blogging about it. I've had plenty of bad experiences when dealing with a brand's customer service but nothing and I mean nothing compares to what happened to me today. * SEE BOTTOM FOR UPDATES * For the past few weeks I've been thinking about replacing my lost engagement ring and finding one to match my old wedding band. I spent a lot of … [Read more...]
One of my husband's all time favorite dinners around this house is stuffed peppers. For me, it's kinda like an ehh it's okay meal. I don't love it but I don't dislike it either. What I do love is turning it into a soup you can sip. All the same flavors I love but no cutting through the pepper and trying to get the exact same portions of the ingredients all in one bite. I'm neurotic like that. Stuffed Green … [Read more...]
This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine. No matter where I've lived, Walgreens has always been a convenient place for me to pick up essential groceries, holiday treats and OTC medications. Since getting married, it has also become my go-to pharmacy for the needs of my family's prescription medications because it's affordable and conveniently located no matter where I am. But what if I … [Read more...]
