#Campbells #SkilledSaucers PRODUCT REVIEW

Winter is in full swing and the cold weather is upon us. That means it's time to grab your friends and family and warm up with Campbell's Dinner Sauces!

It's a great way to make a tasty meal in less then 15 minutes.

I was excited to try out the Toasted Sesame with Garlic and Ginger  Chicken flavor thanks to crowdtap.

DISCLOSURE:  I received coupons for a free package of Campbell's Skillet Sauces and Slow Cooker Sauces from Crowdtap to try and review.  All opinions are my own.

To cook the dish brown up some chicken breast cut into bit size portions...add the sauce, cover for 5 minutes and place up your meal.

I put out a basic black and white  table setting to let the dish be the star of the party!

It was so easy to get a dinner out for 7 in less then 30 minutes. All went wild over the great taste.I found it was better then if I , say, made my  own sauce FROM SCRATCH?? Would I buy it again YES YES I cannot wait to try out the other verities.

Get UNJUNKED for Valentines Day

Valentines Day is fast approaching and that means CANDY! 
This year I don't mind as much because I found the perfect candy.
Candy that is "UNJUNKED"


WHAT YOU SAY--IMPOSSIBLE!!


BUT IT IS!!! Read the story of how here !! What MOST impressed me was this "good candy" ideal was inspired by a young boy.

The candy is UNREAL



My kids would eat chocolate for breakfast lunch and dinner...if I wasn't such a "MEAN MOM"  But know I've found a candy- without the corn syrup, the artificial ingredients, and the partially hydrogenated oils  they like and I will not feel guilty giving it to them.
We samples all five selections. The biggest winner were the Peanut Butter Cups, and the Chocolate Candy Shell Peanuts. ANY thing with peanut butter is a winner in my book.My daughter said she couldn't even tell the difference between them and the big name brand, for most of them--only the chocolate candy shelled she noticed a "MORE COCO" flavor NOT that it was bad just different. She enjoyed  the candy with peanuts more.

My son caught me later snagging a few more of the peanut M's....SOOooo good!!!
 (we have to work on his photography skills  LOL)


















 Also I just saw at CVS the minis great for Valentines Day!!!

Green Earth Pan by #Ozeri #Eco-Friendly Cookware #REVIEW

Last year one of my goals was to try and make some more green choices for our household. Getting ride of non-stick pans was one because of all the harsh  chemical used in the manufacturing of nonstick coatings. Since that time,I've found that  several manufacturers have developed  eco-friendly non-stick cookware one company is Ozeri. I was thrilled to be contacted to review their Green Earth line.
The line is one of the first to achieve non-stick perfection while remaining totally free of  harmful chemicals.

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or services mentioned above for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”

The multilayerd coating makes for a greater heat conductor then most traditional pans. The pan cooks faster so you need to avoid over heating. I wanted to give two dishes that always leave my pans a mess a try.


GRILLED CHEESE AND EGGS!!!

 
They both cooked up very nice with no extra oil/butter needed and clean up was a breeze with a warm soapy dish cloth.

The Green Earth Pan can be cleaned in the dishwasher but for the best results Ozeri suggest you clean it with hot soapy water or a little lemon juice and rinse thoroughly!

I received a 10 inch pan, they also carry a 8 inch  and 12 inch. You can find them on Amazon, Home Depo's  website and Cooking.com. Lids are also available for purchase separately.

I give the pan a 5 star rating! I'm hoping to add the other two sizes to my kitchen real soon.

A little fun from Holiday's I haven't shared yet.

#Decorative @Ceiling_Tiles #PRODUCTREVIEW

I don't know if your like me, when it comes to your homes decor, but I have to change SOMETHING in my home almost every month. Sometimes the smallest change can make  a room feel brand new. I was thrilled to get in touch with a great company who can give any room a quick and dramatic change. I'm talking about Decorative Ceiling  Tiles. They carry a wonderful selection of  faux leather, metal ceiling ties, and some foam tiles too.

I recieved  a tin and a foam tile. Here is a little about them in their own words:

Tin
Mostly used in commercial or residential projects where the expensive 3 dimensional metal look is desired but the budget for real metal is not there. These tiles can be glued to most flat surfaces, such us drywall, plywood or plaster.  Models for suspended ceiling systems also known as the grid systems are also available.  Most of these tiles are class "A" fire rated in the USA.  Tiles are made from recyclable PVC.

Foam
This is the  most economical line of ceiling tiles.  These 3 dimensional tiles are excellent solution for covering most unsightly ceilings. Their ability to cover popcorn and other textures or patched up ceilings plus the fact that they are easy to work with, makes them a popular product.  These tiles can be painted with any water-based paint.  The size is 20x20 (2.7 sqft).  Currently there are  over 50 beautiful designs.


I received one sample of the tin tile and one foam. At first I wasn't super impressed with the foam tile I received...
its one of the lines most simple designs.  But My daughter had a really creative way to use it.




HER CREATION!

She took some scrapbook paper attached it to the tile, added some sparkle snowflakes and now we have a  new card display wall.
After seeing her work I can see how even the simplest of tiles can add a nice change. 
 I think over  the next years we'll use them again we could swap out the paper and have a whole new wall!!!!

The tin tile I received was a very ornate tin!!! I really did like most of the pattern (but the center grid like pattern was a bit to much for me)  after seeing my daughter creative juices flowing, mine started to also. Check out my project.

I love the mirror effect and I think this looks great in our master bedroom, with the soft flickering of the candles glowing in the reflection, adds a nice ambiance to the room. 


There are many other ways you can use the tile other then on your ceiling...on the web site they show them as a photo backdrop!The tin tiles would make a nice back splash in your kitchen. The possibilities are limitless. The tiles start under $5  very affordable way to change up your space.

DrWatsons #GoGreenToothpaste #REVIEW

I was able to receive a sample of Dr WatsonsGoGreen toothpaste.A product free of sorbitol,SLS,Fluoide and Parabens. I received the MellowMint flavor and it was just that! You felt like your mouth was fresh with out feeling like you just chewed a mint leaf! =) My son really love it and he never like to use Mint flavor because he says they are too HOT!
