My kids and I enjoy cooking together. If I'm honest my daughter cooks WAY better then I do , so finding some great spices to boost my dishes is just what Mama needs.
 A lot of my my girlfriends are VERY into making  simple meals with great spice rubs. Getting together to test out a few of the spices in the kitchen was great twist on GAME  NIGHT we couldn't pass up.

We first watched this video showing how easy it is to get great flavor--



Before the party my daughter used one of the suggested recipes. 
COWBOY CAVIAR a delish and ez snack. 
Also a great dill dip for veggies and bread cubes.

Was fun to munch on
during cooking and game time. 

 

One thing I thing that was very fun to do is a blindfold smelling test. See who knows their spice!

The winner got this AWESOME SAMPLE PACK! She knew 3 of the 5 they were tricky!

Then we got to cooking- we started using one of the recipes from the website with our own twist

Save the Day Cashew Stir-Fry

2 cups chopped vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onion, peppers, kale, etc.

2 Tbs oil

1/2 cup cashews

2 tsp Save the Day Chinese

6 Tbs water

2 cups cooked rice

Saute vegetables in oil for 4-5 minutes.  Add Chinese seasoning and water.  Add cashews and cook for 30 seconds.  Serve over rice.  Optional:  add any meat before cooking the vegetables.

WE HAVE NUT ALLERGIES SO WE MADE IT A BEEF & PEPPER STIR-FRY

We really enjoyed sampling some of these tasty spice mixes together.  It's wonderful to know you can make healthier choices in cooking with out sacrificing flavor.

@FullCircleHome is making #Springcleaning fun & it's #earth-friendly too! #tryazon #productreview

Spring is finally here, and you know what that means... time for a good house cleaning! EVERYONE'S FAVORITE!!! (BAZINGA) 


It can be a much more enjoyable task if you are equip with the right tools...do you take much thought into the cleaning tools you use?

•  What is the make-up of your cleaning solutions?
•  How long have you used the same duster?
•  What are your sponge and dishcloths made of?
•  Are your brushes doing the job well?

Thankfully, at  Full Circle an innovative and eco-friendly  brand has thought in detail about these questions. Every product is made by using safe, plant-based materials, and by paying close attention to every detail of the cleaning task at hand. Their cleaning products will make you fall in love with cleaning.

I was invited to try out some of these great products with family & friends through Tryazon - great site to apply to host parties trying out the latest products and sharing your opinion about them.

Before we even started cleaning we looked through the product catalog and wrote out a wish list. Their contents is beyond cleaning they carry items to stay hydrated, organizers, and composting-they have an odor-free kitchen compost collector that was at the top of my list.

Although they all are spectacular products I was able to try. Two pieces stood out  a little more to me-  The replaceable glass cleaner and the microfiber duster.

Glass Cleaner:

• nice long handle for tall glasses
• cellulose sponge 
• stands on end for quick dry
• replacement head

 




Microfiber Duster:

• microfiber head is like a magnet collecting dust
• flexible head
• replacable head that can be machine washed!

Now on to cleaning-to get started we had to mix up a few of the recipes Full Circle came up with to fight grease and grime with some pretty common household ingredients.

 

~~TOP PICKS~~

SURFACE SPRAY 

1 cup vinegar

1 cup water

juice of 1/2  Lemon

POT & PAN SCRUBBER 

6 tablespoons of baking soda

3 tablespoons of warm water

1 tablespoon castile soap

DUSTING

1/4 cup water

1/2 tablespoon castile soap

5 drops sweet orange oil

3 drops cedarwood oil

3 drops lemon oil

Now Bring on the dust & dirt -WE ARE READY!

 

When the main cleaning party was done -the dirt still shows up  and it's great to have my Full Circle products to attack!

When the cook is a little sloppy in the kitchen!

When the Soccer stars forget to take off their cleats.

I'm loving these stylish tools designed to make clean-up easy and contribute to a healthier planet also.
