10 minute dinner? Count me in!

Dinner is a great time to sit down, relax,and enjoy it with your family or significant other...however, sometimes the dinner prep can cut into that special time....Sooooo KROGER has created awesome 10-minute skillet meals that allow you to spend that extra time with those you love this holiday season!  

Thanks to BzzAgent I was able to sample a FREE skillet meal, salad kit, and loaf of garlic bread.  The skillet meal I selected was the Sausage and Rigatoni and it was very good.  It went from frozen in a bag to the table in 10 minutes!  All I had to do was place the contents of the bag into the skillet cover and let it simmer!  It had fresh and crispy green and red peppers, a light sauce, sausage, and rigatoni noodles.  The sauce was light as I mentioned so if you crave that EXTRA saucy italian flavor it might be a good idea to add your favorite sauce to the mix to create an even more delicious dinner for you and your family!  

The skillet meals are available with tasty italian, mexican, and asian flavors!  The salad kits also have variety which include classic caesar, lite caesar, and house salad with bacon!  The possibilities are endless and you never know when you aren't going to be feeling up to par to create own dinner that is why the skillet meals are perfect to have on hand for those "just-in-case" type of evenings.

Regular Release Date: November 12, 2013

Perfect time to purchase for that special child or adult in your life --just in time for the holidays and BEFORE black friday!  

I don't know about you but I grew up on Disney, especially the classics which never get old!  Walt Disney and Walt Disney World know how to make me feel like a kid over and over again.  My most recent trip to the parks was about 3 years ago and let me tell you it never gets old!  (I don't even have children yet)..Hearing those timeless Disney songs reminds me of being little with my sister and mom and going to the Disney parks as a child (and trust me since I was 2 years old we went to Disney World each and every year) and it NEVER gets old!  Whether its a whole new world from the Classic Aladdin movie or the circle of life  from the Lion King I could listen to these songs over and over again (and I plan on doing this when I have kids one day)!  

So go ahead and make someone's holiday and pre-order the box set on Amazon.com or better yet check out a Disney Park and purchase it today!

The fairest coffee in the land

How much, if anything, do YOU know about FAIR TRADE COFFEE?

Before I received my Green Mountain Coffee K-cups compliments of BzzAgent, I had NO CLUE!

So, I decided to read up on it and I want to share with all of you the importance and impact it has on others!

So what does FAIR TRADE mean?

--> For farmers it means a fair price for their beans (no getting ripped off) with a minimum so that the farmer can reinvest this $$$ into his crops, the future, and even the COMMUNITY (AKAme and you!)

That sounds pretty good doesn't, it?  I think so!

I'm all about giving back to others and paying it forward (check out the movie) so I really like this idea!  

Check more about the movement here

Also because I like giving back, use any of the coupon codes at the link above to receive a savings of $2 on a 24 count of K-cups!

I hope now that when you drink your morning coffee, it means to you a little more than a caffeine buzz!  There are farmers and others out there that need paid for providing us with our JAVA!

Dry skin--NOT anymore!

It seems like yesterday summer was upon us and my skin was soft and hydrated and moisturized....Oh wait! IT STILL IS--thanks to Curel and their magical INTENSIVE HEALING cream!

Who would have thought this tiny jar could contain the answer to my dry skin that was approaching in this fall season?  

Before my skin looked like this:

I had dry rough elbows that looked chaffed...

Now my skin looks like this:

Soft, moisturized and N.O. M.O.R.E redness!

Thank you Bzzagent for my free samples & Curel for this tiny miracle worker!

A tiny bit of this goes a LOOOONNNGGGG way!

Kashi Hummus Crisps are down right DELICIOUS!

KASHI, first off, is an amazing brand in itself--not only do they pick the best ingredients but they also have morals and values for their business!

 They also announced their commitment to organic and Non-

GMO Project Verification--isn't that amazing?!

I sure think it is!  I feel like Kashi is a brand that I can trust 

and that 

honestly, they want the best for me, the customer...how

many 

brands can you actually say that about!?  I could probably

count on 1 hand!  

I received from Bzzagent the opportunity to try out Kashi's new hummus crisps and boy was I excited!  I was a little worried about the plain flavor or olive oil and sea salt (my taste buds loveeeeeee flavor), however, I was given a run for my $$$!  Do NOT be fooled olive oil and sea salt kashi hummus crisps are AMAZING--I seriously licked every last crumb out of the bag!  The crisps were jam packed with flavor and it was amazing...alsoooooo, you could indulge in 27 crisps for 1 serving size of 120 calories...what other salty delicious snack can you say the serving size is 27 crisps and ONLY 120 calories--NONE!!!  Needless to say, I was impressed and going to have to try all the flavors!  

Check out all the Kashi goodness here

Me fooling around with my Kashi Crisps!  Mean muggin' ain't nobody going to take my crisps!

I guess I'll share with my boyfriend, Justyn!
He sure is lucky!

Thanks Bzzagent for my Olive Oil and Sea Salt crisps!
