Sara Lee Creme Filled Snack Cakes Review

Image
My family loves Sara Lee Snack cakes. I swear I think that my kids know when a new flavor or cake comes out. We are a family that is always on the go. Between the kids babysitting, errands to run and activities, there is never a dull moment! I love to be able to have snacks on hand. Sara Lee provides that for me. (we also love the on the go healthy snacks too) I think we have tried all the different cakes and flavors! My husband loves the Crumb cakes for breakfast. Before I found out that I couldn't eat bread products, I loved the brownie chocolate chip cakes! I will have to look and see if Sara Lee sells gluten free... These new crème filled cakes are so soft and yummy. Grab singles to go or with my big family grab a box of singles to go. Take camping or just on a road trip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LB4RvpgsWws If you are a mom, grab a glass of milk and a snack cake....go hide in the bathroom and take a breather for a few minutes. You should check out all

Marshmallow Pro

Image
Love Smores Everyone loves smores.....right? That yummy gooey marshmallow mixed with that melted chocolate and crunch of graham. I'm making my mouth water just thinking about it. The only problem with smores, while camping, is finding the right stick. Not always easy. Marshmallow Pro has eliminated that issue for you. This set comes with 5 extendable sticks. Each in a different color so you know which stick is yours. If you have any kids, you know that it is a must for them to have their own stick. You don't want anyone getting burned. The best thing about these, in my opinion, is the extendable sticks. You don't have to get to close to the fire to roast your marshmallows. Each stick holds 2 marshmallows at the end. Twice the fun and less time. This set also comes with a nice carry roll. Put the sticks in the slot

-Best Friend Ever Coffee Mug- Got Me Tipsy

Image
As I have said in a couple reviews for this company, I love them. But I really do! The wine glasses and the coffee mugs are made so well. The funny quips and or loving sayings are just right. It is sometimes hard to find the perfect gift for that co worker or family member. This company can help you! You can microwave and toss the mugs in the dishwasher and stay just like when you first got them. I like the clear mugs as they are more unique that the normal white or black mugs. My best friend is my sister. I was excited to see her face when she got this. Our mom has been having some health issues and it was the perfect time to show her how much I loved her. I could not manage without her! You can purchase this mug from Amazon for $16.97 http://www.amazon.com/Best-Friend-Ever-Glass-Coffee/dp/B011QFFL06?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00 Check out their website for more awesome products! http://www.gotmetipsy.com/ I received this prod

Caffè Verde-Keurig 2.0 Reusable KCup Carafe Filter

Image
I have nothing bad to say about these! I hate that Kuerig K cups are just another piece of garbage to fill the dumps. I love the Kuerig, don't get me wrong. I love Caffe Verde because they have a reusable K cup. Just fill the mesh and plastic cup with your favorite flavor of coffee or tea and pop it in the Kuerig. Push the button and your coffee is ready to be made. Once done, wash out and use again. How much simpler can you get? So eco friendly! More reusing and less garbage! Plus the added greatness of purple being my favorite color! You can purchase these from Amazon for $15.97 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A5WTAPI?ref_=cm_rdp_product

Grill Brush from Cave Tools Review

Image
My oldest son and husband love this grill brush. It was so easy to clean all the BBQ'd remains off the grates of the grill. It only took around 5 minutes to clean the whole top. Before After This grill brush is super heavy duty. We use our grill all year round so it is always needing to be cleaned. Nice long handle with a no slip grip. We love to bbq at the lake during the summer. You should take this along, if you do to, scrape all the other users food off before you throw yours on. No need for other people's food to be cooked to yours. EWE..... This brush is also very easy to clean. Just soap it up and use hot water. Make sure to air dry. Do not let children under 12 use this product without parental supervision. You can purchase this great product from Cavetools.com for $12.99 right now http://cavetools.com/products/grill-brush-triple-stainless-steel-bristles 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE - If your bbq brush does not live up to expectations our cus

Silicone Grill Gloves Free Round Silicone Pot Holder and Silicone BBQ Basting Brush

Image
These gloves can fit me who has a really small hand and my son who has quite the large hands. I wasn't sure they would fit over his "mitts" due to them being so big. But guess what? They did! My daughter loves to bake and she has been so skeptical about these type gloves. She has a phobia about getting burnt. (as most of us do) She is able to take out cookie sheets and muffin tins with no problem at all. With her hands being as small as mine the gloves cover quite a bit of her wrist and arm too. That helps in case you accidently bump the side of the stove when you are removing your baked item. I love., finally having a grill brush for putting sauces on the meat. Does not melt! Might if you just sat it on the grill but to just cover meat with sauces, you are perfect! You can purchase this set from Amazon for $24.99 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AZEBPLS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

Cave Tools BBQ Skewers Set

Image
We recently had a party where everything that we cooked had bacon it in. It was so much fun. However, I had wooden skewers. I wasn't anticipating the skewer to splinter. When it splintered it went part way into the chicken and the other piece went into my finger. It was not a pleasant experience. With metal skewers, this will not happen. The wood ones tend to bend. The metal ones, from Cave Tools, are pretty sturdy. They are sharp enough to push through the meat, veggie or fruit. These skewers are unique, in that they are flat. When you are turning the kabobs on the grill the food won't wiggle like the round ones. Another great thing is that they are able to be put in the dishwasher. You can't beat that. Who wants to do that much clean up after you have made the food. There is also a slider at the end that makes it easy for you to slide the food off skewer. You can purchase these metal skewers for $13.99 http://cavetools.com/products/shish-kabob-barbecue-skewers

Sugar Bowl Bakery Pumpkin Spice Madeleines

Image
I am not sure that I can express enough, just how good these cookies were! The minute you take off the lid, you are transported to a pumpkin scented heaven. I would love a candle with this scent. Each one leaves you wanting more. You can't eat just one! I have become a lover of Sugar Bowl Bakery. You should check them out for your daily treat. http://sugarbowlbakery.com/ 0 Trans fat and no preservatives! I have had the privilege of testing out a couple of Sugar Bowl Bakeries treats. The chocolate brownie bites were heaven in your mouth. No joke...They were individually wrapped for your convenience. The chocolate was perfect, the brownie bite was soft.. I could not ask more of a treat! Grab yourself a bowl of ice cream and warm up your brownie. Or grab a glass of ice cold milk. As a mom, with such a big household, it was nice to sit down after everyone was in bed and eat a treat. You can purchase from amazon for $34.24 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YX6

Mini Silicone Muffin Pan 24 Cups (Blue)

Image
My daughter, who is the baker in the house, loves silicone bake ware. She says that it is so much easier to use and to clean. When your product arrives, make sure to wash it in warm, soapy water. After that first wash, bake away. You can make so many things in the mini muffin pan. You can make food items like cupcakes, muffins, quiche, jello, brownie bites, and so much more. You can also make non food items like 2nd hand crayons, mint bowls and more. If you make your own baby food then this set would be perfect for you also. Just pour your mix into the holes and put in the freezer. So easy to remove the cooked or frozen item. Just push from the bottom and voila they come out. Also super easy to wash. You can put it in the top shelf of the dishwasher or wash by hand. No more scraping and staining of your pans. We loved this muffin pan. You can purchase this pan from Amazon for $12.90 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017J6QA0G?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_

Sour Jacks Candies

Image
Sour Jacks candies should be a house hold staple this time of the year. There are so many things that you can do with them. If you shred them, you can make a cookie have chew or a bowl of ice cream have a extra kick. I have seen people add them to make ears on a monster, cut them up to be different body parts for a face. You can also just eat them as they are, if you'd like. The chewy candies are so yummy and have a sugary coating. My only beef is that I can't run down to the local Walmart to buy these. You can buy them online at tons of candy places. I have heard that some AMC movie theaters have them. My daughter already wants me to buy her some more. We got these to enter one of the candy decorating contests. My daughter wanted to do something that looks like a Christmas village.

Sugar Bowl Bakery -Madeleines and Brownie Bites

Image
My family fell in love with these cookie/cakes and brownie bites! (trying to find a friend to go pick me up some more from Costco) The chocolate brownie bites were heaven in your mouth. No joke...They were individually wrapped for your convenience. The chocolate was perfect, the brownie bite was soft.. I could not ask more of a treat! Grab yourself a bowl of ice cream and warm up your brownie. Or grab a glass of ice cold milk. As a mom, with such a big household, it was nice to sit down after everyone was in bed and eat a treat. You can purchase from amazon for $34.24 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YX677AI?keywords=sugar%20bowl%20bakery&qid=1450565571&ref_=sr_1_3&sr=8-3 The other treat we got to try out were the madeleines. It was a cookie/cake type texture. They had a sweet taste to them. These would make such a great treat to have on the table for holidays. If you want to get creative, you can dip one end of the Madeleines in candy melts.

Zoe's Kitchen

Image
Are you looking for great food, at a great price? You should check out Zoe's Kitchen! Mediterranean food is so good for you. When I walked in, I saw nice bright orange, green and mustard yellow colors. The signs were clear as to the menu items. Each one had the name of the food and what it was. You could choose from starters such as: Hummus Trio Basil Pesto Hummus Red Pepper Hummus Hummus Chicken and Orzo or Tomato bisque soups We chose the chicken and orzo soup for our starter. As it was only $2.99 a cup it was a great deal. Yummy! Nice and hot, with great flavoring! Your next set of food choices would be the salads. 7 choices to be made in the salad category. There are classic sandwiches, grilled sandwiches and pita sandwiches to choose from. All looked so yummy but my husband was starving so we went with a full entrée of Mediterranean chicken. This had the chicken flat grilled, caramelized onions, braised white beans, side Greek salad and pita bread.
