Keeping Pets Safe During the Holidays + Special Giveaway!


Just like our own routines, we need to keep our pets on a healthy balance, that includes their food and treats. Use Code: PS115ZW997 at www.petcurean.com/pawsome to Receive $5 off a Bag of some of the best Premium Pet Food there is, it's grain free, gluten free, and made with ingredients everyone should have in their diets!

Few Ways To Keep Your Pet Safe During the Upcoming Holidays.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, Of All The Trees Most Lovelyyyy.. (You're welcome for that Song stuck in your head now.) Make sure to have the Tree Anchored.  The water changed in case your furbaby tries to drink it. Bacteria or Chemicals from the Farm that Grew the Tree could be on, and that can hurt your little four-legged lovers.  Along with Decorations like tinsel, and plugged in lights.

Decorative Holiday Plants, that are also toxic to our Pets.  Holly, Poinsettias, Lilies and Mistle Toe are some of the few that I try to avoid due to having Children, and Pets.

Candles.  I love candles.  They relax me, but they can be very dangerous to our curious pets.

Pet Safe Room. At my house we let the Pet's help up open the Gifts, but when friends and other family members come over that aren't always around we put the Dogs, and Cat in one of the bedrooms so they can relax, and not stress themselves out over all these people coming, and in out the house.


Reward Our Animals on the Holidays.  It's just natural to want to feed our pets things we are eating during the Holidays but don't.  It's better to get them something just for them.

LOVE. Love them always, after all, they are family and deserve the Best.

Enter to #Win A #StepUp #GrowWithUs High Chair System PLUS $100.00 #UpWeeGo #Giveaway #Spon

I received compensation in exchange for this post. All opinions are mine and mine alone.

chair

Looking for a high chair but not just any old high chair. I have been there trying to find one that was cleanable, useful, would it last 6 months or 6 years. There is a one out there. Not only could you practically take it outside and wash it down with a hose if it was that bad but it will last. Maybe you want 3 kids and this is your first. It will most likely be in good condition come that third kid. Take the chair outside, why not.

chair4

High chairs of my past have had food buildup on them and it was gross. The chairs seats would be covered in something I don't even know what you'd call it. Food gets stuck int he cracks on the chair and in the cloth seats. Theres eventually a point of no return ad you just have to toss it out. Up Wee Go Step Up High Chair is the perfect gift for that expecting mom too! Kids use high chairs for over a year. It's worth the investment if it makes the parents life easier.

They even have stairs you can use to climb up into bed or attach to the slide for some fun times. I don't know about you but my son is 1. He sits in a high chair everyday and gets so messy. We also have a plastic slide that he loves. I have never seen a toy used so much. If only the steps on my slide came off like the Up Wee Go High Chair that would make life easy and also possibly brushing teeth.

Are you into Eco things? They even have a recycling program. You can receive money toward a new high chair by recycling your old ones. Check it out HERE.

Gluten Free Fruit Recipes! Win A Nesco Electric Dehydrator & Jerky Maker.



The Nesco/All American Dehydrator is probably one of the easiest appliances I have ever used. If you are a health food guru, or just a beginner, it's all the same. Any one can use this machine.



All I did was open the box, removed the dehydrator, and cleaned the four separate trays off. Next came the fun part, I started to prepare my fruits.



If you have younger kids, or even school aged kids, this dehydrator would make the perfect back to school snacks. Even on the run, and out the door for breakfast. Jerky for protein, and Fruits like apples that's full of fiber would be healthy & filling. Along with blueberries, and strawberries that are full of vitamins they can easily eat with no mess would be ideal too. Any fruit you like, you can dry!

It is also a Jerky Maker, and came with packs of seasoning for that as well. I plan on making chicken, and turkey beef sticks. Maybe even some turkey ones after Thanksgiving with leftovers. Be prepared to see more posts of me creating awesome things with this machine.



I'm using it to make dried snacks for my 19 month old, He refuses to eat "wet" foods, so I get his vitamins in by dried fruits. When dried properly fruits can have a great source of Vitamin A & C, along with the daily fiber for a healthy body.

This is my first time using a dehydrator, so I am just a beginner. I prepared Strawberries, Blueberries, & Fiji Apples. After washing them off. The Strawberries, and Apples(I soaked in water with Cinnamon) were sliced thin. They are not to overlap while on the dehydrator trays. The blueberries I just placed on whole, where ever, I did try to make it look pretty.



I also puree'd blueberries in the blender to make my own blueberry fruit leather. I buy fruit leather all the time, and have never made my own. This is more so for me, than the kids! You don't even have to use sugar in it, the fruit has it's own natural sugar. If the fruits you use are tart, consider using Honey. I love BeeFree Honey (apple honey.) This kit came with a make your own fruit roll up plastic tray with a special no spill over lip.



Over all it takes about 10-12 hours for the fruits I chose.

What is also great about this machine is that the top tells you what temperature to use to dry certain things. There is also a recipe book with easy to follow ideas, like, Orange Julius, Strawberry Cream Cheese, and Pina Colada Fruit Roll Ups.



This was a fun review, If you know how to slice fruit, YOU CAN make your own dried fruit. If you know how to push "puree" on your blender. YOU CAN make your own fruit leather. Don't be afraid to try something new.


My Blueberry Fruit Leather!!!! Turned out great!!!! I used just blueberry puree I made, added a drop of BeeFree Honey (Apple Honey) for extra sweetness. It would've been good without the honey too, but I love things sweet.


My Strawberry Chips!!!!! They dried faster than the rest, but I love them crunchy, so I left them in longer.


My Cinnamon Apple Chips!!!!! The aroma that came off of these while they dehydrated was just beautiful. I like my Apple Chips with the skin on. These are so delicious.


These are the Goodies I dehydrated over night, and woke up too.

The whole blueberries take a little longer, so I've puree'd some strawberries to make strawberry fruit leather with since I have extra trays available again.

I really love the fruit leather. I'm going to make my own Pumpkin Pie leather, Apple pie leather.. Peach cobbler leather.. I seriously, am addicted to the fruit leather.


Interesting Stats about the machine;

The machine itself is 500 watts, top mounted 2,100-rpm fan. That means it dries faster with more power, and you get results in hours, not days.

The patented Converga-Flow action provides even heat distribution, no need to rotate trays. No worries about flavors mixing.

Adjustable thermostat (95F-155F) used for Precision drying for the best quality for perfect fruit, vegetables, herbs, and jerky.
Opaque Vita-Save exterior for exclusive light-blocking in preserving vitamins, and minerals.

Expandable, even tho it comes with 4 trays, This model can operate with 12 trays, and automatically adjusts the pressure itself.


Here's your chance to Win A Dehydrator!!
Giveaway Begins 12:01 AM 7/30/2012 &  Ends 12:01AM  8/30/12,
WINNER IS CHOSEN BY RANDOM ON RAFFLECOPTER, WILL EMAIL WINNER WITHIN 24HOURS, WINNER HAS 7DAYS TO REPLY, OR NEW WINNER IS CHOSEN.

I want to thank Nesco/All American Harvest for such a wonderful, easy to use machine. And, also a bigger thanks for Sponsoring this Review, & Giveaway. Thank you Nesco!!!! I am in love with my dehydrator.

**Receiving the Dehydrator for free from Nesco did not sway my opinion on dried fruit. I have always loved dried fruit, and been curious on how to make my own. Honestly, If It wasn't good, I would have said so. I've had nothing but a positive experience using this machine. Links posted are up to the reader to click in reference to more information on the machine.**..More About My Blog Disclosure.

Just Almonds Review, Ginger Snap Almond Cookies.

Fun fact about almonds; An almond is not really a nut, it is a drupe. which is technically a fruit. Did you know that? I didn't! If you want to learn more about Almonds visit Just Almonds.

Just Almonds gave me a chance to do a review in exchange for product, I received Almonds & Just Almond Flour. I combined both, and made COOKIES! If you've been following my blogs, you will notice that I love to cook. I have ate Almond products before from Andersons, and Wholefoods, but I had never tried to make cookies myself. Making them yourself is by far less expensive. I baked some cookies for my moms group, I'm always trying to find better, healthier snack alternatives. The cookies were pretty simple, and easy to make. I loved the texture of the Almond Flour. Also it's nice to know that they are grown, and packaged here in the U.S.A. If you are a gluten free, natural family, I advice you to check Almond Flour out.



I felt as if I accomplished something by baking almond cookies. In my honest, opinion, I believe almonds are a rich source of vitamin E, calcium, phosphorous, iron and magnesium. It also contains zinc, selenium, copper and niacin. Almonds are good for your brain, heart, & skin. You can use almonds to regulate blood pressure, and cholesterol. You can help prevent certain cancers like colon, almonds help to improve the movement through the colon. Diabetics can eat almonds to help control the rise in sugar and insulin levels after meals. Unsweetened almond milk can help reduce weight by mono-saturated fat that is in almonds by satisfying appetite, and prevents over-eating. Also, because almonds are rich in fiber, and full of folic acids, they are ideal to eat during pregnancy to help with constipation. And, a boost of energy.



The Cookies turned out wonderful. The aroma of the spices from the oven made me want to mix up more batches. What else I loved about this recipe with the almond flour was, you didn't have to use your mixer. Just mixing by hand, and rolling the almond flour into balls was fairly simple after the wet ingredients were added. Using the beefree honey made it less sticky, and didn't stick to my hands much.



I thought it looked pretty, all the different colored spices over top the almond flour.



Below is the recipe if you'd like to try to make some yourself. Just Almond sells Almond Flour, Almond Meal, & Almonds by bulk as well.



How To Make The Cookies!

Preheat oven to 275 degrees

Blend all the dry ingredients together

Add the honey and butter to the dry ingredients, and blend well

Create small balls of dough, place about an inch apart

Flatten each cookie with a fork, flatten it one way with the fork, then the other way so it makes a cross over pattern

Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar over each cookie

Add a whole almond to the middle of the cookie

Bake for 15 minutes

Lower the oven to 175, flip the cookies over, and bake for another 15 mins

You know me, I hope I have made you all hungry! Drooling, Vying for the taste of a ginger snap almond cookie on your tongue, & wanting to experiment using Almond Products. This was a delicious review, and yes I ate my cookies warm.

You can find Just Almonds on Facebook, or by JustAlmonds.com. Hope you enjoyed my review, and the fun, healthy facts about Almonds.

#HoneyBakedHoliday #Review Roasted Turkey, Honey Glazed Ham, 2 Side Dishes, and a Southern Pecan Pie + #Giveaway #Spon



I had the opportunity to review HoneyBaked Ham for the Holidays. I went to the Sawmill Road Location. Check your Local HoneyBaked Ham to see what promotions they may be doing.  Sometimes there are even coupons online to print, and take in with you while ordering. Also it doesn't hurt to ask if they have any coupons for you to use too.  It's all Gravy, Baby, Never know unless you ask.



I bought everything I needed for a Thanksgiving Meal, Ham, Roasted Turkey, Gravy, 2 Side Dishes, even a Pie. If you've never tried HoneyBaked Ham I would advise you to not go to that fast food place next time you want something for lunch, go to a Honey Baked Ham store, get a sandwich meal. Almost everyone I know did not know that you can buy lunch in the store as a meal, drink, and all. HoneyBaked Ham isn't just Catered meals, and Whole Dinners.  It's also fresh made sandwich combos, cookies, breads, pies and soups.



When I think of Honeybaked Ham, I automatically think of the delicious honey glazed hams with the bones in.  The exciting part about these hams is unfolding the foil wrappers, and unwrapping the Ham inside that's soaking in the juices, and enveloped by the crunchy glaze.  Since it was glazed, and the honey caramelized around the ham, the ham itself inside was moist & juicy.


To me the Holidays should be about spending time with your loved ones. Hanging out, getting to know each other over good food, and just relaxing.  As you can see the spread for my HoneyBaked Review was an easy, yet delicious one.




Let me tell you about the Southern Pecan Pie.  These can be found in the freezer section of HoneyBaked Ham. It's a simple take, bake, and serve.  The pie is covered with pecans, the crust was golden brown after baking for 20 mins.  I was impressed with the flaky crust, and flavorful gooey inside.


I would offer to share some of the pie with you, but we ate it all. I think we really inhaled it. It reminded me of my Mamas Pecan Pie. The crunchy pecan topping was just the perfect contrast with the filling. If Pecan Pie is not your thang, there are other Seasonal Bake & Serve Pies.


One of my favorite Combos was the Roasted HoneyBaked Turkey Breast, and the Citrus Walnut Cranberry Bake & Serve Side dish.  HoneyBaked Ham does have Gravy (Which is also delicious) but I like spreading the cranberry on my Turkey like a Jam. The Turkey was moist, just like the Ham, juicy underneath the layer of glaze. To me this is total Thanksgiving comfort food.


I am thankful for friends, family, great opportunities, and genuine people.  I am also thankful for Easy MEALS! I really didn't feel like dirtying anymore dishes than I had to since the Bake & Serve Side dishes could be heated as in.  I loved how convenient that was.  


I also liked that  heating the Ham, and Turkey up, didn't make my pans all crusty like they would've been if I was baking things for hours myself.  Seriously, so, so, so convenient.  If it looks easy in this post, it's because it was easy.
