Mrs. Cavanaugh's World Famous Chocolate plus PROMO CODE for b1g1 #HolidayGiftGuide #Spon

Who doesn't love Chocolate? Especially World Famous Since 1964 Chocolate for the Holidays! This is a Sponsored Post for the Holidays.

Time was when Marie Cavanaugh spent hours in her South Dakota farmhouse each Christmas season making pecan rolls and homemade chocolates for holiday gifting.

"It started when my aunt sent her pecan-rolls recipe," Mrs. Cavanaugh recalled. "I gave the recipe my own touch and started making the yummy specialties. Then I began dipping chocolates. Our friends and neighbors loved these treats, encouraging me to start a candy business. Finally, I decided it might be a good idea.'"

Her husband George and children Carla, Lorraine, Calvin, Colene and Genise rallied, helping Mrs. Cavanaugh fill demands for her homemade sweets.

...In 1972, the family moved to Utah, leaving good friends and their beloved cattle ranch.

"It was a difficult decision, especially for George," Mrs. Cavanaugh said. "He was excited about making our new venture, which we chose to call Mrs. Cavanaugh's Candies, a great success. We felt Utah was blessed with good chocolates and that we would enjoy - and could compete with - those who pride themselves on making excellent chocolates."

Millions of pounds of chocolates later, Mrs. Cavanaugh's candies have earned a reputation for unquestionable excellence....

Ask chocolate aficionados. They will direct those seeking the best chocolates to the popular Mrs. Cavanaugh's Candies. My readers receive Buy 1 lb Get 1 lb FREE of Mrs. Cavanaugh's Chocolates use promo code: usfamily14 http://www.mrscavanaughs.com/

#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.  

From now until 1/11/15 you can enter to win a $25,000 HoneyBaked Kitchen Makeover when you buy a Ham and Turkey Breast bundle.

Perfect Nut to Fruit Ratio #Review @NutsGourmet #HolidayGiftGuide

I'm a nutty person.  Seriously.. complete nuts.. I can live off of nuts, and dried fruits if need be.  So could my little one.  Recently I received GourtmetNut's On The Go Nut & Power Up mixes to review for free for my opinion. I thought GourmetNut had the perfect nut to fruit ratio.

I have nothing but great things to say about the nuts, and dried fruits in these resealable bags.  There are different mixes, depending on if you are Powering Up, On The Go, or just feel like snacking on something delicious that are 100% Natural. What really impressed me about these bags of GourmetNuts were the variety of Nuts, and Fruit.  

The Gourmet POWERUP comes in Almond Cranberry Crunch, Mega Omega, and Protein Packed.

Then there is Gourmet On The Go, Almond Cranberry Crunch, Body Boosting Antioxidant mix, and Energize Me Protein Mix.

My overall impression: Usually when I buy a bag of Mixed nuts/fruit in the grocery store, it has a majority of Sunflower seeds, raisins, and peanuts.  All which I don't mind, but I do love Cashews, Almonds, Brazil Nuts, Walnuts, and Hazelnuts too.  My favorite nuts are Cashews, and Hazelnuts, it's pretty hard finding an affordable mix with these two in them, and fruit too?? Almost impossible.  Til I found Gourmet Nuts. The product in the bags, look identical if not better than even the photos on their website.  I can tell the nuts, and fruit are great quality by the taste of the nuts, and the still chewy, full of flavor dried fruit.

GourmetNuts are definitely Holiday Gift Guide material.  I would rather have these 8oz Packs in my stocking this Holiday too.  I think they are the perfect gift for the Health Conscious Nut lover. These can be bought in packs of 6. Check them out on http://www.gourmetnut.com/

@skoshbox Japanese Monthly Box #HolidayGiveaway + #Review #Spon #HolidayGiftGuide

SQUEEEE How cute are these Japanese Candies/Cookies!!? Enter below to win (1) Monthly Skoshbox & (1) Premium Skoshbox!  Each box is a surprise! 

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Disclaimer: Greenvics.com received product to facilitate a review. Giveaway is Sponsored, and Mailed directly from the Sponsor. Giveaway is open to U.S. Residents Only. 1 Winner is chosen at Random Via Rafflecopter, Giveaway begins 12:00AM Est 11/14, ends 12:00AM Est 11/28. Good luck! Est Prize Product Worth $37.00. Skoshbox Monthly Products varies each month.

My family likes a variety of candies, and snacks.  I think there are too many variations of chocolate, sweet, salty, sour, goodness in the world to just settle for a single Countries version of them. This is why I was excited to find skosh box offers a taste of japan at your doorstep.

There are the regular monthly box, and then there are the premium boxes.  The Monthly box costs only $12.00, and that INCLUDES Shipping.  Even to just try something new! Each box comes with a sheet telling you what product is what, and the ingredients as well.  It may sound weird, but I even enjoyed reading it.

The Premium Box ($25.00/Free Shipping) has a lot of full size products, along with novelty candies (The Super Mario Candy were Cola Gummies that tasted just like Cola, They were also soft, and fresh.) The Chocolate sticks, and Vanilla Dipped Wafers were some of my favorites as well.  My 3 year old is autistic, and usually picky with what interests him, but he was completely into this box, and wanting to try each, and every single snack.  I didn't get any of the Panda Chocolate/White Chocolate Cookies because he ATE THEM all himself.  Some of my favorites out of this box were also the sour blue mini drops.  The box with the Teddy bear had Chocolate cookies in it, and they were almost too good to eat.. yes, almost.  We ate them.  Something about Japanese chocolate that reminds me of German Chocolate, it melts so perfectly, tastes, and texture are some of my favorite.

November Monthly Box ($12.00/Free Shipping) had candy, stickers, chocolate, and cookies.  I liked the variety of this box as well.  My mini grabbed the Caramel Corn Snacks first, and they were delicious.  I did manage to grab a few to sample.  What I also like about these Candies/Snacks, most are made of Rice, and can be ate by Gluten Free individuals, Not everything in the boxes are GF, but that's another reason I like Japanese snacks, and candy, they use Rice Flour instead of regular Wheat in most recipes! So keep that in mind too if someone is on a certain diet, and you are looking for fun candy to surprise them with.

It's easy to Join, and Sign up for skoshbox.  To find out more about skoshbox, check them out online at, http://skoshbox.com/

Also, month to month it's $12.00 for the Regular Monthly box, or if you do a 6 month subscription it's only $11.00/box.  Even bigger savings if you buy it for a year, it equals to $10.00/Box. Also remember this includes SHIPPING.  

Overly impression, I enjoyed the chocolate, and uniqueness of all the candy, and snacks.  Honestly, I am a bigger fan of foreign chocolate than the regular chocolate that's at the impulse section at our grocery stores here in the states.  Just try something new! I love letting my son try things from different cultures, I never want to hear him say "Ew" to something, just because it isn't what is normally seen in the store.

@DreamTeamPets 30% Off #PromoCode #HolidayGiftGuide #Spon

This is a Sponsored Post. My son is always hugging, and sleeping with his stuffed animals, so Dream Team Pets will be a nice reward before Bed time, and I like that it helps create a positive way to maintain a healthy sleeping schedule with a Book, and stickers. 

Dream Team Pets is much more than a bedtime toy-it's an innovative kid's sleep aid that helps end the bedtime battles of trying to keep your child in bed. Developed with the help of a pediatrician, Dream Team Pets bedtime routine empowers kids as they reward their Pet with stickers and a certificate for a good night's sleep. If the child wakes up from a nightmare, there are no hard feelings because the responsibility is on their Pet, but when they successfully sleep in their own bed, the kids feel a sense of accomplishment as they reward their Dream Team Pet. What makes this unique is that the kids think they are training their Pet, but really they are sleep training themselves!

My Readers receive 30% Off Dream Team Pets with Promo Code: USFGUIDE

If you think The Amazing Dream Team Pets would make a great Holiday Gift for your little ones, or a little one you know, there is a 30% off Code for it! Use the code, USFGUIDE , while checking out on Amazon for the % Off. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_toys-and-games?ie=UTF8&field-brandtextbin=OIC+Toys%2C+LLC&node=165793011

@BestBuy Making #holidayprep Easier In The Kitchen! #Spon

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.

Being that there are a lot of members in my family, and we all love to eat. The holidays can be a tad bit hectic preparing meals.  We bake a lot of sweets too. The craziness usually starts in October  and Lasts til New Years. We are huge Apple, and Pumpkin Anything  Lovers. We prepare a lot of our own treats year round, but it feels once October comes, and the weather is chilly again baking is ideal.  I crave to smell the spices.

Best Buy has a ton of kitchen appliances that make the Holidays less time consuming when it comes to creating those family favorite holiday treats.

If you are looking for new appliances to upgrade your kitchen for the Holidays check out the new Frigidaire FGIF3061NF. The Frigidaire can boil water on its burners in less than 2 minutes. What I also found interesting about this oven is it's a convection oven which circulates the air in the oven for quicker baking time. The induction stove top makes clean up faster with any spills.

Now if you are shopping for a double oven that is the size of a standard range check out the Whirlpool WGG555S0BS, is ideal for smaller kitchens that just don't have the space for a larger Double Oven, This oven does the same thing.  It can cook two different things, at two different temperatures.

Let me first confess how I did not want to share any of these with my family after tasting Barts Cookies Gluten-Free White Chocolate Chip with Macadamia Nuts.  The cookies are Thiiiiiiick, and just these perfect round balls of moist, chocolate chip spheres. What I found refreshing about Barts Cookies is what you see is what you get.  The photos aren't photo shopped, the cookies really do taste/speak for themselves.

My hubby has been Gluten-Free for over a year.  It's a nice treat to find treats like Barts Gluten-Free Cookies that he can still have a cookie with the family.  I tricked my hubby.. I said "it's Gluten Free," he ate it.. and loved it.  I then said, "SUCKAAAH I lied, its not," and he freaked out thinking I had played a mean trick on him.  After I confessed, yes, it's GF, he didn't believe me and I had to show him the bag. Haha. Evil, vile, rotten wife. I just wanted to see if his opinion changed at all on the flavor.  He thought it was TOO good to be GF.

My son and I received Barts Cookies Milk Chocolate Chip.  They were moist, and jam packed with Chocolate chips.  I am a total snob when it comes to my sweets.  I like bakery quality treats.  I usually get Cannoli's, personal mini boston creme pies.  Hey.. If I'm going to splurge on a sugary treat, it better be worth the sugar, and the cinnamon pills I'll be taking later!  These cookies pass my sweet test. 

My 2 year old also enjoyed a couple of the cookies.  They are the perfect individual treat size too.  He called it a Cookie Ball.  These would be perfect for his Birthday in December!  

I also wanted to show you all how perfectly the bottom of the cookies are a light brown.  I can't stand my cookies being overly baked, and just hard as a rock with not moistness left, and these were right on in texture.

The best way I can think of to describe Barts Cookies are to, think of a cookie with 5 layers of cookies stacked ontop, but while still perfectly baked.
