Ore-Ida Steam n’ Mash Potatoes Review & Giveaway
March 9, 2010 · 28 Comments
We love Ore-Ida products and this isn’t the first time we’ve eaten them and been happy with the outcome. I love that Ore-Ida uses 100 percent real potatoes that are already scrubbed, peeled, chopped, and ready to steam and mash. I love the taste of Ore-Ida products and you’ll frequently find their products in our freezer at home. Something I learned from Ore-Ida and the research they have conducted is that 65% of consumers say they would eat potatoes more often if they didn’t have to wash, peel, and chop them. I recently reviewed the Ore-Ida Steam n’ Mash Potatoes... [Read the full story]

How to Clean Oil Off a Stainless Steel Pan
March 3, 2010 · 7 Comments
We recently made pancakes using our Stainless Steel Pans. Before pouring the pancake mix on the pan, we sprayed it with oil. The oil, unfortunately, left behind a sticky and yucky residue. I tried soaking it, but no luck. My husband had the idea to use Bar Keeper’s Friend. See what happened! AKPC_IDS += "5907,";Popularity: 1% [?] Read More →

Cooking With The Mommy-Files: Lemon Pepper Salmon
March 3, 2010 · 6 Comments
Last night, I made yummy Coho Salmon! We have neighbors that own a fishing company and we bought some salmon from them and their last trip. It was a pound of Coho Salmon and was really good! I can’t believe how simple and yummy it was! Even my boys loved it. I kind of wish we had made more, because I love to eat salmon the day after (right from the fridge). The salmon was eaten up before I remembered to take a picture of it, so I don’t have a picture to go along with it. Perhaps I’ll add one when we make it again in the future! I sprinkled Lemon-Pepper Seasoning on the... [Read the full story]

Planning on Handing Out Swag Bags at BlogHer? Think Again
January 12, 2010 · 5 Comments
I was reading through Frequently Asked Questions on the BlogHer Site today. I had planned on working with some companies and another blogger on putting together Swag Bags to hand out at this year’s BlogHer in New York City in August. However, after reading through some material on their site, it looks like we won’t be working to fill up those Swag Bags to hand out this year. Here is a direct quote from the site: “Q. Can I pass out materials at the event? A. One of the most widespread complaints we received about BlogHer ’09 was that sponsored bloggers were distributing unwanted... [Read the full story]

“Scarecrow and Mrs. King: The Complete First Season” DVD Review
March 10, 2010 · Leave a Comment
We love watching tv shows from the 80s on DVD! I found a new favorite one to watch in our house and it’s called “Scarecrow and Mrs. King: The Complete First Season.” I love this show! It’s funny and full of action – a winning combination to watch. The show stars Bruce Boxleitner (Babylon 5) and Kate Jackson (Charlie’s Angels) as Scarecrow and Mrs. King. Amanda King is a single mom living in the suburbs of Washington DC until one day, she runs into a handsome stranger, agent Lee Stetson (aka Scarecrow) who shoves a package into her hands, giving her instructions...
