Tropicana Juicy Rewards Insider
When my family drinks juice, we avoid anything with artificial flavoring or excessive amounts of sugar. It is important to us that the juice we drink is made up of actual fruit juice (we’re funny that way) so most of the time we end up choosing Tropicana. We’ve been fighting colds off and on for the past several weeks so Tropicana has had prime real estate in our fridge. There’s just nothing that makes you feel better when you have a sore throat than a big glass of orange juice. Tropicana has a new rewards system that I’m really excited about, not just because I’m a Juicy Insider and they gave me a gift card to redeem towards rewards. I love getting a deal on anything, especially things like family entertainment that we usually avoid without a coupon. The Tropicana Juicy Rewards program gives you a chance to redeem rewards points (that come with each carton of Tropicana and are worth up to $15 in savings) towards things like discounts on entertainment, discounts in local stores, and more.
Poached Eggs in Tomato Sauce
Eggs poached in tomato sauce is one of those really delicious dishes that you can tell came about at some point because someone was both creative and faced with leftovers that needed using up. However it originally came about, it’s a delicious combination that makes for a super easy meal any time of day that tastes like way more work than it was. I am a particularly big fan of having this for breakfast on weekend mornings or dinner when I get home from work and don’t really want to cook. The proportions I use here are rough and would feed either one very hungry person or two average people with an extra couple hunks of bread. If you want to scale it up you can bake the eggs in a casserole dish with the sauce rather than cooking it on the stove–the end result is just about the same and all methods yield scrumptious results.
Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes
About a month ago, I bought a wheat grinder. I felt like I was saving money by buying one because I could get wheat kernels from my church cannery for a lot cheaper price than at the store. I also don’t have to pay a lot of money for prepackaged mixes. Whole Wheat ones seem to cost at least twice as much. Now I have a ton of whole wheat flour and I am looking for what to do with it. I decided to make pancakes since my family really likes those. We even have them for dinner sometimes.
Hungry Monkey Book Review (Giveaway)
Amster-Burton and his wife were already foodies (and very big fans of cheese) when Iris joined their family. Upon learning of her impending arrival he describes his first thought as “Are we going to have to eat fifties rejects like sloppy joes for the next eighteen years? Or feed our kid food we’d never eat ourselves?” He read books on feeding babies and toddlers and wasn’t terribly impressed with much of the information he found, so he eventually decided to write his own and Hungry Monkey was born. He states at the end of the introduction that this effort is “the book I wish someone had handed me before Iris was born so that I would have known that breastfeeding is challenging (even for dads), that there are two simple rules to take a lot of the stress out of feeding kids, and that it’s okay to feed a baby sushi and spicy enchiladas. Most important, I would have been reassured that having kids doesn’t require dumbing down your own menu: if you love to eat, a new baby presents an opportunity to have more fun with food than ever before in your life. And yes, more frustration.”
Baked Kale Chips
his method of cooking kale is my new favorite. Kale chips made by baking the leaves with a little olive oil and salt results in an almost potato-chip like treat that is genuinely good for you. You can season them with whatever spices you like or keep them simple and plain. There is no easier way to eat green leafy vegetables, or at least no way more genuinely enjoyable (and that’s coming from a true salad lover). Make a batch of these today and you’ll probably make three more before the end of the weekend. Even my dog begs for these chips, and I’m pretty sure I could convince my dad to try one too. These more than make up for the minimal effort involved in making them.

#WAHMW Twitter Party – Can you Make Money Selling with Party Plans?
Stay at home moms are always looking for ways to earn some extra money and I don’t know too many who haven’t at least considered selling with a party plan. I had mild success for a while selling Pampered Chef but quickly realized I didn’t know how to be really successful without irritating my friends, and I was not willing to do that. This week for the Work at Home Mom Wednesday Twitter Party (#WAHMW) we’re talking about “Can you Make Money Selling with Party Plans?”. We’ll talk with three work at home moms who have made party sales work for them.
How Does Fear Change the Way You Parent?
Parenting is scary business. Any first time mom holding a fragile newborn will tell you that fear is at the top of her list of emotions. My list of fears could fill a book and range from the normal (I’m afraid of losing another child) to the obscure (I’m afraid my children will sneak out of the house in the middle of the night while I’m sleeping). My fears affect nearly everything I do and I worry, that they are starting to affect the things my children do.
Learn Top Techniques for Straightening Your Hair
I think that the one thing that most women have in common is that they wish they had different hair. Girls with straight hair want curls, girls with curls want stick straight hair, thick versus thin, wavy or frizzy – we all want what we can’t seem to naturally produce. I fall into the way too thin, frizzy, curly hair category. Believe me, without any type of hair products or appliances, I look like the bride of Frankenstein. Not such hot look. Which is why ever since I learned what a flat iron could do for a girl like me, I was sold.
