Turkey Burgers

June 4, 2012 Leave a Comment

turkeyburger

This week I’m sharing some lean grilling tips.  One super easy way to go lean is with turkey burgers. I recently bought box of Jennie-O Turkey Burgers.  These are found in your grocer’s freezer. They come pre-patted and pre-flavored, and they only take 7 to 9 minutes to cook on each side.  Excellent!

And if you’re like me and can’t stand the heat, these are terrific on the George Foreman Grill!

Honey Bunches of Oats Review

June 1, 2012 Leave a Comment

I’ve also been a big cereal eater!  And I have to admit, I often get made fun of for liking “kid cereals.”  But I recently got a chance to try Honey Bunches of Oats, and I was very impressed with this cereal.  And it’s a cereal that tastes sweet enough to be liked by kids of all ages, yet still very healthy.

Honey Bunches of Oats has 10 grams of Whole Grain and just 6 grams of sugar per serving.  And it has 0 grams of trans fat, saturated fat, and 0 milligrams of cholesterol.

This is actually my first time to try this cereal. And I love the taste! I never realized it has a mixture of wheat, oat, rice and corn flakes.  This alone would make it a great, but then they had granola bunches to the mix, and the result is something very sweet and tasty.

I’m planning on recommending this cereal to my dad. He loves corn and rice cereals, and he also likes granola bars, so I believe he will love it.  If you like both of these, chances are you will love it to.

And by the way, there are so many varieties of Honey Bunches of Oats.  These include Honey Roasted, Almonds, Strawberry, Raisin Medley, Vanilla Bunches, Pecan Bunches, Cinnamon Bunches, and Just Bunches Honey Roasted.  And their new Fruit Blends include Banana Blueberry and Peach Raspberry.

Connect: Follow Honey Bunches of Oats on Facebook, and pick up some coupons for the cereal.

Who doesn’t love monogrammed items?  I had the chance to choose something from Miss Lucy Monograms, which offers avariety of items for babies, kids, and adults.  From their selection I chose this Houndstooth backpack:

This is a really great great.  It’s made of good, sturdy material, and the size is 11W X 13H X 6D, which makes it perfect to carry as a purse, work bag, or diaper bag.  Or you could possibly use this to carry to a class or conference.

Backpack purses are convenient, because they free up your hands.  And this one has plenty of compartments and enclosures for all your stuff.  And of course, it’s houndstooth is very popular right now. (Of course,  if you live in the great state of Alabama like me, houndstooth is always in style!)

Miss Lucy Monograms has so many other items you can choose from as well. Their baby items include bibs, burpies, blankets, and cups.  And they also have tumbler cups for adults, as well as keychains, aprons, and items for the home.  They have a variety of bright colors and patterns to fit your unique style, as well as a variety of fonts for your initials or name.

Shopping Your Way: Become.com

May 26, 2012 1 Comment

When I shop for anything, my top priority is to get a good deal and find a good value for my money.  Become.com is a price comparison site that lets you search for the best deals on the items you want.  And you can shop for anything from computers and electronics to home decor and health and beauty products.

So for example, if you wanted to find a square tablecloths 54 x 54 for this weekend’s Memorial Day Barbecue, you will find a vast selection pulled from a variety of retailers. And on this particular search you’d see something to fit any style and budget, including selections from Saks.com to Overstock.com.

This is also a great way to shop for your home improvement items.  Upon moving in to our home, a lot of home improvement work was done, including lighting and electrician work,and we also just replaced the plugs in our bathrooms. Upon searching for supplies like the siemens energy g4040b1200 200a 40/40 main and the 20 amp duplex outlet, I found results from Lowe’s, Grainger, Overstock,and Amazon, and I found some great deals.

And Become.com also has a product research engine where you can look for advice on the products before you buy.  This includes buying guides as well as product reviews. Go over and see what kind of deals you can find!
