Get Out of the Kitchen and INTO the family! Review

I have made no secret on the fact that I do not really cook.
Not that I don't know how to, but I really do not try new things.
As I have mentioned before, it is the fear of the unknown that stops me, nothing else.

When I start looking at a recipe to cook, all the ingredients seem to overwhelm me and I get a bit flustered!
I would HATE to go and buy all those things...
Cook and everything...
Just to find out that one of those million ingredients doesn't taste great to me.
I know, it is a dumb reason, but I am being honest!
Think about it, I just mixed ALL those ingredients, but I have no clue which one I don't like.

HA!
Imagine my delight when I saw an email asking if I was interested in reviewing a new cookbook that would help me out!
I know Marc was excited...
Let me tell you why.

Do you see now?
Of course I jumped at the chance to try it out!

Let me just tell you..
This book has you covered!
From those like me on to those that already know and love to cook, but just want something fast and easy!

I love it!
Why?
Because this book breaks it down.

First of all, the foods:
Breakfast,
Appetizers,
Sauces & Salsas,
Light Lunches,
Sides - Salads & Dressings, Potatoes & Rice, Vegetables
Mains - Beef, Chicken & Turkey, Fish & Shellfish, Lamb, Pasta, Pork, Vegetarian
Desserts - Cakes & Cookies, Pies & Pastries, Ice Cream Mousses & Fondues, Fruit & Candy

So, are you hungry yet?
If not, you will be soon...
I want to share just a couple of the items that I want to cook for Marc now...
Breakfast - Praline Toast.. Hey, he's from New Orleans, he loves Pralines!
Appetizer- Crab Dip & Smoked Salmon Dip... (Okay, these are totally for me!)
Dessert - Key Lime Pie ... Marc would live off of that if I let him!
Now, they have tons of delicious and easy sounding meals, but I just wanted to point out that the breakfast is far from just eggs and the dips are not just cheese!

Besides the cookbook part, I am in love with the back of the book.
There is a section that talks about foods perfect for preparing a lunch for school (or work!)
It even breaks it down into Fruits/Veggies, Dairy, Protein, and Sandwiches!

Next up... Drinks!
From Juices to Punch, this section will surely make great drinks for any party, as well as a random Tuesday!

I think the best might just be the section that does the combination meals.
Not only do you get a cookbook with so many items, but this also pairs it up..
As in Roast beef, Horseradish cream, seasoned roast vegetables, hearty homemade bread!
Talk about dining out... IN!

The last part?
Just a few household tips that are helpful for all of us!

I think that this would be a great gift...
Mothers Day, Graduation, First Time Moms...
Or just because!
What a great addition to your kitchen!

And guess what? They even have "an app for that!"
Check out the 4 Ingredients Website!

    You have me hooked! I have the 10 ingredient cookbook, the 7 ingredient cookbook. You'd think I could figure out 4 ingredients by myself, but I'm even happier if someone else will figure it out for me. Thanks for the tip.

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on...
