Top 100 Pasta Dishes - Review


WHEN I cook, I look for easy and something that I think Broxton will like.
Don't get me wrong, he isn't picky...
It is just that somethings seem more appealing to him than others!

So, when I heard about the latest book from Annable Karmel, I was all over it!
Top 100 Pasta Dishes : Easy Everyday Recipes That Children Will Love!
Hello?!
Did you read that?
Top 100
Pasta
Easy
Children Will Love

That is right up my alley!!!
I got it in for review and I tell ya what, just looking through all the pages, you just want to eat the book!
Right then and there!
The pictures of the food are just so delicious looking!

Chicken and butternut squash pasta risotto!
Truthfully, I have never eaten Rissoto, but watch enough Hell's Kitchen and I want to try it, that is for sure!

What main thing do I really love about the book?
At the top of each recipe page:
Suitable for: with the appropriate age for the little ones
Makes : number of portions
Preparation Time : Cooking Time:
Suitable For Freezing : Yes or No

Isn't that just going a little bit further than most cook books?
It is compared to the ones I have looked at!!!


The book is broken down into several sections:
Baby
Toddler
Poultry and Pasta
Meaty Menus
Favorite Fish
Yummy Veggies

We have not cooked anything from it yet...
But you better believe we will!
They do look super easy and sound so delicious!!

I would recommend this for anyone with kids, as well as grandparents!!!
Talk about a great baby shower gift!
(Or a great gift for a first time grandparent!!!)

    While I am not a bif fan of pasta, my kids love it. It would be good to try some new pasta recipes. I love that the recipes are targeted for kids

    I like this book so far.. I like lots of pictures and the age of what they suggest would be easy for the little ones to follow the recipes
    Thank You for the review!

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...

Hurry Up! Review & Giveaway

The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
