Having a 13 year old, it is hard to find great ideas for him as far as "stocking stuffer" gifts.   I have been trying to get my game plan together and when I was sent the Old Trapper Beef Jerky for review, I knew I had found one of the things going in there!   I didn't think much about it, as I wanted to try the beef jerky for me... Just being honest!   FTC Compliant Review Policy:    The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

Headed to the game and not much time to pack lunch?  Just grab some beef jerky!   Or after a game and not wanting to fight the crowd of everyone and their brother trying to grab a bite to eat on the way home?  Yep, beef jerky!   I have actually caught myself grabbing it for a snack on work days and...

Who doesn't love snacks? We sure do! The kids and I love them, but also my work family.  From time to time, we have treats that are left in our breakroom.  Other times, we have each other bring treats for us to enjoy.  Well, recently we got to have a TAILGATING Party to celebrate getting ready for Football Season!  I was able to bring lots of Veroni treats for everyone to enjoy!   FTC Compliant Review Policy:    The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

I know I can't be the only one that enjoys the convenience and ease of pulling through a drive -thru and grabbing dinner from time to time.  If I am the only one, I am shocked.. but I am going to guess I am not alone.  I was recently contacted to check out Bojangles and I was pretty excited.  We love trying new places and I have driven by Bojangles on numerous occasions... but the thing about it was that no one ever talks about it, so I guessed it wasn't that good.  You know? If people would talk about it, I would want to check it out!  Once I was invited to check it out, I was all about it.  Why turn down an opportunity to learn of something new? I told Marc I was getting dinner and the...

Hang on to your hats, guys and gals!!!! I have a product to tell you about!  I recently heard of a drink that I was eager to tell you about... Luckily I was able to review it so get ready to say, " I need to run to the store!" Cordina is a company based out of New Orleans.  Yep, I know I have your attention now!   They are in the business of making frozen drinks!  Think of a "Juice Box" for adults. Cordina is the name, bigeasyblends.com is their site. They have Mar-Go-Rita's, Pina-Go-Lata, Daiq-Go-Ri and Choc-Go-Late flavors sure to make your taste buds fall in love. Each of the pouches have a 6% alcohol base and are in easy to carry pouches.  Let me point out a few things I like about these.  One - they have screw top lids.  That way, if you want to drink some now and save some for later... (I know, you might not want to, but it would be nice to share)  you can do it with no mess.  Two - they have great flavors....
