Publix Buy One Get One Free

 

I swear I am at the store every day. No lie!  Every. Single. Day.  I make a list, try to remember to bring the list (I don’t always remember it), make sure I have everything on the list, you know, the list that I may have remembered to bring with me this time, before I check out, go home and then realize that I forgot to put items that we needed on the list and back I go!

Chili Vinaigrette Recipe – Use Colman’s Dry Mustard To Add Spice To Your Salad

Food and Drink, , , ,

Summer is here!
Summer made a swift entrance into town a couple of days ago already hitting 90+ degrees outside. It’s hot and I don’t feel like eating when it is hot out. I know, I know, I have to eat. I just don’t feel like it. I usually eat lots and lots of salad in summer. But salad gets boring. A couple of months ago I started making my own salad dressing. I have come across some great recipes for salad dressing. It has been fun experimenting with different kinds of dressings. Then I came across a recipe using Colman’s dry mustard powder. I never would have thought of using dry mustard as an ingredient!

Colman’s dry mustard powder has less than 15 calories and only 0.8 grams of fat per teaspoon. They have some great recipes on their website. Here’s one that I tried out and I absolutely love!

Colman's Mustard Powder

Colman’s Chili Vinaigrette Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 4 tbs. olive oil
  • 1 tbs. white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp. Colman’s Original Powdered Mustard
  • 4 “splashes” mild green Tabasco sauce
  • ½ cup lemon juice
  • 2 tsp. honey

Instructions:

  • Mix all ingredients together.  That’s it!

I had all the ingredients on hand so it was easy to whip it together fast. I put just enough on my salad to barely coat the lettuce and it was great!

The Chili Vinaigrette had just the right amount of sweet and spicy for me.

Now that I know about Colman’s Dry Mustard I am going to check out their website more often and find even more recipes to try.

You can find more information about Colman’s on their website, facebook page and on twitter.

I am always looking for  great internet security for our PC’s.  Working from home and on a computer all day I need to make sure that I am protected from everything. I found VIPRE Internet Security the other day, downloaded it. It only took me about 5 minutes to get it up and running and and so far its great!!

I have used so many other internet security software programs and by far VIPRE Internet Security is my favorite one. It is really easy to use and it doesn’t slow me down when it is running updates and scans.  Some other programs I have used makes my PC really slow when it would run updates and scans.

VIPRE Internet Security is the award-winning antivirus software that includes a firewall, a spam filter and website blocking into one powerful solution for complete protection against malware. It is packed with sophisticated security features that protect against viruses and other malware threats and it does it without slowing down my PC. I don’t even notice it’s running, even during scans and updates! As of right now VIPRE Internet Security the only antivirus solution to include automatic software patching with the Easy Update feature. Plus, VIPRE also comes with free U.S. based technical support! How great is that?

Did you know…

Out of date software like Windows, Java, Adobe, Skype, iTunes  are the most common cause of PC infections?  VIPRE is the only antivirus to automatically patch these security holes!  Amazing right?

If you are looking for a easy to use, affordable, all in one program I really think that you would like VIPRE Internet Security.  You can find more information at www.vipreantivirus.com

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Breastfeeding, ,

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Comfort and Harmony. All opinions are 100% mine.

When I was going to have our first baby I was very overwhelmed with all the options out there.  But one thing that I wish that I would have had that I didn’t have was a mombo nursing pillow.  I didn’t nurse for very long but what I have learned is that a nursing pillow is not just for nursing!  You can use the mombo nursing pillow for tummy time too!

The mombo™ products can be found at Toys R Us and Babies R Us. Look at this one that I found on the Toys R Us website!.  Isn’t it cute?

This one is the Comfort & Harmony Mombo Deluxe Nursing Pillow & Infant Positioner – Loin King.

Mombo has a unique shape and a two-sided design called Firm2Soft™. Each side offers a different experience. The firm side gives essential support for you and your nursing baby. The soft side is extra cozy for an inviting place for lounging or tummy time. Did you know that mombo is the only nursing pillow with a vibration feature? Mombo will give baby the ultimate soothing experience while lounging. Mombo has an assortment of pillow styles and slipcover fashions. Select the style you like, from Standard, Deluxe or Nude™. And then choose multiple slipcover fashions, you can have a different one for every day of the week!

I have a couple of baby showers in the next few months.  I know what I am going to be getting for the mommies to be!

For more information on the mombo nursing pillow you can check out Comfort & Harmony on Facebook and Comfort & Harmony on Twitter.
