Most Friday nights you can find me making a Papa Murphy’s pizza.  After a long week of working a full and part time job and planning meals I need something easy and we love Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N’ Bake Pizza!  Last Friday I tried Papa Murphy’s new Fresh Pan Pizza along with a salad and soda.IMG_2172 Here is the salad there was plenty for Joey, Rex and I.  I love all the fresh ingredients.

IMG_2173I called ahead and ordered the Perfect Fresh Pan Pizza. It was 1/2 Pepperoni and 1/2 Hawaiian. When I arrived at Papa Murphy’s my pizza was ready.  Everyone there is always so friendly and helpful. Since this was the first time I had the Fresh Pan Pizza the girl at the counter explained that there was a layer of butter on the bottom so make sure to bake it on an even rack.  She also explained that this pizza may get more bubbles and just pop them and check it after 10 minutes.

IMG_2174

She also said to take it out of the pan, put it on a cutting board and wait 5 minutes before cutting it for the best results.  Well I have to tell you we love the Fresh Pan Pizza and will be purchasing it again.  It smelled great well it baked and turned out just perfect! I love the buttery flavor.

IMG_2175

What I love most about our pizza’s from Papa Murphy is that you can customize it to what you like.  We often get the Cowboy Pizza but I don’t like black olives so we get half without.  I great that I can call in my order and it is ready when I get there; you can also order online.

If you are looking for a good Friday night meal or any night don’t forget to check out Papa Murphy’s. You will love all the fresh ingredients and the friendly people that work there! Don’t for get to try the new new Fresh Pan Pizza. Tonight is the Cowboy on the new Fresh Pan Pizza  crust for us!

Prejudice Meets Pride

Prejudice Meets Pride by Rachael Anderson

After years of pinching pennies and struggling to get through art school, Emma Makie’s hard work finally pays off in the form of a dream job offer. But when tragedy strikes, she has no choice but to turn down the job and make a cross-country move to Colorado Springs to take temporary custody of her two nieces. She has no money, no job prospects, and no idea how to be a mother to two little girls, but she isn’t about to let that stop her. Nor is she about to accept the help or of her handsome new neighbor, who seems to think she’s incapable of doing anything on her own.

Fun, heartwarming, and romantic, Prejudice Meets Pride is the story of a guy who thinks he has it all figured out and a girl who isn’t afraid to show him that he doesn’t. It’s about learning what it means to trust, figuring out how to give and to take, and realizing that not everyone gets to pick the person they fall in love with. Sometimes, love picks them.

rusticoI found some great products from Rustico. They provide high quality leather products that fit anyones lifestyle.  Rustico prides itself on using environmental friendly materials and having each product made in the USA. They make all their product to order.  Their craftsmen have years of experience and specialize in a fusion of old-world methods and simple, modern designs.IMG_2167

I received a couple different items from Rustico.  The first item is the Wine Log with a hand sewn spin.  I love the rustic look and it has a lot of room to record your wine.  Rustico also has log books for hunting, fishing, golf and a number other hobbies.

The second item was the Explorer Bag in charcoal grey. Here are a few of the features of this great bag:

-10″ x 13″ x 2″
– Exterior backside pouch
– Secured with a Flap closure
– Made from 5mm thick 100% Virgin Merino Wool
– Accented withtop-grain cowhide
– Strap has a 22″ drop meant for cross-body wearing
– Unique lace construction
I really like that it is made out of 5mm thick 100% Virgin Merino Wool.  It is strong and it is great to carry my kindle or iPad in while I am out and about.  It is strong and will hold a lot of items.
IMG_2177
The third item is the one that will get the most use and I love them – it is the two-tone color Coaster Set. Not only do they look great they are something that I will use every day.  They are made from top-grain cowhide.  I love the hand-sewn detail.  I can tell these are durable and will last us a long time.  They are practical and they look classy.  They are good for home, office, or vacation home.
The next time you are looking for some unique gifts for yourself, family or friends be sure to take a look at all the different products that Rustico Leather offers.  You will know that each pieces is durable, long lasting and unique.

rigoniWho doesn’t love Hazelnut and Chocolate?  I love them both and together they are wonderful!  I recently tried Nocciolata Organic Hazelnut Spread with Cocoa & Milk.  It was so good. It is a delicious chocolate spread, made of an organically farmed hazelnut paste (16%), and sweetened with organic cane sugar. Among the other ingredients stand sunflower oil, skim milk powder, and cocoa butter. The Rigoni di Asiago company goes back 100 years and was started by the Rigoni grandmother, Nonna Elisa, whose craftsmanship and love of nature so greatly influenced her family. Today it is run by her grandchildren.Nocciolata250_USAI loved eating the Nocciolata Organic Hazelnut Spread on toast in the morning. It reminded me of the few weeks I spent in Amsterdam ~ that is what everyone had for a mid morning snack.  I also enjoyed the  spread on some rice cakes in the afternoon.  What I really wanted to do was make some cookies using this spread instead of peanut butter – but Rex and Joey both liked it and ate it all before I had a chance to make cookies. I will have to get some more.

Not only is Nocciolata taste great but it is natural, certified organic,  and guaranteeing ingredients that are farmed without  polluting the environment. Only the finest ingredients are used such as Italian hazelnuts, cocoa and cocoa butter, cold pressed sunflower oil, vanilla, raw cane sugar and skimmed milk. There is also no trans fats, palm oil, artificial aromas, colors or flavors.  It is also gluten free.

The next time you are looking for a chocolate hazelnut treat make sure you reach for Nocciolata.  You can find it at many local stores like Whole Foods, Market of Choice and Woodmans.  You can also buy it HERE online and have it shipped right to your front door. Follow Rigoni di Asiago on Facebook to keep updated on what’s new.

In Portland Oregon we don’t really get much snow, but this year we had a weekend were we received 6+ inches of the white stuff.  It pretty much shut down the city and I worked from home a few days.  I was so glad I had these cute warm boots from Khombu.  The style is called Angel and they have a faux fur lining which is antibacterial, breathable, and fast drying.  The boots were very comfortable and warm.  They feature a comfort insole with Thermolite protection which helped keep my feet warm and they had good cushion.

Around the third day of the storm we had freezing rain and I was so happy with the non-slip outsole.  It had great traction and I was able to get outside with out the fear of falling down.  For a couple days we had snow and mud outside so these boots came in very handy.

I really liked how these boots kept my feet warm but were very light weight.  They were very comfortable.  I like how durable they are and will last me a long time. Here are a few highlights of Khombu Angel Boots:

  • Imported
  • Man-made upper
  • Round closed-toe booties with plush faux-fur lining
  • Shock-absorbing, non-slip bottom
  • Comfort insole with Thermolite
  • Antibacterial, breathable, fast-drying, insulated lining
  • Man-made sole

These boots would be great for the Midwest with all of their cold and snow. They are so stylish and nice looking you could wear them anywhere.

If you would like to get your own Khombu Angel Books you can find them at Zappos.com and many other places.  You can follow Khombu on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

orphan thiefThe Orphan and the Thief

An adventure that will keep you and your kids spellbound.

Toad thought it’d be easy to steal from Mr. Edward P. Owl. Unfortunately for Toad, he isn’t the best of thieves. Caught in the act, he’s in more trouble than ever before. Now to save his hide, Toad must track down five rare potion ingredients for Mr. Owl. Or else.All Melena Snead wants is her family back, but after the Miggens Street Fire, that isn’t very likely. Orphaned and miserable, forced to work in an apothecary, she’s determined to find Milo, her missing brother. No matter what.

When Melena finds Toad ransacking her apothecary, Toad gets a nasty shock: apothecaries don’t carry Mr. Owl’s ingredients. Luckily, Melena’s willing to help, for a price.

With Melena’s pet Spit-Fire dragon and Toad’s enchanted talking beer mug, they embark on a fantastical journey, traveling the country in search of the potion ingredients. But can they gather all of them in time, what with monsters, pirates, and axe-wielding thieves? And if they do, is there an even greater danger waiting for them at the end?

Amazon

Excerpt:

Panicking, Toad rushed, “Come on, Gent. There’s gotta be somethin’ that ya want! My prices are reasonable!”

“The price is your life,” Mr. Owl stated, gently placing the dragon statue upon the desk.

Mr. Ogg stopped again, his ham-sized hands falling back to his sides. Toad fell silent, too stunned to dare hope that he wasn’t about to be killed.

“Let me explain how this will work, Mr. Toad. If tonight was like any other night I would happily see your neck snapped and toss you out like the bit of filth that you are.” He gave a heavy sigh. “However, the Hickory Guard have become annoyingly tedious ever since that upstart became Captain.”

“Ya mean Dowell?” asked Toad.

“The man has become so inflated with self importance that he’s actually having me followed. Can you imagine? Me?”

“That’s … awful?” said Toad awkwardly, unsure how to respond.

“So, you will forgive me for not wanting to waste Mr. Ogg’s talents on you with so little preplanning.” He gave the window a casual glance. “I’m sure a guard is stationed outside somewhere and disposing of your body without detection will be troublesome to say the least.”

“Pardon me, sir,” Mr. Ogg interrupted, “but it would be no trouble.”

“Ah, Mr. Ogg! How I like you!” Mr. Owl cheered. “Always ready to break a neck. Good fellow!”

“We can stash him in one of the upstairs rooms,” Mr. Ogg continued in his deep, ocean floor voice. “I’ll make sure he won’t bleed.”

“But a body, even in such a large house, will be difficult to hide if Dowell decides to search the place, as he has been hinting at for the last fortnight. No, no, my man. We cannot afford the risk of housing him here.”

Toad sat still in his chair. It wasn’t every day that his own murder was discussed in such a light, conversational manner.

header-bttmI love trying new products and I have been using Booda Butter from Booda Organics.  It is a great 100% pure daily moisturizer.  It crafted by hand in small batches and made with  care. It  contains Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Olive Oil.  It smells great!  Booda Organics uses only the highest quality, organic and vegan ingredients.  It never contains any harmful toxins or pollutants. I love using it when I get out of the shower.  My skin just soaks it up.IMG_2089 It comes in both a tin so you can use it all over and a tube so you can easily apply to your lips. I have mine handy all the time in my purse.

I love how versatility the butter is.  You can use it on your skin, hair, lips and more. In  fact they have a list of 5o different ways to use Booda Butter that you can read HERE. I like to use it out of the shower and also to shave my legs. It also helps my lips feel soft and smooth ~ good bye chapped lips!

Booda Organics grew from their own personal desire to only use pure body care products that we could trust for their selves and loved ones. Discovering that truly unadulterated products are very difficult to find, they decided to just make our own… So after a little lovin’ in the kitchen, BOODA BUTTER moisturizer was first born!

I think you will like the feel and smell of Booda Butter as much as I do. You can order it HERE.  You can also find it in many local stores like New Seasons and Zupans Market.  You can stay connected with Booda Organics on Facebook.

About the book: Book 1 in the new Amish Roads series

Elizabeth is at a crossroad. She’s been given the chance to experience life outside of her community, away from the responsibility to care for her eight younger siblings, but Elizabeth Bontrager can’t decide which road to take. Goshen has its charms and pressures, but Paradise, Pennsylvania, sounds . . . well, like paradise. And it’s also home to her Englisch friend, Paula. Decision made. Elizabeth is Paradise bound.

But will the small town live up to its name? When Elizabeth meets Paula’s friend, Bruce, she quickly learns he wants more than a friendship. And the same might be true of Saul Miller, her new boss at the country story that sells Amish products to the Englisch community. As the two compete for her attention, Elizabeth is surprised to realize she misses her family and becomes even more uncertain about where she belongs. She has a choice to make: return home or embrace this new life and possibly a new love?
