Chicken Cordon Bleu in a Garlic Bread Bowl and Giveaway

Apr 302014

I recently received this Bake-A-Bowl from Sweet Creations and I can’t tell you what fun I had using it. It is so easy to use and you can make either sweet or savory bowls. I have a list of different recipes I want to try.

I have an hour from the time I get home from work and Rex leaves for work so I am always looking for a fast and easy meal. I decided to make Chicken Cordon Bleu in a Garlic Bread Bowl.

The first thing I did was using a pre-made pie crust. I cut it into round circles and placed it into the pan. Then I took some garlic butter and brushed it over the crust. Then placed the second pan over the crust. This helps prevent the crust from raising too much when you bake it. It also helps make that cute bowl shape.

While these bake for about 10 minutes I worked on my filling. I first melted some butter and olive oil in a pan. I added garlic, onions and mushrooms. I browned them until the were soft. Then add some left over chicken from the weekend. I also added some ham we had from Easter cut up into chunks. When heated through I added about 1/2 a jar of alfredo sauce. When everything was heated through I filled the bowls. Topped them with some Parmesan cheese and scallions.

Doesn’t that look good? I think next I am going to use the same bowls but fill it like a Chicken Club – using chicken, tomato, bacon bits, shredded cheese mixed with ranch dressing. Place some shredded lettuce in the bowl and then top with the chicken mixture.

Clayspray Review

Apr 302014

I found a new line of beauty products that I really like. They are very different than others I have tried. Clayspray – the world’s first clay emulsion in a spray. I tried two different products from Clayspray. The first one H2O spray Comfort Natural Spring Water with green Tea. This one is used to tone and sooth the skin. I really liked the spray. It was very refreshing and gentle. It was very easy to use I just sprayed a light amount on my face. The smaller droplet size creates a skin microenvironment that protects the skin. The Green Tea is rich in polyphenols that fight free radicals that cause skin damage. I used it in the morning but I also used it after I used a clay masque as it is a calming toner that will improve skin texture and relieve tightness after peelings and facials.

Clayspray has five different masks, each one addressing a specific skin care concern; from Pore Refining, Skin Brightening and Glow to Toning and Mattifying. The one I used was the Pore Refining White Clay Masque. I really liked this masque it exfoliates, removes impurities and environmental toxins. It helps refine pores and make my face look smooth. It helps nourish my skin adding minerals to help prevent aging. These minerals include silica to boost collagen, calcium to promote healthy cell regeneration, and potassium to help lock in moisture and accelerate cell turnover without affecting the skins moisture levels for an overall anti-aging effect.

I liked how the clay masque came out of the container. Its unique spray format offers a no mess application. It also helps prevent the clay from drying out as it would in a jar.

The Clayspray Masque was easy to use too.

1. Spray or moisten skin with natural mineral water.

2. Dispense product into your hand and massage into the area to be treated. Avoid contact with eyes.

3. Leave on until dry.

4. Wash skin with water until clay is removed

The clay easily came off when I washed my face. Then I finished up with the H2Ospray and I was done. I really liked that my skin was not all dried out and that it looked smooth and clear. You can purchase your own Clayspray Products HERE. Stay connected on Facebook.

Lost and Found by Karey White

Lydia was supposed to have an adventurous and exciting summer. Instead she’s done nothing more than read and eat takeout. Now it’s time to go home, and what does she have to show for it? A big fat nothing. Unless, of course, her trip to the airport somehow turns into something more than just a flight home.

Blake feels like he’s been sent on a wild goose chase. While work is piling up back in Denver, he’s on the other side of the country, hunting for some mysterious box that his grandfather left him. Well, no more. Nothing inside that box could possibly be more important than the opportunity to make it as the youngest partner at his firm. So he’s going home, and that’s that. But that’s before he discovers his flight has been cancelled.

When these two strangers meet at the airport, they make a split-second decision to search for the box together. Maybe with both of them on the hunt, Lydia can have her adventure and Blake can find the box. And maybe, if they’re lucky, they’ll even find some romance.

Excerpt:

Blake and Lydia stayed in their seats as the area around them cleared and a line formed. Finally, Blake stood, picked up his duffel bag and briefcase, then waited while Lydia gathered her things. They took a spot at the back of the line. After a minute, Lydia spoke.

“Since you have to change your flight anyway, maybe you should stay another day or two and try to find the box.”

The corner of Blake’s mouth twitched. “Maybe you should stay a couple of days and have an adventure.”

“Touché. I guess if the plane had gone down, I’d have had an adventure to tell about. Or not tell about.”

The line moved slowly. “You know,” Blake said. “Maybe your adventure could be staying and helping me find my grandfather’s box.”

Lydia nearly choked on her last bite of brownie. Was he joking? They didn’t even know each other.

“I have to be back for teacher’s meetings. And I need to get my classroom ready for school to start. The desks are all stacked up in a corner of the room and I need to get them set up and organized and I’ve got to put up a couple of bulletin boards. And I have to get papers for the parents copied for back to school night and…” Blake’s smile widened as she spoke. “And I’m babbling, aren’t I?”

“Yeah. Don’t worry about it. I should get back to the office anyway. It was a crazy idea.”

“Yeah,” Lydia said, relieved. A few minutes passed, and they neared the front of the line. A voice in Lydia’s head wouldn’t be quiet. You’re a coward. You don’t really want an adventure. You’re all talk. You could kill two birds with one stone. Have an adventure and help this guy find the box from his grandfather. But you’re too big of a wimp. She wanted to tell the voice to mind its own business, but it wouldn’t shut up. Chicken. Scaredy cat. But this wasn’t about adventure. This was about good, common sense, right? It wouldn’t be smart to stay with this man she didn’t know. And yet her instincts told her this guy was safe, that she didn’t need to fear his intentions.

It seemed the only way to stop the nag in her head was to speak. “It wasn’t a crazy idea. It was an adventurous idea. And I came here for adventure. I need something to tell Cambri when I get home, right? And you need to find that box or you’ll miss out on something important. And I don’t technically have to be back until Wednesday morning, so…”

“Really? Are you just talking a big game?” Blake teased.

“You’re not a psychopathic killer, are you?”

“No. But I certainly wouldn’t tell you if I was.”

“That’s true. That would really up the whole adventure factor, though.”

“See, you’re braver than you thought.”

My Review:

I am really enjoying “The Ripple Effect Romance Novella Series”. This week I read Lost & Found. Lydia had gone on vacation and was planning to have the time of her life. She was going to be adventurous and have fun! Well Lydia was a bit shy and ended up spending most of her time reading and ordering Chinese. What was she going to tell her friend? Things took a turn at the airport when Lydia’s flight gets canceled and she meets Blake. Blake and Lydia decide to spend the next couple days together hunting down a box that Blake’s grandpa had left for him. While searching Blake plans a few fun exciting things to do including skydiving! Blake and Lydia do find the box grandpa had left for him. What was in it that was so important? You will want to read Lost & Found to find out.

250 Best Meals in a Mug with Recipes

Uncategorized No Responses »

Apr 292014

I have always loved cookbooks. I know it might seem strange but I go through them page by page. I recently found a new company to me that has a lot of great cookbooks ~ it is Robert Rose. They have some fabulous books. This first one I received is 250 Best Meals in a Mug and it has given me a ton of new ideas. I really like the small portions these recipes make they are perfect for lunch at work or if you are dining solo. They are also fast and made from many ingredients you would have on hand. The meals are created from scratch and can be made in just 2 minutes. The recipes include breakfast, soups, sides, lunches, dinners and even dessert. I like the idea of making one serving of Chocolate Cream Pie than have a whole pie sitting in the kitchen waiting for me to eat!

The cookbook starts with Microwave Know-How, Mug Smarts, The Mug Meals Pantry and Measuring Ingredients. Then it has a chapter on Super-Fast, Cheap and Easy Recipes with 4 ingredients (or less). From there it goes into more recipes but all are very easy to follow and there are lots of tips through out the book.

Here are a couple recipes I really enjoyed and want to share with you. They are courtesy of 250 Best Meals in a Mug by Camilla V. Saulsbury © 2014 www.robertrose.ca Reprinted with publisher permission.

French Toast, page 85, Breakfast

I’m a firm believer that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, not just for the usual reasons, but also simply because the offerings − from bacon to cheesy eggs to cinnamon rolls − are so scrumptious. French toast proves my point. With the help of a mug and the microwave, it’s now an any-day option, even on the busiest mornings. Don’t forget the syrup!

16-oz (500 mL) mug

1 tbsp granulated sugar 15 mL

1⁄8 tsp salt 0.5 mL

1⁄8 tsp ground cinnamon 0.5 mL

1 large egg 1

1⁄2 cup milk 125 mL

1⁄4 tsp vanilla extract (optional) 1 mL

11⁄4 cups bread cubes (preferably stale) or small plain croutons 300 mL

Suggested Accompaniments

Confectioners’ (icing) sugar; pure maple syrup; butter

In the mug, use a fork to whisk sugar, salt, cinnamon, egg, milk and vanilla (if using) until very well blended. Add bread cubes, stirring and pressing them down into the custard to absorb the liquid. Let stand for at least 15 minutes (so the bread absorbs the liquid). Press bread down with a fork to compact.

Microwave on High for 11⁄2 to 21⁄2 minutes (checking at 11⁄2) or until firm to the touch and liquid is absorbed. Serve with any of the suggested accompaniments, as desired.

Variations

Orange Marmalade French Toast: Replace the sugar with an equal amount of orange marmalade.

Buttermilk French Toast: Replace the milk with buttermilk, and replace the cinnamon with a pinch of ground nutmeg.

Banana French Toast: Reduce the milk to 1⁄4 cup (60 mL) and add 1⁄3 cup (75 mL) mashed very ripe banana. Replace the sugar with packed brown sugar.

Tip

Add up to 2 tbsp (30 mL) raisins or chopped dried fruit, or 1 tbsp (15 mL) miniature semisweet chocolate chips with the bread.

Prep Ahead Option

Whisk the sugar, salt, cinnamon, egg, milk and vanilla (if using) in the mug, then add the bread cubes; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Barbequed Chinese Chicken Lettuce Wraps, page 208, Meat Mains

Ready-to-use Chinese hoisin sauce delivers a deep, round intensity to plain chicken, turning it into something sumptuous. Earthy mushrooms and a scattering of green onions ensure that each forkful is a hit.

16-oz (500 mL) mug

1⁄2 cup frozen sliced bell pepper 125 mL
and onion stir-fry blend

1 can (5 oz/142 g) water-packed 1
chunk chicken, drained and flaked

1⁄4 cup drained canned or jarred 60 mL
mushroom pieces

2 tbsp hoisin sauce 30 mL

2 large iceberg, romaine 2
or butter lettuce leaves

1 tbsp sliced green onions 15 mL

Suggested Accompaniments

Toasted or roasted chopped almonds, peanuts or cashews; crunchy chow mein noodles

In the mug, microwave stir-fry blend on High for 11⁄2 to 2 minutes or until heated through. Drain off excess liquid.

Stir in chicken, mushrooms and hoisin sauce until blended. Microwave on High for 45 to 60 seconds or until warmed through.

Spoon half the chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf. Sprinkle with green onions and any of the suggested accompaniments, as desired.

Tips

If a frozen pepper and onion stir-fry blend isn’t available, use 1⁄2 cup (125 mL) mixed sliced fresh bell peppers and onions and, in step 1, cook for about 2 minutes or until vegetables are tender-crisp.

Hoisin sauce is a thick Chinese sauce akin to American barbecue sauce. Look for it where soy sauce is shelved in the grocery store.

Prep Ahead Option

Measure the stir-fry blend into the mug; cover and refrigerate (decrease the cooking time in step 1 by 30 seconds). Measure the chicken, mushrooms and hoisin sauce into a small airtight container; cover and refrigerate. Place the lettuce leaves and green onions in a small airtight container; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

I love bringing in these great meals to work. The girls in the office are surprised when I bring one of these in and when I made the Barbequed Chinese Chicken Lettuce Wraps the other day they wanted to know what restaurant I had gotten them from. I think this book would be perfect for a college student or for someone moving into their first apartment. It is also great for someone who brings lunches to work and looking for a new a fresh lunch instead of a frozen meal.

You can purchase 250 Best Meals in a Mug HERE. You can also get it locally at Barnes & Nobles.

Apr 292014

Have you ever tried turkey sausage or turkey bacon? I have not yet tried the bacon but I often use turkey sausage and I have found that Jennie-O has some really good tasting ones. I used these Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links the last weekend with our breakfast and Rex ate them right up. I didn’t mention to him until he ate his that they were turkey and he was very surprised. I also use ground sausage without much of a flavor difference and turkey is so much leaner and better for you. You can swap it in any recipe you would use ground beef like tacos, spaghetti or even tater tot casserole. Check out Jennie-O’s website for lots of great tasting recipes.

Here are some Turkey Sausage Mini quiche I made last weekend. I made them up on Sunday and I have been taking one to work for breakfast these past couple days. They have lots of flavor and are very filling. They are great to just heat up in the microwave.

3rd in Series
Cozy Mystery
Publisher: TouchWood Editions (April 15, 2014)

Synopsis

Criminologist and foodie Cait Morgan was looking forward to her dream vacation in Mexico with her boyfriend Bud Anderson. She wasn’t anticipating a fresh corpse on the floor of a local florist’s shop, and she definitely wasn’t expecting Bud to become the prime suspect.

With Bud’s freedom, and maybe even his life, at stake, Cait has to fight the clock to work out which member of the small community living in the seemingly idyllic municipality of Punta de las Rocas might have killed the locally respected florist, and why. Needing to investigate under the watchful gaze of the local police, Cait has to keep her relationship with Bud a secret, and she soon discovers she’s not the only one with something to hide. Peeling back layers of deceit to reveal even more puzzles, Cait struggles with a creeping sense of unreality, desperate to save Bud . . . and, ultimately, herself.

In the third book in the beloved Cait Morgan Mysteries, The Corpse with the Emerald Thumb, travel to the idyllic Mexican countryside as Cait Morgan works against the clock to clear her wrongly accused partner of murder.

My Review:

This is the third book in the Cait Morgan series and the first one I have read. I really enjoyed “The Corpse with the Emerald Thumb”. The story takes place in Mexico and I felt as though I was there. Cait is on vacation with her boyfriend Bud when a body is discovered and Bud is the prime suspect. The police captain ask Cait to help solve the murder – and she is only to happy to help and get Bud out of jail. There is a long list of suspects and Cait needs to find out who it is before someone else is killed. You will love this story as much as I did. I am going back to read the first two in the series I liked this one so much!

This is the first bedroom set I have purchased that came with all the accessory I love having all the decorative pillows on the bed and love the curtains that we still need to hang up. We plan on doing that this next weekend. I found some great curtain rods that will look perfect with my new bedding. It was so fun doing an instant bedroom makeover.

Are you looking for a fun interactive toy? If so the Happy’s are the toy for you. They scamper, pounce and even beg! They can be trained to perform tricks and make 25+ silly sounds. I was able to share Mittens and Chance with the day care my sister-in-law Annette manages. First let me tell you how cute the Happy’s are from World of ZhU. I love them Mittens comes with a fish – she will beg for it! Chance comes with a bone and he will jump for it! They both love to chase their ball too!

The kids in the daycare were so excited! They loved playing with their new pets! They loved just holding them because they were so soft! It was fun watching the Happy’s chase after the kids. I liked watching as the kids held a Happy treat and Mittens and Chance would come running for it and jump for it. I was surprised at how much fun the kids had! Annette says that is the most played with toy right now in the daycare and all ages seem to like it even some of the big kids like them.

Here is the Happy’s favorite Samba tune. They will dance with the video above! You will want to run out today to get your own Happy’s pet!

About the book: A Lone Star Brides book.

Marty Dandridge Olson is ready to leave behind the pain of the past.

Answering an advertisement for a “Lone Star bride,” she leaves her Texas ranch and heads to Denver to marry a man she doesn’t know.

Jake Wythe is the man waiting for her.

Burned by love, he marries now simply to satisfy the board of Morgan Bank, which believes a man of his standing in society should be wed. Together Jake and Marty agree they are done with romance and love and will make this nothing more than a marriage of convenience.

When missing money and a collapsing economy threaten his job, Jake’s yearning to return to ranching grows ever stronger, much to Marty’s dismay. But a fondness has grown between them, as well, further complicating matters.

What will happen when their relationship shifts in unexpected ways . . . and dreams and secrets collide?

My Review:

Great story! I love A Sensible Arrangement it is well written and kept me interested till the end. Marty (Martha) leaves her home in Texas to marry Jake. Jake is bank manager and everyone knows if you aren’t married you are unsteady. So it was important to get married. Marty was not use to the grand style that a bank manager had ~ a very nice house, hired help and anything she could possible want. Jake’s dream was to move to Texas and buy a ranch like his grandfather had ~ but going back to Texas was the last thing Marty wanted. You will have to read A Sensible Arrangement to see what happens.

AmLactin Skin Care Review and Giveaway

Uncategorized 23 Responses »

Apr 252014

Do you hate what the winter does to your skin? Leaving it dry and uncomfortable. I recently tried some new products from AmLactin Skin Care. AmLactin Alpha-Hydroxy Skin Care harnesses the power of lactic acid to gently exfoliate and intensely hydrate to relieve severely dry skin.

I was lucky enough to try 3 different products. The first one that I tried was AmLactin^® Moisturizing Body Lotion has a special formula with clinically proven 12% lactic acid that’s pH-balanced for the skin. This lotion encourages natural skin cell renewal and delivers intense hydration deep within the skin. I love how soft it made my skin after a few days use. It was fragrance free and non-greasy. I used it in the morning and at night and it seemed to last through the day. I get small, red dry patches and this really seemed to help.

The second product was the AmLactin^® Cerapeutic™ Restoring Body Lotion. This lotion has three essential ceramides and our triple action, patented ULTRAPLEX^® formula. This lotion is great for people with extremely rough, flaky, dry skin. The lotions helps heal and renew your skin. It helps replenish moisture. It is also long lasting and fragrance free.

The finial product was the AmLactin^® Foot Cream which utilizes our ULTRAPLEX^® formulation to create one of the best dry skin creams available. During the winter I wear shoes and socks unfortunately so I don’s take care of my feet the way I do in the summer. I figure no one sees them so why bother. Now my feet are rough and dry so this Triple-action alpha-hydroxy therapy with patented ULTRAPLEX^® helped heal, repair, and soften my rough, dry skin.
