Cook 'N Recipe Organizer Review

I love to cook. More than that, I absolutely love to bake. Over the years, I have obtained a rich collection of recipes that I have yet to organize. I always look at my collection and tell myself that I'll sit down and enter them all into one convenient electronic organizer someday, but with so many to sort through, I just pretend
that I don't see it piling up in my binder.

Just recently, though, I was given the opportunity to try out an electronic organizer that might just be the reason for my new found joy in organizing my recipes. Cook 'N Recipe Organizer has been my one stop shop for organizing my recipes (both from online and entering my own),  planning my meals, organizing my shopping list, and taking care of what I eat, acting as my personal nutritionist. So really, I'm getting five products in one.

When I finally got the program installed onto my laptop, the first thing I noticed about it was how easy it was to navigate. I think the best part about this software is how thoroughly thought out their setup guide is.  The program comes with a handy "Getting Started Guide" sheet and a video tutorial, so if you ever get lost along the way, you can simply refer to these sheet to help you get back on track.

The interface of this program is all set up for you. There are separate folders listed under the recipes tab so you can easily drop and enter a recipe into the correct category (i.e. appetizer, beverages, bread, etc.). Their more advanced features allow you to:

Search and Capture

Make a Shopping List and Analyze Nutritional Values

Create Meals

Create and Menu

Back Up/Restore

Import and Export Cookbooks

I absolutely love the simplicity of using this program. It's hard enough to come up with my own recipe organization method, let along get started on it, so anything that can simplify the process, I am all for it. I enjoy using this program so much that I'm actually taking the time to finally organize my recipes, as well as find new ones to simply drop into the different folders that are all set up for me. At the end of the day, my verdict for the product is, it's worth getting. It'll make your life a million times easier and you'll even have your meal plans set up for the next year if you decide to (exaggerating of course...a week in advance is just as good).

Sunsational Sunflower Milk Review

Dairy free milk is a must in my household. Not because anyone is lactose intolerant or allergic, but because we have chosen to be a little more conscious about what kinds we should and shouldn't consume. I have always opted for almond milk, which in my opinion, is much more delicious and just as versatile as regular milk. Lately, I've been on the hunt for alternatives to non-dairy beverages. That's when I came across Sunsational.

Himalayan Salt Lamp Giveaway

I was super excited to do a review on a Salt Lamp from the Himalayan Salt Shop!

Do you suffer from allergies, asthma and/or breathing problems? I do. I don't get sick that often, but when I do it's a sinus infection and it happens during season changes. I had heard about the Salt Lamps on Doctor Oz (read article HERE).

What is so great about Salt Lamps?

These wonderful products actually cleanse the air. They work the same way as synthetic ionizing machines. When the salt is heated (by either a bulb or flame) it releases negative ions into the air. Those ions bond with the positively charged ions of pollutants and allergens which neutralizes them. These lamps have been show to help people with asthma, allergies, and a host of other diseases.



Not only do they cleanse the air, but they're really pretty too! I keep the blinds open for natural light during the day and in the evening I turn on the Salt Lamp. It creates such a beautiful glow. I have received many compliments on mine. There is no "scent" that emits from the lamp.

These really do make awesome gifts for just about anyone! To purchase one for yourself or someone else, check them out HERE

One of you lucky readers will be receiving your very own Himalayan Salt Shop Lamp!

Five Finger Tees Review: "I Bought This Shirt Next Week"

My husband is a huge fan of wearing t-shirts. Even more so, he has a bigger thing for wearing humorous t-shirts. It's so amusing to see him pick out his t-shirts when we go shopping because I watch him laugh to himself as he reads the contents of a geeky t-shirt. So, when I told him that we've been given a chance to try out a t-shirt from fivefingertees.com his eyes immediately popped wide open. Honestly, I could've easily taken the opportunity and chosen a t-shirt for myself but, I know how my husband is about his t-shirts so I  decided to let him sit and choose which one he was going to wear for review.

As we're scrolling through the site, I couldn't help but notice how excited my husband was....I couldn't blame him. I almost regretted the fact that I handed over this opportunity to him. Five Finger Tees had an array of selections to choose from. I absolutely loved how easy it was to navigate their website. They had their categories lined up neatly to the left hand side of the page. Of course, my husband goes directly to "funny" category. As he scrolls through each t-shirt, his eyes land on the "next week" shirt. The quote on the shirt said, "I bought this shirt next week". If any of you know of the Back to the Future movie series, you'll understand what this means. That was it. He pointed at the screen, looked over at me, and that's all he had to do....

Overindulged In Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have been baking non-stop these past few weeks. It's just been so nice to be done with school and have a little bit of time to myself before the craziness starts again. It seems my husband is quite enjoying my baking frenzy as well because he's always got his hand in the cookie jar. Though my cookies don't last very long after being pulled out of the oven, I enjoy the thought that my treats are making him happy.

Last night, I baked a HUGE batch of chocolate chip cookies. The recipe I used yielded some amazing, crispy on the edges, chewy in the middle type cookies. They were DELICIOUS to say the least. I'm so excited about launching my cookie blog as this is where I will be documenting all of my baked treats! But, to give you a little preview of what's to come, here is what I (somewhat) guiltily indulged myself in last night.
