Insulated Cooler Bag for Busy On-The-Go Families

Insulated Cooler Bag for Busy On-The-Go Families

A few months ago I reviewed a fantastic foldable sport wagon from The Wagon Store which has become my grand daughter’s best friend! Seriously, she loves to ride around in the new wagon every time we hit the flea market, beach, neighborhood park, take walks, etc.

Crackin’ Eggs Microwave Egg Cooker

You know…I’m going to be honest here. I had never thought about cooking my eggs in the microwave until this review. I had always thought that cooking eggs in the microwave would cause them to be rubbery and hard. Well guess what? I was totally 

How to Keep Food Fresh 3X Longer

How to Keep Food Fresh 3X Longer

BerryBreeze Fridge FreshI’m very fortunate that I live in a part of Pennsylvania that is centrally located to hundreds of different farms, farmer’s markets and orchards. From Spring through late Fall…I buy 90% of our fresh produce locally. With that said, I’ve always struggled with keeping it fresh…for a longer period of time, until now.

Let me introduce you to BerryBreeze Fridge Fresh which is a small device that you place directly into your refrigerator. It will help to keep food fresh 3X longer and will eliminate unwanted food odors and tastes. There are no filters to clean or replace and it’s practically maintenance free.

The BerryBreeze O3 generator delays molding and decay of many foods you buy, helping them retain their freshness and flavor longer. The unit eradicates odors in your refrigerator caused by many foods, including leftovers, keeping your refrigerator smelling fresh and clean.

How easy is it to use? Well, I’m going to tell you! Simply remove it from the package and insert four D size batteries into the unit. Once the green light comes on, place it on the top shelf in your refrigerator. Sit it and forget about it. When the green light is no longer glowing…you’ll know it’s time to change the batteries.

I received a complimentary BerryBreeze O3 generator to try out for all of you guys and let me tell you…I’m very impressed with it! I got the unit a week before Christmas and I immediately put it into use. I knew over the holidays that I would have a LOT of fresh produce and leftovers sitting around in my fridge which was the perfect time to test it out.

Typically I see “fur” growing on my fresh strawberries and red raspberries within 3-4 days. Well, 8 days later…my berries were still looking fresh and tasted great! Next, I had a lot of salad fixing’s in my refrigerator (lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, celery, mushrooms, etc.) and typically I pitch those 5-6 days after I buy them (if they’re not eaten up). Well, 10 days later…they all still looked great!

To test out the odor elimination feature…I placed some leftover fish (salmon) in a bowl without a lid on it. I put it on my second shelf and left it there for 2 1/2 days. Well guess what? Every time we opened up the refrigerator we smelled no fishy odors! Say what? Yup, no fishy odors at all! Wow!

I’ve been using the BerryBreeze Fridge Fresh for 3 weeks now and seriously, I don’t know how we ever lived without it! I’m saving money now because I’m extending the life of our foods & keeping them fresh, longer. On top of that, there are no foul & funky odors coming out of my refrigerator when I open the door. I absolutely LOVE my new BerryBreeze Fridge Fresh! If you own a refrigerator, you need to own one of these too!

How to Decorate Cakes and Cupcakes with Ease!

How to Decorate Cakes and Cupcakes with Ease!

Cake Boss Icing Duo and Decorating SetThe holidays are quickly approaching and many of us will be hosting some family get-togethers or attending parties. On top of that, we have all of those wintertime birthdays, baby showers and other types of parties to contend with.

I’m the type of person who prefers to make homemade cakes and cupcakes. I find that the bakery items are just too sweet for my taste buds and way too heavy on my wallet. For me…homemade is best!

Recently I had the opportunity to try out the Cake Boss Icing Duo and Decorating Set and I absolutely LOVE it! It’s the easiest icing home decorating set that I’ve ever used! One of the really cool things you can do with this set is use two different colored icings at one time!

Cake Boss Icing Duo and Decorating Set

The Cake Boss Icing Duo and Decorating Set applies two different colors and even flavors of icing onto cakes, cupcakes, cookies and more with ease! The set includes six plastic decorating tips and eight dual-chamber icing bags along with directions on how to use it.

Product Features:

* The unique three-part coupler design assembles easily and helps keep frosting colors separate.

* Six different icing tips let you create two-color swirls, stars, flowers, shells and more!

* Eight 18″ dual-chamber clear plastic icing bags are disposable for easy cleanup.

* Additional icing bags are sold separately.

Last week I baked up a batch of homemade vanilla (white) cupcakes. I like to keep things simple so I lined my baking pan with paper liners and left them bake in the oven for 15 to 17 minutes or until done. I took them out and left them completely cool.

Vanilla Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

My little grand daughter selected the icing flavor (we used cream cheese) and she selected the two colors (pink and mint green). You make your own icing like we did or you can buy store bought and just add a few drops of food coloring to it. If buying store bought…one can of icing will do 18 cupcakes. Just divide the icing in half and color it with food coloring to any color that you like.

Assemble the decorating set (took me less than one minute to do) and place one color of icing in one side of the bag and the other color in the other side. You will pump out both colors together making this a quick and super easy process. I selected the decorating tip that I wanted to use and got busy. It took me less than 15 minutes to get all 18 cupcakes decorated. Pretty!

You can find the new Cake Boss Icing Duo and Decorating Set in various online and offline stores across the nation. I absolutely LOVE this product and will be using it a lot throughout the holiday season.
