30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 7

Day 7 - A picture of my most treasured item

This one was actually a little hard for me.  There are a few items that I truly treasure - pictures of my kids when they were babies, family photo albums, a locket my grandma had made, her milk glass...heck, even my sewing machine and compute are treasured!  But most important to me have to be my wedding rings (yes, I know I don't have the band on - long story).  It's not because of the shape of the diamond or the price paid - it's the meaning behind the ring.  That ring on my left hand shows the world that I'm happily married to a wonderful man.  It leaves no doubt that I love and am loved.  Forever.



Now it's your turn!!!

Day 2 - A picture of you and the person you have been close to the longest.

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 2

A picture of me and the person I've been close to the longest.  Not counting family, I've known my bestie, Brandy the longest.  It's been 20 years now!!!!  I can't believe it.  She's been an amazing friend and I love her so stinking much, even though we NEVER get to see each other.  Maybe we can plan a girls' weekend this summer...hint hint, Brandy.

This is the only picture I can find right now, so sorry it's so blurry!


And just to show that there is hope out there for all the awkward teenagers out there, here are some redeeming pictures. lol

TABASCO - So much more than hot! (review)

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TABASCO® Original Red. All opinions are 100% mine.

The Super Bowl is over now - which for me, meant preparing LOTS of game food for my hubby and boys!  That's one of the days that we really splurge on our diets and eat lots of fun stuff.  Our menu always includes pizza, party mix, chips and dips, hot wings, and more.  
My hubby is a HUGE fan of TABASCO® Original Red; he seriously uses it on almost everything - eggs, casseroles, burritos, chicken, and especially pizza.  I have always been a little scared to try it - until last week.  Hubby finally convinced me that it's more than hot - it really has a good flavor.  I put some on my pizza and holy cow, I love it!  I usually just order the cheapest pizza I can find, and while it's ok I've always thought it needed something.  The TABASCO really brings out the flavor of the pepperoni and the sauce.  I don't think I'll ever go without it now.  When I went to the Pizza Perfected part of the website, I couldn't believe the ideas they have for pizza!  I'll have to try a couple of them and post again.  Especially the Pesto and Salad Pizzas!!!
For our Super Bowl Party, I tried some of the recipes I found on the Game-Day Party Menu.  This one was GREAT!:

Hot & Spicy Party Mix

  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted 
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons Original TABASCO® brand Pepper Sauce
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons seasoned salt 
  • 8 cups of your favorite Chex® brand cereals (corn, rice and/or wheat) 
  • 1 cup mixed nuts 
  • 1 cup pretzels 
  • 1 cup bite-size cheese crackers 
Combine butter, Worcestershire sauce, TABASCO®Sauce, and seasoned salt in a small bowl and mix well. Pour cereals, nuts, pretzels and cheese crackers into a large plastic zip-top bag. Pour butter mixture over cereal mixture inside Zipper Bag. Seal top of bag securely. Shake bag until all pieces are evenly coated.
To prepare in microwave oven:
Pour contents of bag into a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high 5 to 6 minutes, stirring thoroughly every 2 minutes and scraping sides and bottom of bowl. Spread on absorbent paper to cool. Store in airtight container.
To prepare in conventional oven:
Pour contents of bag into an open roasting pan. Bake in a 250°F oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool and store as directed above.
Makes 11 cups.
Note: Due to differences in microwave ovens, cooking time may need adjustment. These directions were developed using 625- to 700-watt ovens.

Nutritional information per serving: 242 calories, 5g protein, 29g carbohydrate, 12g fat, 1mg cholesterol, 655mg sodium
I also have a recipe for a great buffalo chicken dip - I'm thinking I'll substitute the TABASCO for the old sauce I used.  It'll add a lot more flavor that even the kids will like!  
So what about you?  Do you have any great recipes to share using TABASCO?

Boudreaux's Butt Paste

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Boudreaux's Butt Paste. All opinions are 100% mine.
When I had just had my youngest son, I was pretty active in online message boards.  Every time someone one the boards would ask for a diaper rash cream recommendation, Boudreaux's Butt Paste was always the 1st one I saw!  With a name like that and so many recommendations, of course I had to try it.  My boys have been notorious for BAD diaper rashes.  I mean, to the point of bleeding.  It absolutely breaks your heart when your baby is hurting and nothing is working.  But then I tried Butt Paste.  I swear I heard angels sing.  Little Monkey Man didn’t have to suffer like his big brothers did.  I used it at the first sign of redness and the rash would go away.  I highly recommend Boudreaux’s Butt Paste - if you haven’t tried it, go to Boudreaux's Butt Paste and get your free sample!

Boudreaux’s Butt Paste was specifically formulated by a pharmacist with direction from a respected pediatrician to provide effective diaper rash care.  It goes on and wipes off easily.  There are several convenient sizes - 1oz, 2oz, 3oz, and 4oz tubes come with flip top caps, and a 16oz jar.  Boudreaux’s Butt Paste has a pleasant scent.  It has a skin protectant, too!

Boudreaux’s Butt Paste has been featured on:
Oprah Show
Tonight Show
Today Show
People Magazine
ESPN
While You Were Out TLC
