ReUsies™...Check them out!

OK, so I was doing some research over the weekend...and if that is not enough to make you wonder about this blog...then I just don't know what will. Anyway, as some of you know my baby girl will be starting Kindergarten this fall (sniff sniff) and after talking she decided that she wants to take her own lunch to school. You can not even imagine how happy that made me! I had visions of yummy, fresh and healthy food dancing in my head. So then I got thinking about how I had to be on the look out for the cutest lunch box EVER! After all of those fun thoughts I came to my senses and thought about ALL those plastic bags we would go through for carrying sandwiches, fruits, veges, and of course some type of yummy dessert. So I wondered what other mommies had done and went on my search.
Luckily the search only took me about 15 minutes before I found my perfect solution.....ReUsies™!!!


ReUsies™ are a re-usable alternative to sandwich/snack bags, each one has the potential to eliminate hundreds of plastic bags. ReUsies™ are 100% cotton lined with leak-resistant nylon and are secured with Velcro® closures.


For more information you can check out their website HERE. While your checking out...because I know you will be...tell them 25 Hours A Day sent you!!!

The Easiest Apple Pie Recipe EVER!!!

I found the most amazing recipe on Money Saving Mom's Blog and upon trying it for myself, confirmed that it was as tasty as it looked! The whole family enjoyed this thing, even the picky 5 year old! Its called Slab Apple Pie. This "pie" has easy peasy written all over it:

1. Super simple to throw together in a pinch. No rolling dough like the conventional apple pies.
2. It freezes great, so if you just want to put it together and bake later for a fresh out of the oven desert, then this is the recipe for you!

Slab Apple Pie with Easy Crumb Top

Crust:

1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter or margarine, cut into chunks
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-2 Tablespoons cold water

In medium bowl, combine flour, 1/2 cup butter and salt with a pastry blender, or two knives held together. Kids can do this with a fork if that is easier. Work these ingredients together until they form pea-sized crumbs. Quickly stir in cold water and combine until a dough forms.

(Use as is in recipes that call for an unbaked pie shell. For other recipes you may pre-bake it for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees until light golden brown. Cool completely before pouring in your filling.)

Filling:

6 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 Tablespoon cinnamon

Topping:

1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 375°. Prepare pie crust according to directions and pat it into the bottom of a 9×13 pan. In large mixing bowl, combine apple slices, sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon. Spread in an even layer over crust. In food processor, combine flour, butter, and brown sugar, pulsing until coarse crumbs are formed, or in a large mixing bowl, combine these ingredients, cutting butter into sugar and flour with a pastry blender or two knives held together. Stir in nuts. Sprinkle crumb top over apple layer.* Bake for 45 minutes to an hour or until filling bubbles. Cool completely.

If preparing ahead of time to freeze. Wrap with foil and label at the *. Then, when ready to serve, bake frozen pie at 425° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375° and continue baking as directed.

Thanks Money Saving Mom, for a simple great tasting recipe!

Broken Rules...

Ok, so I broke the first rule I set out for myself. I said that I would update this blog daily and I failed on the second day. However, to my defense I was seriously sick yesterday along with 3 other members of my family. I will spare you the details, but it was not pretty. We are still getting over it today! Lots of just laying around.

Hopefully I can make your day today though with the following offer:

http://www.vocalpoint.com/naturefusion/request.html

This is a full size bottle of Pantene Nature Fusion Smooth Vitality Shampoo! If your not a member of Vocal Point, you will have to sign up there for this deal but it is totally worth it. I have received several full-size products from them. What an offer and certainly worthy of being forgiven for my broken rule :-)

Am I the Only One...

Does anyone else ever feel like they need more hours in the day, more days in the week, and more weeks in the year? I am a wife, the mother of 4 children (that's a whole other blog) and a full-time professional. I need more of all of the above! I recently (about 4 months ago) stumbled upon a blog that really gave me a new mindset as to our financial situation. I realized that with little work involved I could save us tons buy just clipping coupons and being more frugal in general. I am becoming more aware of just how wasteful we have been (food, etc.). At first this venture was one of my own, but it is beginning to spread to my family and those closest to me as well (friends, co-workers, etc.). I want to apologize up front for not being the greatest writer, but I will get you the facts. I plan to update at least daily if not several times daily with deals I have found, recipes that I love (or really want to try), ramblings about my family or friends, pictures (not professional) and just anything else I find interesting or think others might like. Please feel free to comment on my posts...I love to see other points of view and want to know what you like to read about. Plus, it will be nice just to know that someone is reading...hehe. I am sitting here on the love seat with my hubby on Valentine's Day as I write the first blog of many many to come...I hope you will join me for what is sure to be a wild and crazy ride.
