Recently, our family got to try the Replay Audio Bluetooth Wireless Speaker + Speakerphone.

Celebrate the 4th of July with Jennie-O

Nothing says family fun like gathering around the grill, watching your food being cooked, playing games, talking, sampling the food being grilled ( or in our case maybe sneaking the food my husband has grilled when his back in turned!).

One of my husband's favorite foods to grill are hot dogs. We recently tried Jennie-O turkey franks. We grilled a few uncured turkey franks, bun length uncured turkey franks and jalapeno jack uncured turkey franks---Oh the jalapeno jack uncured turkey franks were the best! I could taste the jalapeno flavor, but it was not hot, or to strong!

The bad news about these franks is they are not available to everyone yet; they are only available in a few test markets. Keep your eyes open, because you have got to try them----y'all don't be hating on me because our family got to try them! YUM!

Make a fashion statement with these sleek 

Carmex Moisture Plus lip balm tubes!

I plan on keeping my lips moisturized and in style this 4th of July!

As you know, a true fashionista always aims to keep her finger on the fashion pulse, and one of the most important aspects of style is expressing individuality. Letting personality speak through style choices turns more heads than the latest trend on any day. Carmex Moisture Plus offers a design to match any personality.

I selected the multicolored one; which means I'm FAB---I will only share a few things that FAB means:

• Fashion Icon: Twiggy
• Words to live by: "It’s all groovy."
• Her style in one word: Mod
• Go-to outfit: Mini-dress
• Statement shoes: Go-go boots

I can't get over the Go-go boots! Ha!

~If you gravitate towards a classic and sophisticated style? Try Chic in a black and white geometric pattern to accessorize your refined look. 

~Will you try anything once? Then try Fab in modern and multicolored print.

~ Looking for something a little lower key? The Whimsical design in a light blue heart print is cute and down to earth. 

~For those who like to push the envelope, opt for Adventurous in bold purple snakeskin print.

Sizzle and Smoke: The Ultimate Guide to Grilling for Diabetes, Prediabetes, and Heart Health (+ Giveaway!)

We love to grill; it's usually my daughters and myself inside prepping the food for the grill and then my husband and boys do the grilling. Nothing beats the experience of meats and veggies sizzling over hot coals or a gas-fired grill as the smell of smoke fills the air. 

Sizzle and Smoke : The Ultimate Guide to Grilling for Diabetes, Prediabetes, and Heart Health is a paperback cookbook filled with healthy recipes of meats, marinades, vegetables---even desserts! One of my favorite recipes in Sizzle and Smoke is found on page 120, Mexican Street Corn. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it!

This collection of grilling recipes uses lean meats and vegetarian dishes to deliver the smoky, natural flavor only a grill can provide. While many classic grill-top recipes are nutritional train wrecks, grilling also has a dirty little secret — it's an inherently low-fat method of cooking. Lamb, beef, poultry, veggie sides, marinades and rubs, and even dessert — it's all here. Also included is an extensive section on techniques, methods, and equipment, with photos and illustrated steps. A grilling master class and cookbook in one, Sizzle and Smoke is perfect for the backyard BBQ chef looking to cut calories and inches without cutting out the fun and flavor.

Amazon has Sizzle and Smoke on sale for $18.38, down from $24.95. These would be great to add to your collection of cookbooks or to give as gifts.

GIVEAWAY: This giveaway is only opened to people that live in the USA.

TGI Fridays snacks have been a long time favorite of my husbands---all flavors. So when I was asked if I wanted to try these, of course I said yes.  The TGI Fridays Bacon Ranch Potato Skins are seasoned with the perfect combination of savory bacon and zesty ranch to create a hearty and satisfying snack chip.

We were also sent a couple of other bags of chips too: Vidalia Brands® Inc. Zesty Ranch Sweet Onion Petals and Boulder Canyon Sweet® Vidalia Onion Kettle Chips

The Vidalia Brands® Inc. Zesty Ranch Sweet Onion Petals are made with real Vidalia sweet onion puree, these tasty zesty ranch sweet onion petals are gluten free with zero Trans Fat and only 130 calories per one-ounce serving, and cooked in better-for-you sunflower oils.

The Boulder Canyon Sweet® Vidalia Onion Kettle Chips are made with premium American grown potatoes. The potatoes are slow cooked in small batches for an irresistible crunch and seasoned to perfection using a special spice created from real Vidalia® onions. Additionally, the delicious chips are gluten free and Kosher with 0 Trans Fat.

Each one of these snacks is sure to make any 4th of July celebration explode with great flavor while making each guest and family member happy. Not to mention, by serving these snacks you get to keep your oven off to help keep your kitchen cool over the 4th of July weekend!

Ice Cream Sundaes topped with Bosco Syrups!

Summer is here and that means so is ice cream season. I love ice cream: in a cone, in a cup, banana split, as a sundae, --doesn't matter, it's always yummy!

Our family recently got to try Bosco syrup. Bosco spent 35 years as a regional brand, but Bosco is no stranger to the big stage, with “starring” roles in Seinfeld, Shrek, and Laverne & Shirley. With natural cocoa, vitamin B, and the thickest and richest syrup around, Bosco is a simple to enjoy the delicious goodness of chocolate, whether as an ice cream topping or a delicious milk enhancer!

We ended up making sundaes! 

My husband tried the fudge brownie Bosco topping and I chose the sea salt caramel Bosco topping (YUM!).

Thankfully I had a can of mixed nuts in the pantry, because I forgot to buy nuts---and my husband loves nuts on his sundaes! 

I just knew the sea salt caramel Bosco syrup would be my favorite, but that fudge brownie syrup comes into a very close second! The sea salt caramel comes out of the bottle pretty fast, but I didn't mind a little extra topping on my ice cream.

The Fudge Brownie Bosco syrup is very rich with that "Brownie" flavor; which is perfect to go a top vanilla ice cream.

You can find Bosco syrups at Walmart for just $1.98 each! I recommend buying both!

With the 4th of July right around the corner, Bosco syrups would be a great addition to your celebrations.
