Johnsonville Italian Sausage 


The fine folks of SheSpeaks and Johnsonville sent me coupons for FREE Johnsonville Italian Sausage, and man, do we LOVE sausage in this house!! This stuff is so tasty that giving it to me free is the only way to make it better, as far as I'm concerned. My personal fave is the HOT kind, as I love spicy food, but all the varieties are delish. The choices are:

Mild Italian Sausage Links
Hot Italian Sausage Links
Sweet Italian Sausage Links
Four Cheese Italian Sausage Links
Mild Ground Italian Sausage
Hot Ground Italian Sausage
Sweet Ground Italian Sausage

If you're making pizza at home to save $, this is what you need on it, and it's great in lasagna, omelets, and don't forget on the GRILL, for those of us lucky enough to live where the weather allows us to eat outside already. You can find some cool recipes here

Nutella party!! :-) 


The fine folks from MomSelect & Maria Bailey kindly invited me to be a host of one of their MommyParties sponsored by Nutella hazelnut spread. On Saturday I hosted a Nutella Breakfast Bar and invited ten girlfriends to join me for a breakfast party... and boy, did we pig out, LOL!! Here's a little info about the star of the party:

"Nutella has been a favorite of Europeans for decades, and when used in moderation with complementary foods, Nutella® is a quick and easy tool to encourage kids to eat whole grains, such as whole wheat toast, English muffins, toaster waffles and bagels.

Nutella® hazelnut spread is a terrific option for individuals with peanut allergies. The spread does not contain peanuts or peanut ingredients, nor does the product come in contact with peanuts during manufacturing. Nutella is comparable to other popular breakfast spreads and is the perfect alternative for all those finicky eaters in your household."

It seems like half the women I know have at least one kid with a peanut allergy, so having an option like this is fantastic for them; besides the breakfast options, they can use Nutella for many recipes that call for peanut butter, with the bonus of that sweet hit of chocolate goodness, and it's safe for all their kids to eat.

Nutella was very generous in sending us:

26.5oz Jar of Nutella® hazelnut spread for use during your party
(10) Nutella® spread sample packs and coupons for guests bags
(10) Nutella® spread guest bags
(10) Nutella® spread tumbler mugs
(10) Nutella® spread spreader
(10) Nutella® spread tip cards for guests

Everyday Breakfast Tips and Trivia

Everyone was impressed with all these goodies, and of course everyone is thrilled to get free stuff in this economy, but they were hungry and the main attraction was the FOOD. We had several waffle irons going to make fresh waffles to have with Nutella and fruit for everyone, and believe me they were TASTY!! We also had bags of fresh bagels and several kinds of muffins; the Nutella was delicious on everything. We made fruit smoothies with frozen fruit (to get frostiness without ice cream) too, to put in the new biodegradable travel mugs, and all together it was a pretty luxurious meal.

Based on the rave reviews, I'm betting that every one of those women will be buying Nutella for their families; I'll certainly be continuing to buy it. If your kids are fussy at breakfast, give it a try as an easy way to get some protein and nutrition into them... and fewer breakfast battles is a bonus that every mom can appreciate.
