Quick Dinner Rolls- Recipe

This recipe is pretty fun to make with the kids. It looks like a biscuit, cooks fast like a biscuit, yet isn’t a biscuit at all. It’s called a Quick Dinner Roll. You can whip this up in under twenty minutes and serve it along with dinner not ten minutes later. Fast enough for you?
Not only is it quick to throw these rolls together, they taste great and all you really need to know how to do is mix. It’s that easy! Have the kids help mixing it up and drop spoonfuls into muffin tins for a really quick addition to the dinner table.

My kids adore them so much I always make two batches!

Wholly Guacamole Review and Giveaway

Who is a fan of Mexican food?
Maybe a little salsa here and there is how it starts, then comes the tacos and burritos. This all leads to the mystical guacamole and tortilla chip combo. This addictive combination may taste as if it is horrid for you and clogging your veins with cholesterol, but in actuality when done right with the best of ingredients, it is one of the healthiest food you can eat.

Wholly guacamole is proof of this. This guacamole is fresh, full of vitamins and minerals, a trans-fat free food, and even gluten free. The flavors are earthy and creamy with a touch of spice to get you ready for the next bite. Each bite is a joy to consume and leaves you wanting more But every good thing must come to an end, and unfortunately there is a bottom to the container.

Fret not, noble chip eaters- there is more then guacamole with which to dip. Try new wholly salsa which is one of the freshest complex salsas around. This salsa is perfect on taco night (or even breakfast time, shh!). Pour some on a fresh out of the pan cheese omelet and you’ll get a delicious Mexican breakfast. I am a big fan of the medium salsa, it has just a bit of a kick and is perfect for just about anything I have thrown it on including chicken, rice, burritos, and of course nachos.

Oh no, a catastrophe has [Read more…]

Stimulate Your Kid’s Mind with CookieCoo Dancing Star

One of the best educational games that you can teach your child on how to use correctly is the CookieCoo Dancing Star. This gaming application is best described as a rhythm game where it teaches your kid how to use their eyes, ears and hands at the same time while following the beat of the music. Teaching your child coordination while at a young age can help them a lot especially during their developmental stage. However, sticking with conventional tools such as bricks and other toys may just bore them silly. What you need is to introduce a bit of music and quirky characters that not only help stimulate their eyes and ears but also stimulate their brain to function easily which is exactly what you can get out of CookieCoo Dancing Star.

Imagine a digital game that is packed with strong visual representations of various kooky characters that kids can’t help but love as well as jolly tunes that they can sing and dance to all rolled into one. Add to this concoction different types of instruments that your kids need to tap in time with the musical note falling on the instrument. The combination of beat, rhythm and profusion of colors, sounds and visual graphics will certainly stimulate your kids’ minds as [Read more…]

World Vison and International Women’s Day

The following is being shared by World Vision, a humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice. World Vision serves all people, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender.

March 8 is International Women’s Day when thousands of events are held to honor the achievements of women around the world. Cindy Breilh, Women of Vision national director, offers seven easy ways for women to provide for daughters, sisters and mothers — women around the world, right in our own neighborhoods and here at home.

1. Save a woman’s life in child birth:
Did you know that in countries like Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, and Bolivia, having a baby is one of the most dangerous things a woman can do? By helping train local midwives in remote communities, you could save a life. Visit StrongWomenStrongWorld.org to learn more.

2. Mentor a girl close to home:
A growing poverty rate, poor-performing schools, and teen violence make it tough to be a girl growing up here in our own country. Reach out and influence the life of a young girl in your own community by volunteering as a tutor or mentor. Get connected at BBBS.org.

3. Use your voice to stop trafficking:
Human trafficking and sexual exploitation affects girls and women in horrific ways all around the world, but the Trafficking Victims Protection Act in the US Senate can help end the practice. Contact your Senators and ask them to renew this bill to protect women and girls, both here in the US and around [Read more…]

Pound Puppies DVD GlVEAWAY

Released just yesterday, Pound Puppies have been re-created for today’s kids. POUND PUPPIES: Homeward Pound releases on DVD! Catch Lucky, Squirt, Cookie and the entire Shelter 17 gang as they find homes for wayward canine cuties. There’s 5 puppy-rific episodes and a Learn to Draw Lucky bonus feature to engage a preschool audience.

What happened to Cooler, Bight Eyes, and those loveable pups from the 80’s? I’d like to think they all got adopted, LOL. I have not seen the DVD yet, it just got here yesterday. But I did see an episode on the Hb network with Little Man, and it’s cute and lets kids know- shelter dogs need love, too!

The Pound Puppies are a team of fearless dogs whose sworn mission is to [Read more…]
