Cold & Flu season is in full swing. Everyone in my family has been hit with a cold and we are just hoping to be able to avoid the flu.

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, HOT Deals, Local Deals/Happenings | 124 Comments

I'm not a big "breakfast out" kind of person. I like to have my coffee when I first wake up with something sweet rather than get ready to leave the house to eat breakfast.

Besides the fact that I'm too busy to sit down and eat out somewhere. It just doesn't happen. And McDonald's has one of my favorite guilty pleasure breakfast sandwiches - Sausage McMuffin with Egg. It's the best breakfast sandwich out there, in my opinion! Love them. But by the time I make it out the door to even grab one, breakfast is over....
