by | , | 2 Comments

This post is Sponsored by al fresco but my opinions are 100% my own! I recently received a cooler of some al fresco products for my family to try.  I was excited to get them because I hadn't had any of their products, nor had I tried any kind of chicken sausage so this would be a first for me.   My family isn't as adventurous when it comes to sausage so when we had a family get together, I had my husband grill up the Buffalo Style Chicken Sausage for us to try. About the Buffalo Style Chicken Sausage They are tangy with a medium heat level and made with lean, skinless chicken meat.  They have 70% Less Fat and 30% Less Sodium than Pork Sausage (USDA).  They are also Gluten Free and are...

Robo Fish – The Fish That Doesn’t Get Flused Down the Toilet Giveaway (ends 6/10)

by | , | 4 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Zuru but my opinions are 100% my own! If you've ever owned gold-fish then you know they don't last long and are a lot of work to keep alive.  We had our first experience with gold-fish last fall and needless to say there were tears days later.  I even bought a fish bowl hoping to give them enough room to swim in.  But they died one at a time and then I was done with that. I do know other fish besides gold-fish, last longer but they are a lot of work (in my opinion) and the excitement wears off fast so I'd rather not bother.  But I found a fish I love and don't mind putting in our now empty fish bowl.  Have you seen the Robo Fish from Zuru?  They are small...
