I'll tell you, recording your favorite shows has come a long way!  I remember when I would forget to set the VCR to tape my favorite show and I'd think of it either too late or no one was home to turn it on.  Actually I didn't even have a cell phone to call anyone to ask them to hit record so I had to find a pay phone!   And then I had a VCR that I could set to record the same time everyday, but then forget to put it on the correct channel.  Those days were tough compared to what we have at our hands right now with cable DVR's!  But TiVo actually wants to make it even easier for you. We don't have TiVo but I'm seriously considering it because it seems so much better for us compared to what...

Besides the yummy Lucy's Cookies we samples, we also receives some Brownie Cakes.  These were basically just like the mini brownies I make, ONLY not so Mini and they are allergy friendly.  The girls really enjoyed them as did I, but I enjoyed them best warmed with some vanilla ice cream on top!   I supposed they'd also taste good with chocolate ice cream! These are another great choice for not just the kids who have allergies but the ones that need to be careful what they take to school because of other children with allergies.  My oldest was stoked to be able to have lunch with her friend when she had these brownies for snack.   They come in a box with 4 individual packs and each pack has...

I've shared Lucy's Cookies before and for those of you that didn't see it, they are allergy free cookies and are delicious! If you have someone with an allergy to gluten, milk, eggs, peanuts or tree nuts then you'll want to check out these cookies and treats. They are also non-GMO and vegan! This time I was able to try the Lucy's Snack N' Go packs which are perfect for packing in school lunches not just for those with the allergies but for those that have classmates with allergies because these are safe to bring to school. Both my girls have to be careful with what they take to school because they have classmates with Allergies. Lunch isn't as much of a problem because the children with...

It's easy to confuse Newman's Own and Newman's Own Organics products. Did you even realize there were two products lines? Because until recently I didn't! Newman's Own Organics started as a division of Newman's Own in 1993 by Nell Newman and her business partner, Peter Meehan, but became a separate company in early 2001. The two companies have separate lines of products. They also have different packaging I'm sure I've seen both packaging but never really looked closely enough to notice the difference. I'm guessing some of you have too?? We received a box full of some yummy Newman's Own Organics products and I swear my girls thought they were in snack heaven when they saw all the yummy...
