We have sandwiches quite frequently in our home.  They aren’t usually anything fancy, a hoagie bun topped with deli meat and some cheese – sometimes an unusual mustard makes the cut, but still it’s a simple meal we all enjoy.

When I make them, I flashback to my elementary school days when the Canadian children’s singer Fred Penner,

I’ve never had potato bread before and I found a recipe on Betty Crocker’s website when I was looking for recipes for the Loaded Mashed Potatoes that I received to review.  I wanted a cheesy/bacon-y flavored bread to go along with our dinner, but it didn’t really taste that way – but it was really good.  I think it might be because I added 2 TBSP of yeast to the machine instead of 2 TSP (DOH!!).  So I’m going to try it again sometime and see if less yeast makes the flavor stand out more.

Getting a great dinner on the table that your family turly appreciates isn’t always easy.  Johnsonville Sausage makes bringing out the “thank yous” at your dinner table a snap with its selection of Italian Sausage.

I’m a little late on getting a post up this morning because my sister and her family came to spend the night.  They had been vacationing down in Phoenix and were making their way back home to Canada, and made a pit stop here for a few hours.

It was great fun seeing my nephews (ages 4 and 18 months).  They stopped for a few hours on their way down, but other than that this is the first time I have seen the boys, since the younger one was born.

I love cooking up new recipes in my kitchen.  I have a collection of cook books, magazine clippings and bookmarked sites with waaaaay more recipes then I could ever use.  For the most part I have a few criteria that makes me save them:

1. They have to contain ingredients that I recognize
2. I have to be able to modify it, because my family is picky
3. It has to be non-labor intensive

If you’re looking for a cooking product that helps you make quick, delicious meals, you need to try new Philadelphia Cooking Creme. 

You don’t have to be a celebrity chef like Emeril Lagasse, as a matter of fact, just see how easy it is to make creamy chicken Florentine with it – so easy Emeril’s attorney can do it!

Deck the halls with Mrs. Butterworth’s syrup!

Just in time for the holiday season Mrs. Butterworth is getting dressed up for the festivities.  There are three LIMITED holiday bottles that are a part of the 2010 decorative series.

You might remember awhile ago I posted a review about the George Foreman Evolve Grill.  Well I recently got to try out another George Foreman product that aids in healthier cooking; the Smart Kitchen Multicooker.  I could seriously use this for most of the meals I make.

First let me share with you the many uses for the Smart Kitchen Multicooker.

Okay I know it may seem strange after just getting myself a bread machine that I’m writing a post on behalf of Pillsbury for their popular Simply… line.

But here’s the deal, I don’t always plan my meals out in advance (crazy, huh? I know!).  Pillsbury Simply…Biscuits & Bread are the perfect solution for us moms, who have busy days, and still want to serve something with home-baked taste, even when they are only thinking about dinner about 30 minutes before they need to get it on the table!
