With the popularity of my Korean Beef Soft Tacos post I have been looking for more ways to do some ‘food fusion.’  I wanted to make something that was fast but still had a homecooked taste to it, and altered a recipe I found for enchiladas to put all the yumminess of Italian food with the inspiration of this Mexican classic.  Using frozen meatballs means that you can put this dish together in no time at all, and it takes just 30 minutes to bake.

How does it happen?  You put all the containers together with the lids and inevitably, it turns into a black hole of missmatched containers and lids (half of them missing) and in such disarray you can’t find a container and lid to match if your life depended on it.

Michael Bolton fans your fandom dreams might just be realized with this fun new, one of a kind e-card from American Greetings!

It’s not every day you can have Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter Michael Bolton serenade you. Now with the help of American Greetings you can send a chart-topping birthday experience to your friends and family (heck, even to yourself!) with a Michael Bolton video ecard featuring a personalized birthday ballad created just for them.  

Since my family’s palate is very sparse, I have to find new ways of serving up the things they’ll actually eat.  I have a pretty good recipe for Chicken Pot Pie that I don’t mess with, but when I saw a magazine ad for Mini Chicken Pot Pies, I was itching to make some mini comfort food and thought “mmm… Mac & Cheese.” 

With as many likes that my not staged, dark and grainy Instagram picture received, I figured I had to blog them 🙂

With winter almost behind us, I am looking for easy, scrumptious meals for my family. Less time in the kitchen means more time for other fun activities. Now through March 16, 2015, each 14.5-15 oz can of Chef Boyardee is on rollback at Walmart for only $0.75. Chef Boyardee raviolis, mac & cheese, and spaghetti and meatballs are just some of the varieties you can enjoy at a low price. Be sure to head to Walmart and stock up on this great deal while supplies last!

It took me a while to get on the Group Coupon train.  There HAS to be a catch I always thought.  Certainly you couldn’t really get such a great deal on some of these events, services or items.  But a friend convinced me that there was nothing to lose, and she was right.  Now I have another site to save money at in the Groupon family and that is Groupon Coupons.

Groupon Coupons is a bit different model than the Groupons you know and love, here you don’t have to buy anything- it’s a big database of FREE coupons!  And it’s not just coupons- they also alert you about store sales and promotions.

Many credit cards and all U.S. passports issued after 2006 (plus some other ID cards, such as workplace IDs and some state drivers licenses) contain radio frequency identification (RFID) chips that broadcast personal information. They are constantly transmitting and thieves that have an RFID reader can capture that information just by walking by you. That’s right, even if the credit card or passport is in a bag or a purse they can get that information, and the only way they can’t is if you block that signal.

I peruse stores like Michaels and Hobby Lobby and websites like Zulilly and proclaim with nearly everything I see: “I could make that…and a lot cheaper!” But then I never do it. “Enough!” I said after seeing both a wreath with a wine cork monogram online and stand alone burlap monograms at the store.

I did however need a ‘little’ help from Michaels and Dollar Tree, to make my own Cork Monogram.

Did you know 65 percent of Americans would consider a keyless electronic lock if they could more easily access their home without compromising security?

A survey commissioned by Schlage, and conducted online by Harris Poll in September among over 2,000 U.S. adults found that four out of five Americans believe there would be benefits to having a keyless electronic lock on their home’s door.
