Easier Mashed Potatoes with a Giveaway
October 2, 2010 By 136 Comments
I am a homemade in the kitchen kind of girl but on occasion with three busy never ending hungry teenagers I need something edible five minutes ago. If you have any teen boys you know what I mean!
One of my boys loves to bake but we don’t really have one that loves to cook. However, they have been taught how to make some basic things.
One thing is a potato bowl. What we call a potato bowl is similar to a stuffed potato only it is mashed potatoes topped with leftover veggies, meat and/or cheese and then heated in the microwave. A product like Potato Buds by Betty Crocker makes this an easy meal snack (haha my boys don’t eat snacks they have mini meals) for a teenager.
To help your food budget you can print a 55 cent coupon for Potato Buds.
Would you like to win the prize package pictured? Well you can! And by the way that is not a small bowl pictured it is a large bamboo serving bowl. Entries are as follows…
- MANDATORY: Leave a comment telling me how you would top your potato bowl.
- Follow on RSS, Networked Blogs (Facebook), Twitter {1 entry each in separate comments}
- Comment on a non-giveaway post and let me know where you did back here
Giveaway will end 10/8 at midnight! Good luck to you all.
The product, prize pack, information and additional prize pack to give away were all given to you from Betty Crocker through MyBlogSpark.

This week I started using the Body Gospel kit by Beach Body. Body Gospel is more than an exercise program. It is a total kit including the following items.
Body Revival: This calorie-blasting cardio workout lifts your spirit, slims your body, and leaves you feeling energized all day long. (34 minutes)
Core Revelation: Lose those love handles and define your abs while slimming and trimming your thighs and backside.
(21 minutes)
Stretch in the Spirit: Increase your flexibility, reduce stress, and breathe new life into your healthy temple.
(12 minutes)
Power & Praise: An interval-training workout with Donna’s specially designed resistance bands to help tone and define your muscles while you burn fat.
(37 minutes)
Gospel Glory: An advanced body-slimming cardio workout to help shrink your hips and thighs, and flatten your tummy.
(45 minutes)
Strength & Spirit: Alternates between strength and cardio training for maximum fat and calorie burning. Sculpt and tone your body from head to toe.
(54 minutes)
Body Gospel Bands: Pro-grade resistance bands that will help you engage your core and upper and lower body–all at the same time. You’ll sculpt and define long, lean muscles with these breakthrough bands.
Body Gospel® Training Cards: Perfect for beginners or people on the move for a quick workout on the go—any time, any place.
Feed Your Body, Feed Your Soul Nutrition Guide: Lose weight and have more energy with Donna’s delicious and filling recipes for meals and snacks. You’ll stay satisfied and on track without feeling like you’re on a diet.
Total Transformation Guide: Includes a 30-day workout calendar, goal-tracking journal, and daily scripture to help strengthen your faith in God and yourself.
24/7 Online Access: Body Gospel online is truly a fellowship of fitness. Join live chats with Donna and other Body Gospel users, plus you’ll get free training tips, nutrition tools, and personal assistance from our online Coaches.
So what do you think? Isn’t this a great looking kit! I really love the Total Transformation Guide’s 30-Day workout calendar. It lets you know which workout to do which day and which days to rest. It really takes the guess work out of the program. The devotional and food guides are set up the same way.
This is a starting picture of me. I am pretty embarassed to put it up here but we all have to start someplace. I hope to have something better to show you in 30 days.
Do you like the looks of this program? If so you can sign up to win it. I am going to run this a little longer than most giveaways. I will be posting an update on my progress in 30 days and at that time I will announce a winner. This contest will end July 19th and is open to US residents only.

Dollars to Donuts Cookbook
January 23, 2010 By 95 Comments
I hoped to have this to you yesterday but unfortunately I suffer from migraines and I started the day with meetings and then poof it hit. I really wanted to share this yesterday but a day late is still a great thing.
Dawn Welch (with Raquel Pelzel) wrote the Dollar to Donuts Comfort Food & Kitchen Wisdom from Route 66′s Landmark Rock Cafe. As you can see the title is quite long but it is definately descriptive. This cookbook has so many great recipes that I am not sure which one to share with you. It also has a lot of “kitchen wisdom” or tips throughout the book.
I am wishing it was spring about now with all the snow and rain and ice we have had so I think I am going to share an easy reminds me of spring recipe.
Strawberry Dessert Soup
Serves 6 ($1.15 per serving)
1 bag (1 pound) frozen and partially thawed strawberries with juices
2 cups sour cream
3/4 cup confectioners sugar
1 tablespoon grenadine syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup half & half + 2 tablespoons (for serving)
Halve the strawberries while still partially frozen and place them in a large bowl. Add the sour cream and gently mix together with the strawberries, using a rubber spatula, until well combined. Stir in the sugar, grenadine, and vanilla, then add the 1/4 cup half & half and stir to blend. Chill for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours in a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. Shake vigorously before dividing among 6 bowls. Drizzle a little of the remaining 2 tablespoons half & half over each bowl, swirl it in, and serve.
There are several recipes in here which are likely to be new to most people. Each recipe lists servings, cost per recipe and per person. You will also find a tip or hint if it applies to the recipe. The only drawback I can find is that there is no nutritional information for each recipe. The cookbook also offers the URL www.myd2d.com which will offer menu plans and several recipes from the book.
Oh don’t you wanna win it? I bet you might wanna buy it! You can buy it at the following link Dollars to Donuts: Comfort Food and Kitchen Wisdom from Route 66′s Landmark Rock Cafe
