Our water here is less than desirable. Sometimes it smells funny. Sometimes it tastes funny. And sometimes we have both the weird smell and taste at the same time. I shudder to think what is in our water so normally we use the filtered water out of the refrigerator. That can get frustrating and we have talked many times about installing a purifier on our sink or getting a pitcher. But how do you choose? There are so many on the market these days that it makes it difficult. In comes the ZeroWater Pitcher!

ZeroWater Pitcher

I like the look of it. It isn’t too large or too small, fits perfectly in the refrigerator, and wow, does the water ever taste good! It has a built in TDS meter, which helps put a number on what your taste buds already tell you about what’s in water. The higher the reading on the water, the more things dissolved in water. It shows the total number of detectable dissolved solids. You can even see what the reading in your area are by visiting their website at: http://www.zerowater.com/

Want to know more? You can find ZeroWater on Facebook. By visiting  http://shopping2.zerowater.com/10cuppitcher.aspx and using coupon code MC30, you will receive a 30% off of a 10 Cup ZeroWater pitcher

You scream, I scream, we all scream for Ice Cream!!!
It is getting to that time of year where we stock up on more and more of our favorite treats. We are a big ice cream family. Here in the South the days are starting to get longer and hotter and there is just nothing better than a cool treat to help cool off. The problem with loving ice cream is all of the calories and fat that come with it. Thank goodness we now have options such as the new Weight Watcher line of cool treats to help us cool off AND save calories at the same time without the loss of any flavor.
Weight Watchers Double Caramel Swirl
  • WW Snack Size Double Caramel Swirl Ice Cream Cones

This happens to be my personal favorite! But, I am a caramel lover. These snack size treats are the perfect size for a snack to cure your craving without loading you down with calories that bust your diet wide open.

Weight Watchers Vanilla Fudge Swirl

  • WW Snack Size Vanilla Fudge Swirl Ice Cream Cones

These are pretty dang good too!!

Weight Watchers Divine Triple Chocolate

  • WW Divine Triple Chocolate Dessert Bar

These are Bric’s favorite! He ate the whole box before I even got around to trying one. Of course, he loves chocolate and ice cream so he was in heaven.

Weight Watchers Cherry Cheesecake Ice Cream Sandwiches

  • WW Snack Size Cherry Cheesecake Ice Cream Sandwiches

Now these, these are Tate’s favorite. He even made smoothies out of them, which were DELICIOUS!

Tates Smoothie

Tate created the recipe, he made the smoothie and he even took a picture of it for you.

1 Weight Watchers Cherry Cheesecake Ice Cream Sandwich

3 scoops Low-fat strawberry Greek Yogurt

7 ice cubes

Allow the ice cream sandwich to soften a bit and then put all of the ingredients in the blender. Blend on low until everything is mixed well and the ice cubes are crushed really well. Makes 1 serving. Enjoy.

These products should be in stores now! You can learn more about Weight Watchers Ice Cream and other supermarket foods by becoming a fan of the Facebook page Facebook.com/WeightWatchersSupermarketFoods.

 

 Weight Watchers Ice Cream provided free samples for me and my family to try,  but all opinions are my own and were in no way influenced by receipt of product.

French’s Mustard, Sloppy Joes and my Favorite Breakfast!

French's Logo

Mustard holds a special place in my heart.

It is my FAVORITE condiment.

Shhh, don’t tell but I hate mayonnaise so when I make a sandwich, mine always has mustard on it. And it has to be French’s. Ohhhh my tangy friend how I love thee.

It is also an integral part of my all time favorite breakfast:

sausage biscuit with mustard

Yep, a sausage biscuit with mustard!

Hey now…don’t knock it till you try it.

My friend Christy and I were on a road trip when she first discovered just how delicious it is. She thought I was insane when I told her to ask for mustard the first morning I ordered a sausage biscuit. Then she tried it and got hooked for life.

potato salad with mustard

I use mustard in my potato salad.

baked beans with mustard

In my baked beans.

And so many other foods and recipes that if I go on we are going to be here all day.

But it isn’t just yellow mustard:

mustard

Honey Mustard, great on chicken nuggets. Spicy brown mustard, perfect with corned beef. Dijon Mustard, fabulous on baked chicken.

And one of my all time favorite recipes using mustard?

Sloppy Joes!

french's mustard sloppy joes

Get your ingredients together.

brown ground beef

Brown your ground beef and onions.

french's sloppy joes

Throw everything together.

French's Sloppy Joes

Eat and Enjoy!

They are so easy and delicious, two of my favorite attributes!

And French’s has the best Sloppy Joe recipe, you just have to try it!!

French's Slopy Joes recipe

 These never last long in my house, they are so much better than any sloppy joe you can make with canned sauce and they are so easy!!

So, what is YOUR favorite way to use mustard?

“French’s supplied me with samples to help facilitate this post. But I really have always used French’s mustard because it truly is my favorite. And even though you may think I have lost my mind by putting mustard on a sausage biscuit, you should try it. I have been eating mine that way since I was a very young child. Cause that is the way my granddaddy always fixed them for me. I never knew it wasn’t normal until I became an adult and people would look at me like I had lost my mind.”

X Out Acne!

X-Out Acne Treatment

My teen is like any other…ok, so maybe not. But skincare is not at the top of his list of things to do. A complicated skin care routine and acne treatment regimen just isn’t going to happen. Just getting him to wash his face after an intense workout at the karate studio is worse than pulling teeth. Teenagers want quick and easy and while skin care is important in my eyes, it just isn’t in his.

 X Out’s easy one-step Wash-In acne treatment offers a hassle-free solution to kill breakout-causing bacteria for a fresh, clear and confident appearance. While Tate’s acne can range from moderate to severe it still doesn’t motivate him to take more time to solve the problem so when we were offered to test drive X Out’s EASY, one-step treatment I literally jumped on the opportunity and squealed with glee! I know that clear skin will boost Tate’s confidence and make such a huge difference for him. Here is a before picture and while his acne isn’t as bad in this picture as it can get he already has some scarring which I hope X Out with prevent anymore in the future.

Tate acne

If your teen has breakouts, X Out’s Wash-In acne treatment can help as either a daily face wash, spot treatment, or mask. With the acne fighting power of benzoyl peroxide and a sulfate-free solution, X Out can help teens with multiple skin types treat their acne. For tech-savvy teens looking for a little more distraction, X Out’s QR code leads them to entertaining comedy, sports or fashion videos all timed to the product’s recommended 2-minute washing period. 

 

While the bottle is a little hard to figure out at first,  the design and packaging are great! Tate has been using X Out’s Wash-In acne treatment for several days and so far we are already seeing great results! I can’t wait to see and show you the results in a few weeks!!
