Does your family love bold flavors? When they hear the word Jalapeño do they say, “BRING IT ON”? If your family is tired of flavorless sausage, Jacks Link’s can  satisfy their WILD SIDE. It is time for meat lovers to rejoice because Jack Link’s Wild Side Sausages are available at Walmart and come in great flavors like Original, Jalapeño, Cheddar and Bacon Jerky.

Recently I was shopping in Walmart when I saw the Jack Link’s Wild Side Sausages in the Packaged Deli section. I picked up several packages. I knew my family would love them because they are crazy about bold, flavor-filled taste. I chose the Jalapeño, Cheddar and Bacon Jerky varieties. I really liked that they are high in protein, had no fillers or added MSG, no artificial flavors or colors and are made with premium cuts of beef & pork. I was happy to see they were also on rollback pricing and only $3.48 a package from now until Memorial Day! These sausages and brats are great by themselves or in a recipe!

My family loves variety so I decided that we would make a great dinner of grilled Jack Link’s Wild Side sausage, peppers and onions sliders and grilled sausage and sausage, pepper and onion pizzas. I would serve them with a nice spring salad and fresh lemonade.

The sausage cook up fast on the grill since they are fully cooked. To make the Sausage Pepper and Onion Sliders we first cut up 2 large onions.

Next  we cut up red, orange and yellow peppers. You can use any type of peppers you want.

We have a grill pan that is made for cooking vegetables on the grill, so  we used that to cook the onions and peppers. We put them in the pan,  added some olive oil and tossed them. Then we put the pan on the grill and kept a close eye, turning them every couple of minutes until they were done.

We also had the sausage on the grill at the same time. The sausages were done first and inside we had coated different size pre-made pizza shells with olive oil.

Then we added pizza sauce which we also bought pre-made.

We added mozzarella cheese and then topped them with sliced  Jack Link’s sausage hot off the grill. We kept the kids small pizzas with just the sausage and added peppers and onions to the large pizza.

Cooking pizza on the grill is fast and so you need to be watchful. My husband manned the grill while I made the salad. I also made the sausage, peppers and onions sliders.

I cut large hero rolls in half and then stuffed them with sausage pepper and onions. We used all 3 kinds of sausage so that everyone can choose what they want.

When you cut the sausage in slices or in half you can see whether it is cheddar or Jalapeño or Bacon Jerky so that is a plus.

When the pizzas were ready it was time to dig in. We also made some homemade ice cold lemonade.

Needless to say my family love this bold flavorful dinner, tons of variety and big on taste! It was something we will be doing again very soon. Has your family tried Jack Link’s Wild Side Sausage? I would love to know if you have and hear about your favorite recipe. Please let me know in the comments.

How To Light Up Your Music– #Giveaway

When I was younger my mom bought these awesome radios that looked like they had a TV screen in the center. She bought 3 of them and they were all different colors. When you turned the radio on, the “TV screen” would light up with colored lights that flashed in beat with the music. One of my friends loved then so much, she still talks about them till this day.

Technology has surely changed since the late 70’s hasn’t it? It is amazing how far we have come.

A Great Way To Entertain Outside Without Getting Burned!

So happy to be seeing some nice weather, spring really arrived because Sunday I saw my first Robin Red Breast! The trees are budding and the daffodils are coming up. I love watching all the birds that visit our home and feeders throughout the day. I think one of my favorite things to do is to sit on the porch with a cup of coffee and my camera and spend some time with nature.

We love to be outdoors when the weather is nice. We are planning a lot of outdoor projects and enhancements to make our yard, deck, porch and gardens more of an outdoor oasis for family, friends and entertaining.

We will be re-staining our deck as soon as the weather is consistent enough for that. So once the deck is all revitalized we thought since it is so large, it would be nice to have a shady area since it gets a lot of sun.

That was when I started looking for a shade type gazebo awning. I found one I liked from Abba Patio and it was available right on Amazon. that was nice since I have Amazon Prime and it would be shipped to my house quickly and for free.

gazebo

It is very nice quality and was not hard for my husband and I to put together. We set it up on the lawn since we have to stain the deck but we will update with photos when we have it set on the deck. The nice thing is you can secure it through the feet so you don’t have to worry about severe weather causing it to topple or get thrown around.

It is heavy-duty and the canvas top provides UV protection and is fade resistant. The light color works well to reflect heat and it provides a large enough space for a patio table and chairs or an outdoor seating group underneath. We are really looking forward to having everything set up on the deck and entertaining with our family and friends this spring and summer.

 

Product Features:

  • Beige polyester top-long lasting, fade resistant, easy to clean and 98% UV protection
  • Quick and easy set up with 2 or more people by easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions
  • Foot pads are installed to the canopy legs for added stability and easy access to secure anchor points
  • 2-1/5 inch diameter powder coated steel leg tube resists chipping, peeling, rust and corrosion and provides increased stability
  • Heavy-duty bungee cord tightly secure the tarp cover to the fram

Check out the video below of how we assembled it and to see more of this great portable, tent gazebo by Abba Patio.

Would love to know what you have planned for your home and garden spring and summer projects. Let me know in the comments. Enjoy the season!

Is Your Moisturizer Killing You? #Giveaway

Anyone that knows me, knows that I do not like using any type of toxic products. You will not find Bounce dryer sheets, Tide detergent, Cascade, Scrubbing Bubbles etc in my home. I will not expose my family to those carcinogens. As the mother of a cancer survivor, I wish everyone would become more aware of the toxic chemicals that manufactures try to shove down consumers’ throats. They think nothing of poisoning consumers so that their profit is greater and they can pass more along to their number one priority which is their stockholders.

Beauty and skin care products can be some of the most toxic products around. It is scary thinking that people spread these toxic products all over their skin which is the largest organ in the body. It makes me cringe. This does not mean that I forgo beauty products, it just means that I do my research and choose healthier options. Recently I discovered Mascli. Mascli is on a mission that aligns with my ideals. They want to bring awareness to consumers of the dangers in the products that line the store shelves and beauty care aisles. They want to provide healthier,safer, non-toxic alternatives that are far superior to the products most consumers are using.

I recently tried a bottle of their anti-aging moisturizer called Awakening. Awakening comes in a glass bottle with a chrome color pump top. It is beautiful on the outside but the ingredients on the inside are where the true beauty is. Awakening uses 100% certified organic oils and vitamins E & C, Minerals, Antioxidants and Omega 3 6 9 Fatty Acids. It is a unisex moisturizer perfect for men or women and won’t leave men smelling flowery or perfumey.

mascli 2

You might expect a moisturizer to be a lotion or cream but Awakening is a mix of essential oils and so the consistency is like that. It does not feel greasy and it smells nice. It absorbs quickly and hydrates skin. It is recommended to use 2 times a day so I apply in the morning and then apply my makeup right on top. You rub it on your face and neck with your fingertips in circular upward motion. Highest concentration should be on the brow area and the jaw line. At night after cleansing my face, I reapply and just go to bed. It is really working to hydrate my skin, making it firmer and gives it a healthy glow.

Awakening is a revolutionary product and I have not run across any other anti-aging moisturizer like it. Watch my video review below to see more.

We are moving into spring, the weather is warming up and soon the kids will be out of school for summer. Are you looking for fun outdoor things to do? How about camping? Even if it is in your own backyard, a family camping trip can be fun. You can start the night off with a fire in the fire pit, make s’mores, catch fireflies, have a sing a long and just talk and reconnect under the stars.tent pic 1

Kids have a blast camping out and you will make memories to last a lifetime. If you are looking for a nice 3 season tent for 2-3 people, you might want to take a look at the Semoo lightweight, waterproof, 3 Season Tent. This tent has a fun, vibrant orange color scheme. It is easy to set up. We put a tarp under ours. It comes packed in a duffel bag so that it is easy to transport.

The tent has a large front door with a screen window and the back of the tent features a screen window too! There are interior pockets on the left and right side of the interior of the tent. These pockets are great to hold your wallet, smartphone or smaller items.

Are You Storing Your Essential Oils Properly?

I love essential oils and my stash was getting a bit out of control. I needed a place to store it all so the search for a quality essential oil bag started. I recently ordered a Gogobag Essential Oil Case and I am so happy! It is a nice hard shell case with dual zipper closure and carry handle.

It holds 30 bottles of 10ml and 15ml oils according to the manufacturer’s description but it also held 5ml bottles. I love that it holds so many bottles so I can easily store it anywhere and it is effortless now for me to take my oils anywhere. Great when we are traveling too. The cases are black and available with either blue, green or pink accent coloring.
