Spring Mix Up Kitchen-Aid Mixer Giveaway!

Wow…we’ve known each other this long, and I just realized I’ve never introduced you to my other baby!

I’ve been in love with my sunny yellow Kitchen-Aid mixer since my husband bought it for me last year. I love the yellow color, especially because it coordinates with all the lovely earth tones in my spice rack (and speaking of spice racks, I’m considering a wall spice rack now that this baby is taking up my counter space. It’s the only con I can think of.) I got it just as we moved into our new home, and I’m not sure I’ve even turned it off since. It makes cameo appearances in lots of my food photos, and I can’t put it any more simply than this: I LOVE IT. It’s marriage material. It’s song-and-dance worthy. It’s truly the best gift I’ve ever been given, and I’m so excited that it’s going to help me make years and years’ worth of kitchen memories with my son!

But I want you to make memories too! That’s why I’ve teamed up with a group of bloggers, including our host, Mama Chocolate, to bring you the opportunity to win your own Kitchen-Aid mixer! :D Continue reading

Helping you green your laundry routine

Bring it on, 2012. I have big plans for the new year. Probably too big, but it can’t hurt to aim high right?

One thing on my lengthy list is to simply stick to my guns on things like making my home as greentastic as it can possibly be. Developing a strong eco-conscious is a journey that certainly has its ups and downs, and it really helps me to reaffirm my commitment once in a while.

So there. Reaffirmation has begun. :)

Now, on to business. One paradox I’ve noticed since getting rid of toxic household products is that while I do miss lovely scented candles (pumpkin! sugar cookie! cinnamon stick!) and room sprays, I’ve become really sensitive to them when I do come in contact with them now. Especially when it comes to laundry. So I was excited to give Tropical Traditions powdered laundry detergent a go.

 

Tropical Traditions, as a company, is dedicated to offering high quality, eco-friendly, natural products, and this laundry detergent is one of them. The ingredients panel lists soda ash, sodium percarbonate, and mild surfactants. That’s it. No perfumes or fragrances, no dyes and no phosphates, and that means nothing to harm the environment when it  decomposes. And, it leaves your clothes smelling like clothes, and nothing more. It’s safe for the environment, and safe for your family.

But does it get them clean, you ask? Yes! TT detergent safely cleans all types of clothes (except silk or wool) in all temperatures. Just add it to the washer while it’s filling, load with clothes, and wash.

Buy it!

Right now, you can get 5lb of Tropical Traditions powdered laundry detergent for the special low price of only $16.99! Visit their website to order now.

Win it!

TT has offered ABCGP readers the chance to win their own 5lb container of laundry detergent!

Crunchmaster Multi-grain Crackers: Snacking love, and a giveaway!

Ah, snacking. It really gets a bad rap, doesn’t it?

I love snacks. All kinds. Sure, there are snacks that deserve our scorn (yeah, I’m talking to YOU, Extreme Cookies and Cream!) But there are others that make up for it. Delicious, feel-good snacks that give you that crunchy, snacky satisfaction without all the guilt.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to introduce you to Crunchmaster Multi-grain Crackers!

I know, I know. A cracker might not sound all that exciting. After all, it’s just a vehicle for whatever yummy cracker-topper you’re loading it with, right? Wrong! I’m a firm believer that no matter how good the dip or cheese may be, if you start out with an inferior vehicle, well, it’s all down hill from there.

No such worries with these babies. I served them recently at my son’s 2nd birthday party, and everyone loved them. The white cheddar flavor was the runaway favorite (especially dipped in the guacamole and spinach dips) and my husband and little man have been crunchin’ on them ever since! (Toddler-friendly = bonus!)

Why I think YOU might like Crunchmaster crackers:

  • They have a unique texture, kind of like those super-crunchy Japanese rice snacks. Stands up well to any kind of dip, with no chance of sogginess.
  • They are oven-baked and have 65% less fat than regular multi-grain chips.
  • They are a good source of fiber, free of saturated fat and cholesterol, certified gluten-free and contain 21 g of whole grains per serving
  • Most importantly to me, many of the items Crunchmaster produces, including the original flavor multi-grain crackers, are certified GMO-free!

Not bad, right? Now let’s get down to business…how can YOU try them?

You could check your local grocery store, because they’re available nationwide (4.5 oz. for $2.50 to $3.99, 20 oz. for $7.48 to $7.59) or, you could enter to win a whole case of certified gluten-free white cheddar Crunchmaster crackers right here at ABCGP! Woot!

Just enter using the easy Rafflecopter form below! Happy crunching! :)
