This post about Red Robin Restaurants has been sponsored. The Red Robin information and gift cards have been provided by Red Robin. All opinions are my own. Red Robin Restaurant FUN! Last year, a Red Robin Restaurant opened up not too far from us. We drive by it every couple of months and have mentioned giving it a try several times but never seem to find the time. You know how it is, right? Always rushing to or from a practice or meeting? Or you drive by right after you have already pulled out something for dinner that night? When I … [Read more...]
Almond Butter Protein Bar Recipe with Premier Protein
April 20, 2015 by · 8 Comments
This Almond Butter Protein Bar Recipe has been sponsored by Premier Protein but all opinions expressed are my own. #MyGoodEnergy #TeamPremier I spend a lot of time in the 'healthy and natural' section of the grocery store. This is good for my health but not always good for my wallet. I tend to spend an awful lot of money on groceries when I really need to be making some of these things from scratch. Protein bars are a great way to boost energy after a workout or fill up a hungry teenager after a busy day at school. Even starting your … [Read more...]
Homemade Meatball Sub Recipe and #PublixVivaItalia Night
February 16, 2015 by · 117 Comments
The information, products and giveaway prize in this Homemade Meatball Sub Recipe were provided by General Mills through Linqia. Some nights I have plenty of time to sit around while a whole chicken roasts in the oven and some nights I barely have time to throw a bowl of cereal down in front of a hungry kid. While I love to cook from scratch, a busy schedule with two active teens doesn't always make that possible. I have found, however, that the key to getting a healthy, homemade meal on the table every night of the week is GOOD … [Read more...]

Atlanta Bloggers Celebrate Spring with Great American Cookies! #BrownieBling
March 22, 2014 by · 86 Comments
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Great American Cookies. Blogging can be a rather solitary business. Sure, we say that we work in Social Media but usually that just means we are 'social' with people online. Our blogging friends, followers, and fans interact with us via computer but only occasionally do we actually get to hang out with each other in person. When bloggers DO get together with each other in person you can bet there will be food involved. This week, I had the pleasure of hanging out with a few of my … [Read more...]
How to Get More Guacamole in Your Diet

This guacamole post has been sponsored by Wholly Guacamole but all opinions expressed here are my own. As my husband and I have gotten older, we have realized that it is not quite as easy to stay healthy as it was when we were younger. Or, maybe we just never really cared much when we were in our 20's. A couple of decades really changes your outlook on life. Now we find ourselves looking at things like salt content and calories. We listen to health reports on the news about what we SHOULD be eating and what we should be avoiding. Over … [Read more...]
Be Your Own Barista and RaceTrac Giveaway #BeYourOwnBarista
March 10, 2014 by · 7 Comments
This post has been sponsored by RaceTrac but all opinions expressed here are my own. Spring break is coming quickly and my family will hopefully be on the road to visit family. When my husband and I travel, we end up drinking an awful lot of coffee. Sometimes, in order to make it safely through 3 AM back woods roads the only thing keeping our eyes open is a large mug full of steaming hot java! He, of course, takes his coffee black with no sweeteners, no flavor and (I think) no personality! I am a light, sweet, and preferably peppermint … [Read more...]
My Black Friday Wish List and a $100 Khols GC Giveaway
November 21, 2013 by · 2 Comments
This black Friday wish list and Giveaway has been sponsored by Coupons.com but all opinions expressed are my own. Black Friday is one day of the year that I refuse to actually step foot in a store. I have never been a huge fan of crowds but I AM a huge fan of saving money. Just because I am hanging around the house in fuzzy slippers and relaxing with family doesn't mean I can't find some great deals on the hottest must have items of the season. I can find some great black friday deals just by browsing the internet and using coupon codes … [Read more...]
