Bella Viva Orchards Dried Fruit Review

 
Recently I was given the chance to review a wonderful selection of dried fruit from Bella Viva Orchards. It has been many many years since I have had cried fruits and I'll admit the last ones I had were, well......not very good. When I received my package I was surprised not only by the amount but by the way these fruits looked. They were full, plump, and soft. Nothing like the dried fruits I had eaten before. The Apples were my favorite with just the right amount of tartness to make them enjoyable to snack on. The kids really enjoyed the Yellow Nectarines when I cut them into pieces they ate them just like they were fruit snacks. Now the Black Figs were a little rough to get anyone to try.lol After convincing the kids they tasted just like giant raisins my middle son bit into one and thought it was the best thing he had ever eaten! We have had such a great time eating these fruits and I am glad to have something that is healthy that they will eat. Bella Viva Orchards has such a great selection of items and you can use the code "BELLABUCKS" to get $8 off online orders at BellaViva.com now through the end of July when you order three or more of your favorite dried fruits. (Valid for orders containing 3 or more separate items. Not valid with other promotions. Expires 8/1/12)

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Homemade Fly Traps

We all love summer but as the weather gets warmer the flies get worse and worse. We have a bush out front of our house that I swear just attracts every fly in town! I wanted to get rid of them but I didn't want to kill all the wonderful butterflies it also attracts. So I went about finding a new way to kill them all. I had some empty Tazo tea bottles I simply poked a pen sized whole in the top, added 1/2 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of dish soap, and 1 tablespoon of syrup.Now I do find that these work better if you place them in the sun :O) If you want to use a bigger container simply multiply the ingredients. Make sure your hole is only about the size of a pen cap! Then they can't seem to get back out.lol

Jello Hard Candy

Most hard candies call for corn syrup, but since I was out and I have 3 children home I decided to experiment and make something fun! Here is what you need:
2 Cups of Sugar
2 Cups of Water
1 Package Sugar Free Jello
A candy Thermometer

Making candy is a pretty tricky process and trust me I messed up a batch or two getting this to work right.lol Put the sugar and water into the pot and turn on medium whisking well till the sugar is dissolved. Stirring pretty regularly to help the sugar from burning. As the sugar begin to boil turn the heat up to high. Watch your thermometer when the candy reaches 230 pour in the jello continuing to mix. Pour this mixture immediately into a cake pan that is lined with parchment paper of you can rub a little veggie oil in it. The candy will continue to cook as it melts anything over 230 you will be left with a burnt candy that tastes like licorice.lol After you candy is cooled completely turn it out onto a cookie sheet and break apart :O) I like to dust mine …

Killing Ants Safely

LOL okay I know the title seems a bit silly. Here is West Texas ants are a BIG problem. Not only do they bite, but well they are really annoying! They sneak into every crack in your house no matter how hard you try. With pets though you are very limited to the products you can safely use to kill ants. As time goes on more and more I am concerned about the products I keep in this house and the effect they have on not only me and my children, but my pets. When looking for ways to rid myself of these pests I found a simple, cheap, and effective means to do so. CORNMEAL! Yep it is very simple, for about $2 a bag I can treat weekly for an entire year! While it doesn't kill them all it has certainly brought down the population so that now it isn't even noticeable. All you do it sprinkle it on top of their mounds and watch the greedy little ants drag it all inside! When eaten it expands and POOF! ;O) You get the picture.
