Simply Snackin a Great Snack for Your Lunchboxes

With the school year fast approaching, we are constantly looking for great snacks to add to our children's lunchboxes. Something not only fun but healthy as well. Recently we were given the chance to review some great products from Simply Snackin. Are dried meat snacks packed with protein and low in calories. One of the best parts for our family is they are Gluten free as well. We received a great variety of snacks to try from simplysnackin.com which included the following flavors.

Beef Sirloin with cranberries & blueberries
Beef Sirloin with apples & cherries
Teriyaki Beef Sirloin with pineapples
Chicken Breast with black bean salsa
Italian Chicken Breast with Romano cheese
Teriyaki Chicken Breast with mangoes & papayas

I was really surprised what a great size these were. They seemed much larger then a "regular" dried meat snack. I really loved the flavor of them all but the two Teriyaki flavors were really my favorite. The dried Teriyaki Beef Sirloin with pineapples had little chunks of pineapple that not only gave it a nice texture but really added to the flavor. In fact all the these great flavors were like that, from dried cherries to pineapples each had little bits of flavor throughout. Another great part was the ease of chewing, I know that sounds really weird but have you ever had a piece of jerky that hurt your jaw?? Not with Simply Snackin.

At 60 calories a piece, with a half of a gram of fat or less there are a perfect snack to add to your lunchbox line-up. And with 8 grams of protein or more it will give you that boost you need to keep going.
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.

#Cozycatfurniture Growing up Kitty with Ginger

It has been so many years since we have had a kitten around the house I think I had forgotten just how active and amazing they are! I am sure many of you have seen me talk about Ginger our baby. She is FeLV positive, and just days short of her 7 month birthday. We also have 2 other boys with are getting up there in age. Thomas has always been a scratcher and I admit I had never thought about getting a kitty tree before this. Earlier in the month a great opportunity to review the Kitty Condo Tree from Cozy Cat Furniture came about I thought oh great Ginger will have a place to nap, play, learn, and most importantly SCRATCH! It Arrived in a box which I have to admit scared me a bit at first, it was much small then I thought.....was the tree smaller....was this one of those "some adult assembly required" items? Luckily it was easy to put together and came out so much sturdier then I had expected. Even before we could give the word go Ginger was eager to play a

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 li

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.
