Fannie May Easter Basket Review/Giveaway
April 3, 2012 By 8 Comments
(Still images will get you every-time)
Have you been looking for an Easter Basket to give to family, friends or co-workers? Look no further! Fannie May has just what you need in the chocolaty goodness department.
A taste of Fannie May History:
The first Fannie May retail store was opened by H. Teller Archibald in 1920 at 11 N. LaSalle St. in Chicago. By 1935, there were nearly four dozen retail stores in Illinois and several neighboring states. During World War II, while other companies chose to change their recipes when ingredients were scarce, Fannie May stuck with its exact recipes, making only what it could which often meant closing shops early because no more candy was available – never was the taste of the candy compromised.
Through the years Fannie May developed candies that went on to become favorites that were often the center of many family and holiday traditions. Quality has always been the driving force behind the making of Fannie May chocolates. Fannie May stands by all its products and for over 90 years has provided high quality gourmet chocolates with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
My Review
I was sent one of their baskets for review which included: a three oz. milk chocolate bunny, six oz. white chocolate bunny, 2.3 oz. peanut butter button egg, an assortment of four, two oz. cream eggs (one of each flavor: fruit & nut, chocolate butter cream “green may,” yellow butter cream and raspberry cream), seven oz. mint cookie cluster gable (individually wrapped), six oz. jelly bird eggs and three, one oz. chocolate bunny pops.
Once we all had a chance to taste the delicious treats, our expectations were indeed met. My kids enjoyed the milk chocolate bunny pops, jelly beans and the mint cookie clusters. I was really excited to see that the mint cookie clusters were individually wrapped which makes them easy to toss in my purse for an on the go treat. All the other items in the basket were exceptionally delicious and I was also glad to see that the box everything came in is reusable.

Walgreens Android App
April 1, 2012 By 1 Comment
The best thing since sliced bread!!! Oh yeah! I downloaded the Walgreens App on my HTC 3 D, months ago and forgot about it. However, a couple weeks ago I was about to call in some prescriptions that needed refilling and remembered to use the app. Talk about making life easier.
Now, all I have to do is use the bar-code scanner, scan the bar-code on my prescription box and the prescription is submitted for refill.
I also have it set that whenever I refill a prescription, I receive a text message to my phone.
If you use Walgreens and want to make it easier on you when refilling your families prescriptions, I definitely advice that you download the App.
Sunday Dinner: T-Bone Steaks
April 1, 2012 By 2 Comments
Today we have T-Bone Steaks, Rice & Gravy and some veggies on the menu. I recently became comfortable with cooking my steaks on top of the stove with the help of using my favorite marinate. Italian dressing is my go to for marinating any meat that I cook. I marinate my steaks with Italian dressing by placing them in large ziploc bags and let them set in the fridge overnight. The next day, I cook them in a skillet no longer than 15 minutes and they are extremely tender and deli-sh.
Do you cook T-Bone Steaks and if so, do you marinate them?
