Dinner in Marksville x 3

Have been quite busy so I didn't get around to putting up my posts so here they are. Thursday I went shopping after my husband got out of college. I am a big coupon shopper and I new this was going to be a big order 3 carts actually for $150.00 to be exact and to think this store has triple coupons next week, so excited.

One of the deals we were able to get were Freshetta Pizza's for $3.24 each dinner done for Thursday night, we then stopped to feed the girls, they were home with the stomach flu that is going around these parts. Then after we went to Walmart to pick up a few other things we needed. Stopped by to drop of my Grand daughter Lainy's Birthday Presents, then I had enough time to drop my husband and Deanna off before heading off to Girl Scouts with Dorothy.

When we were done with Girl Scouts, we stopped to get chicken, and apple juice that was on sale at our IGA store. Next was over to do my merchandising jobs, with a quick stop to the Dollar store to finish off the Valentines Presents I have been working on for my girls. Then we made a quick stop to Kmart and took advantage of their 90% off sale, and I found a pair of King Size Sheets for 24.99. Grabbed those because King Size is so expensive.

Then we filled up on gas and headed home, where we had pizza and wings for dinner. I usually do a Salad but forgot to pick up a green to make one with.

Friday was pretty quite, Dorothy ended up staying home again because during the night she started vomiting again. This stomach bug was really holding on. Stayed home and just relaxed with the family after a long week of 3 of my girls being sick as well as one of my grand daughters.

We had Candied Chicken over white rice with green beans and carrots. The only thing I would change with this recipe would be to use less water and maybe even make the chicken pieces smaller. It tasted a lot like the Sweet Chicken my husband likes to get at the Chinese Buffet.

Today came with some snow. Basketball Game was canceled so we just picked up my News Papers, gotta get those coupons. I buy 10 papers a week. Other then that we have pretty much all done our own thing. We are getting ready to have dinner now which is Very Greek Grilled Chicken, couscous with pine nuts, and spinach with garlic and nutmeg. 

I didn't change the recipes so I am just listing the links in the names of the recipes. I will say however that the Green Seasoning for the Very Greek Grilled Chicken I was able to find the recipe for online under Greek Seasoning.

Going to finish the night off with some Rice Pudding. What did you have for dinner? 

Pet Stain Remover and Odor Eliminator - Prof Grade Review




With having 6 children 2 grand children 1 Saint Bernard and 5 Cats I am sure you can imagine our rugs get quite the work out. When our now 17 year old would forget to walk our Saint she would pee on the floor outside of her room which is a wall to wall carpet in a hallway that is used everyday. Now that my 12 year old is walking her she tends to pee in the downstairs bathroom although I am not sure why she changed spots. It is easier to clean because it is a flat surface and it doesn't happen that often.

Being married, raising our own children, and countless others over the years, we have never owned a steam cleaner before. That is until we had our grand children. We bought our steam cleaner a while back but only recently opened and set it up. My rugs now look better then when we moved in, but I never did the stairs.

Before our steam cleaner my husband would scrub up any of the messes from the pets or grand children. but a few years back he fell at work and had a total quad tear, it never did heal all of the way, so he can't do this anymore, with my Fibromyalgia is wasn't going to happen either, hence the steam cleaner purchase. 

Our Saint recently had a urinary infection and someone had locked the upstairs gate so she ended up peeing on the bottom ledge of our stair way. We put the rug there so at least when we move out the damage was on something we put in and not something of the landlord's. It has dried, been trampled on thousands of times with feet going up and down the stairs. I just never thought it would come out. 

I have to tell you I love my steam cleaner, and combining it with this Pro Vet Choice Pet Stain Remover and Odor Eliminator - Prof Grade , I am very happy with the results.

Nutritional Yeast Superfood Review




I have heard about Nutritional Yeast before but didn't really know how to use or what to even use it on. Then someone said that it has a cheesy taste and that if you pair it with say popcorn, potatoes, tacos, or salad, then I thought I might just be able to try this. 

The first thing I did was open the package and take a wiff. It does smell kind of cheesy so lets give it a try. So here I am after eating this on popcorn and my thoughts are I am going to use this more often. It does taste cheesy and this is something I can put on the children's food and they won't be able to taste the difference. I am really happy with this. 


What is even better about this Nutritional Yeast Superfood is that it is Vegan friendly. I have a daughter who just recently became Vegetarian, being a mom the first thing I worried about was if she was going to eat the right foods so that she wouldn't have any vitamin loss. So far she is dong great and we are on the same page as her. Along the path our whole family is making even better choices with food then we were before. 



You can purchase Nutritional Yeast Superfood on Amazon.



What SariFoods has to say about their product.
Why choose Natural, Non-Fortified Nutritional Yeast? 
Most nutritional yeast products are fortified with excessive amounts of synthetic vitamins to increase the nutritional count. We believe that synthetic, man-made vitamins are not only unnecessary, but that they can be harmful and toxic to our bodies, causing nutrient imbalances and forcing our kidneys and liver to work overtime while our bodies struggle to absorb them.
We can promise you this: the abundance of vitamins & nutrients plus the delicious cheese flavor found in this bag of molasses-grown nutritional yeast are 100% whole food based and naturally occurring - nothing synthetic here - just as nature intended! 
Our nutritional yeast is comprised of 50% protein (a complete, bioavailable and vegan source), over 20% fiber, contains all 18 amino acids and 15 different minerals (including iron, selenium and zinc) as well as a natural vitamin B-complex and Beta-glucans (known for their extreme immune enhancing properties).

Here are a few of the benefits of adding Nutritional Yeast to your diet:

OPTIMIZE YOUR HEALTH WITH SUPER NUTRIENTS. Our Nutritional Yeast is naturally comprised of 50% protein (a complete, bioavailable and vegan source), over 20% fiber, contains all 18 amino acids and 15 different minerals (including iron, selenium and zinc) as well as a natural vitamin B-complex and Beta-glucans (known for their extreme immune enhancing properties plus their ability to lower bad cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and some cancers).
LOSE WEIGHT NATURALLY. Enjoy guilt-free deliciousness with this salty, creamy, nutty, cheese-tasting superfood that can be sprinkled on just about everything and is bound to become your secret weapon in weight loss! In addition to being extremely low in calories, fat and sodium, it is dairy free, gluten free, MSG free and chocked full of vitamins, minerals, fiber and protein. Thank you mother nature! ***For cooking inspiration, you will receive a free Nutritional Yeast Recipe Ebook (50+ yummy recipes) — emailed to you after purchase.***
FIGHT AGING & FREE RADICALS. With highly absorbable amounts of nucleotides (the building blocks of DNA & RNA), Nutritional Yeast promotes cellular repair and regeneration. Then, by combining the two antioxidants glutathione and selenium, our Nutritional Yeast Flakes create a special enzyme called glutathione peroxidase that is known to neutralize free radicals and protect us from their damage.
END YOUR ENERGY CRISIS. 15-40% of Americans are deficient in B vitamins which can lead to deep and ongoing fatigue, brain fog, irritability, depression, and even insomnia (as they play a crucial role in melatonin production). The body depends on B6 to make the hormones serotonin and norepinephrine, which affect both mood and feelings of happiness. Improved Vitamin B intake helps us sleep well and helps balance our hormones. increase our energy levels, clarity & overall mental function.

Lovely Lashes Eyelash Curler Review




Lovely Lashes Eyelash Curler is the second eyelash curler I have used and works really well. My favorite is still my first but we have a long time relationship. What I like about the Lovely Lashes Eyelash Curler is that it comes with a extra Silicone Refill pad. Super easy to change out. For some reason I thought it would be hard to change out. Not true at all. 

This curler will be passed on to my daughter so she has one of her own. My girls like I do not wear a lot of makeup. They found their one best attribute and they emphasize it. With my girls it was their eyes. I wanted a eyelash curler for my daughters that was easy to use and easy to change out the pad as well as being a low cost option. The Lovely Lashes Eyelash Curler was able to come through on everyone of these for me.

You can purchase the Lovely Lashes Eyelash Curler On Amazon.

Astor Custom Fit Outdoor Loveseat Cover Review



The Astor Custom Fit Outdoor Loveseat Cover is just as awesome as the Armchair cover. Between the vents and toggle switch switch to keep the cover tightly on you have the best that I have ever seen anyways weather protection. 

As in my other post I can see this being used inside as well on furniture that is not used, or maybe even in a vacation home. I am in love with the Astor line and look forward to bringing you more reviews about their products in the future. 

I didn't have to fight to get this on our furniture like you have to with others on the market, and it covers the furniture completely so nothing but the bottom is exposed. I am hoping they make a cover for grills, then I will be in complete heaven. 

Awesome products that are useful and work like they claim. 



You can purchase the Astor Custom Fit Outdoor Loveseat Cover on Amazon.

What Astor has to say about their product. 


Rain, snow, ice, sun, wind and mold are no match for this rugged fabric protector - with its snug, adjustable fit, it will keep your outdoor loveseat safe, clean and dry all year round.
4 Season Fabric

Double your peace of mind with two levels of protection: an outer surface that sheds precipitation and won't crack in cold temperatures, plus a PVC undercoating that stops water in its tracks. This heavy-duty material is sewn with strong, interlocking seams to withstand years of wear and tear.
Failsafe Fit

No matter how the wind blows, you can be sure this cover won't be going anywhere. Built into the hem is an elasticized cord with toggle stop that you tighten under the bottom edges of the seat. Then for good measure, straps at each corner wrap around the loveseat's legs and secure in place with a one-click buckle. Your loveseat is completely protected, not just from above but also from any water that might splash up from the ground.
Wind and Moisture Control

Mesh air vents prevent condensation from building up under the cover, so mold and mildew never get a chance to grow. The vents also help reduce ballooning caused by wind gusts. But while they allow the air to circulate, their overlapping edges keep everything else out.
Easy to Put On and Take Off

Sturdy, padded handles let you simply slide the cover into place, then pull it off whenever you want to enjoy your outdoor living space again.
3 Year Warranty

The sturdy, reliable service of this loveseat cover is backed by a full 3 year warranty against damage by dry rot, sun exposure, mold or mildew. Your loveseat will come out from under cover looking as good as it did when it went in!
