Dreaming Of A New Kitchen
January 22, 2012 By Leave a Comment
If I could change one thing about my house it would be the kitchen. My kitchen is small and I have always wanted a large and open kitchen. I have had thoughts of doing a little kitchen remodeling that would include adding on to our current kitchen. It would be possible, but definitely a ton of work would need to be involved.
Thinking of my dream kitchen, it would be open, large and cheerful. I would also LOVE to someday have a huge spice rack. I have thought of a pull out spice rack, but check out this one…
I would be in heaven if I had my spices and cooking goodies organized like this.
When it comes to cooking, I LOVE having all kinds of spices and condiments on hands. Food needs flavor and I have always have fun using different spices and such to prepare yummy meals for my family. The only problem is I don’t have enough space for all the stuff I would like to keep on hand. I have a spice rack, but would love a spice pantry!
So if you could change one thing about your kitchen, what would it be?

Easy Chocolate Cake Recipe
January 13, 2012 By 3 Comments
“This is my entry to the Hotpoint family baking competition”
One thing that I LOVE to cook is cakes. For me, making a cake from scratch can be better than a store bought cake. I make a chocolate cake that is super easy, from scratch and needs no frosting. You can use frosting, but I like to use powdered sugar with this one. For this recipe, I just throw all the ingredients in one bowl and mix. This is a super yummy cake that goes really FAST at my house.

Walgreen’s Prescription Savings Club January Promo
January 13, 2012 By Leave a Comment
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Not only is eating your fruits and vegetables good for you, so is taking care of your health which includes taking all your vitamins and prescriptions each month!
For those that do not have insurance and spend out of pocket cash on your prescriptions, Walgreens offers a way to save money on both brand name and generic prescriptions with their Walgreens Prescription Savings Club. With this promotion, you can sign up your family for only $10. As a member, you will receive savings on more than 8,000 brand name and all generic medications.
For me, I prefer Walgreens over most of the other pharmacies because my local Walgreens is open 24 hours and even offers a drive-thru service. When I need medicine in the middle of the night, I always know I can count on Walgreens to be open, even on the holidays.
For those that are affected by the Walgreens and Express Script disruption of service last month, this might be a great way to save money if you are now paying out of pocket costs if you choose to keep refilling at Walgreens.
Remember, this promotion is only good this month! For more information, please find:
