Torani Syrups Review & Giveaway, Ends 12/17/12

I am a baking fiend this time of year -- well, all year to be honest.  I love adding flavoured syrup to my batters for bread, cookies, cakes, and muffins.  I also love to add flavours to my coffee,  milkshakes, and smoothies.

I've found a marvelous selection of flavours at Torani.com!  The variety is endless! They even have a wide selection of  Sugar-Free syrups! My soon-to-be Son-in-Law loves that -- he's diabetic -- and this really makes him happy!

I received two large bottles of Torani Syrup recently:
Vanilla Bean Syrup:

Vanilla gets serious. Seriously exotic. Take your senses on an adventure to Madagascar with this syrup. First, the aroma: seductive and inviting. It's a pleasant prelude to the rich and complex. Taste the natural Bourbon vanilla bean flavor, and notes of earthy warm oak. Sounds alluring? You bet it is. Fix a drink and relax.

And Pumpkin Pie Syrup

Have your pie and drink it too. Add the rich creaminess of the pumpkin pie filling to your coffee and feel the holiday cheer. Nutmeg, cinnamon and other spices murmur softly in the background. What's that you say? Pour me another.

I have so enjoyed these wonderful syrups. We've made pumpkin pie french toast this week and topped ice cream with the vanilla bean. So many uses -- one of the things I love about these syrups!

Torani has some absolutely fabulous recipes on site as well! Be sure to check those out!

You can connect with Torani on  their website and social network pages:  Facebook and @torani on Twitter.

The generous folks at Torani and SheSpeaks.com have offered 3 of my readers a coupon for $1.00 off any size / flavour of Torani  Syrup!

COFFEE FOOL Review & Giveaway, Ends 12/12/12

I am... a coffee fool!  I first reviewed Coffee Fool back in the Fall of 2011.

I've never been disappointed with the coffee or the amazingly fast service.

What can I say about the coffee?  It's brilliant.  It's fresh.  It's unconventional.

The coffees are deliciously varied -- the roasters are always developing new flavours for their fellow coffee fools.

Like so many  Coffee Fool customers, I have a few special favourites:  Blueberry Cinnamon Swirl,  Chocolate-Covered Cherry, and the absolutely incredible Highlander Grog, which is an intoxicating blend of Butterscotch and Hazelnut!  *swoon*

Coffee Fool also has Organic Fair-Trade,  Premium (unflavoured), Decaf, and now, Pods!

Truly, a coffee for every taste!

About Coffee Fool

 How do you know if coffee is stale? Simple test: If it's bitter or flat, it's too late. Coffee is actually known by connoisseurs as a 'sweet' beverage. But shush... you're not supposed to know that. And who doesn't want you to know? Grocery stores and coffee chains who need way too much profit margin to sell you the very highest grades or freshest possible coffee (coffee in grocery stores sits on shelves for months). 

We're small, independent and unconventional here at Coffee Fool, something you probably could have guessed from our name. But nevertheless, we do love to seek out the very finest coffee in the world - we're fools for the best.

Coffee Fool is also in proud partnership with Tommy Shaw (Yes, THAT Tommy Shaw!) in support of the
the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.  Tommy Shaw's Great Divide Blend is a rich and super smooth, Organic Fair Trade blend of 50% Decaf and 50% Regular. 100% of all profits go to support the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust!

With the Holidays upon us, coffee is being served up for every festive occasion.  And Coffee Fool has you covered!

Just imagine these delicious and enticing flavours:

Eggnog Royale

Peppermint Mistletoe Kisses

Pumpkin Spice

Santa's Cookie Coffee

Don't they sound scrumptious?  Would you like to win some for your next holiday gathering?

Yes.  I thought so!

The folks at The Coffee Fool have very generously offered TWO of my readers the chance to win TWO bags of Holiday Coffee!  What a great holiday gift!

PACKAWAYS! Review and Giveaway, Ends 12/11/12

For moving, storage, clutter, toys... whatever the use, we all need boxes!  If you're like me, you DON'T want to use paper cardboard boxes.  If they get wet or over-filled, they just breakdown.  Don't even think about re-using them!  Oh... and really... they just smell bad.  ICK.

I prefer re-usable boxes for storing my things.  Especially those boxes that can be easily dismantled and stored when not in use.

Not long ago, I discovered Packaways Reusable Plastic Storage Boxes.  I am so glad I did!  I wish I'd had them when Lizz moved off to college!

MADE IN THE USA!

PackAways™ were invented and are manufactured in the U.S.A. by Technology Container Corp. (TCC), a Massachusetts-based company with plants in Worcester, MA and Desoto, TX. All of our products are made exclusively in the U.S.A., employing American workers and suppliers. We are the largest plastic box manufacturer in the world with more plastic box capacity than the rest of North America combined.


Why should you use Packaways?

COLLAPSIBLE, OUT OF THE WAY STORAGE: PackAways are the only corrugated plastic storage boxes that easily collapse down flat for efficient, out of the way storage when not in use.

EASY, NO TAPE SETUP: Simply press opposing corners together to instantly set up your PackAways. The bottom of the box automatically folds into place. The top interlocks to close, then can be opened and closed again and again. No more taping yourself to your storage!

WIPE AWAY MARKING PANELS: PackAways have two marking areas for identification of contents. When you are ready to reuse for another purpose, or if you misspelled your own child’s name, simply erase and re-label.

COLOR YOUR WORLD: Further organize your items by color or match your décor with PackAways brilliant Blue, Pink, Green and Translucent corrugated plastic storage boxes.

DURABLE: PackAways are ultra durable and can be erected, filled, stored, emptied and knocked down flat hundreds of times. And trust us…you will!

COMMON FOOTPRINT: Even if you purchase different sizes, the Classic PackAways have the same footprint (length and width), only the height varies in the sizes. So they stack neatly, efficiently and safely on top of one another. No more leaning towers.

Mike and I are hoping to move soon and I can't tell you how much these reusable, stackable, durable boxes will help us.  How cool that you can use an erasable marker on them, too.  Yep -- when the move is over (or even still in-progress), just wipe off the label and use the box for a different room or item.  That's a great help when moving!

I am also delighted with the various colours available.  I can use Pink for me, Blue for Mike, Green for Kitchen, and White for Household!  Love it.  Makes unpacking so much faster and easier.

The Classic Packaway is available in  12, 16, and 21 Gallon sizes.

The Tote is available in a single size as is the Underbed Packaway.

Colours available are White, Blue, Pink, and Green.

I have two of the Packaway Classics and I absolutely love them.  I've got my assorted Needlework Supplies tucked into the Pink box (When I move -- my stitching goes with ME. Mike will fill up his box with... whatever men have to have...

I plan on getting a several of the Underbed Packaways after the first of the year.  They'll be perfect for Lizz and my Mom.



The folks at Packaways would love to hear what you think about their products!  You can connect with them on their Social Media Pages:  Facebook and YouTube.

They have also very generously offered TWO of my readers the chance to win an amazing array of Packaways!

Each Prize pack will contain one of each size box (3 total), 1 Classic,  1 Postal-style Tote and 1 Underbed. That's a $40 value!

Just follow the instructions below for your chance to enter to win!
