My new can't-live-without products!!

So I've been doing a lot of freezer cooking lately. A lot! Our crockpot is used 3 - 5 days a week now. One chore I detested was cleaning the crock from the crockpot. It would get so sticky and gunky and gross! Then my friend Renea and I had to run into Publix one day before we went to pick up our boys at school. She bought the most amazing product ~ Reynolds slow cooker liners! I had never seen them before, but they are amazing. I can make the messiest thing in there now, and I just pull the liner out and throw it away! WOW! What a time saver it has been!


Another amazing product for me is McCormick Recipe Inspirations: these are the coolest spice collections!! I paid $1.99 for mine - it's a little more than I'd usually pay for a spice packet but it is so cool! There is a recipe card on the back, and on the front, six premeasured spice blister packs. I bought the Quesadilla Casserole blend for our chili today, as it had the cumin, chili powder, red pepper and garlic that I would use anyway!

I love finding & sharing new products(or at least, new to me!) What are your favorite products that save you time or money, or both?!

Snowy day!

It's been really cold & snowy here today. We had a couple inches of snow, and I ended up picking up both kids early from school. The slush was scaring me, didn't want to have to get out in this mess later when school lets out! I spent a good bit of the day crafting, and making more eye pillows. I sell my products at the Farmer's Market, and I had taken a lavender rice eye pillow up last week, and it sold! So today I made three more, plus a Boo-Boo bag. I have a couple really cute fabrics ready to make some more, too!

DH has to stay at a hotel near work tonight (in case the snow freezes over the roads tonight) so the kids and I are planning a nacho/tv night! I'm going to try to get a few more crafts done, like fabric covered journals/day planners, a framed print of some sort for the store using some scrappy paper, and some more decorative clothes pins (those have been selling like crazy at the store!).

Later I'll try to add some recipes on here ~ I've been doing some freezer cooking and have got a few fantastic recipes for that ~ and also the Earl Grey Shortbread Cookies that I've been selling at the store. Sounds strange, but they are truly delicious!

Guess that is all for now. I need to figure out how to add pics on this blog! :o)
