i heart peanut butter.

I heart peanut butter...love crunchy the best...
But...there is a new favorite in town...
Peanut Butter & Co. {all natural}
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Dreams
leaves me "dreaming" for more! Really.
This stuff is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

It is like eating a peanut butter cup...but in peanut butter form.
It has a smooth, fluffy texture...love.it. The dark chocolate flavor is a lovely addition to the PB!
A spoonful is wonderful. I even put a big glob on top of my oatmeal this morning!
Great for a mid-afternoon snack too!!! TRY SOME!

And...they have other flavas too...cinnamon swirl, white chocolate, mighty maple, and others!
Click here to learn more about this product!
I am more than satisfied with my purchase...slightly obsessed! Oh...I found mine at my local Publix...around $5 for the jar----but, you don't eat much in a serving...so it does last!
{And...there is a recipe spot on the website...can't wait to play with Dark Chocolate Dreams!

Good cup of Joe!

I love good coffee...I splurge on my coffee from time to time...
However, I have found one of my favorites these days is Dunkin' Donuts Dark!
I can't believe I'm saying this...but SBucks is starting to taste like an ashtray to me...So...I will be sticking with "DD" and a local establishment {another post!}

This coffee has a nice, bold flavor...and...it is nice and dark!
It is around $7.99 a bag.
But...Publix and Target run sales on Dunkin' Donuts coffee...all the time! I stock up!
{i love the decaf too...i really like to mix the dark and decaf!}
And...if you live in {205}---a Dunkin' Donuts just opened out in Pelham!
Fun times! Happy Sipping on this chilly, rainy day!

Well...it is the most yummy, creamy goodness I've had in a while!

Barney Butter is a roasted almond {peanut butter texture} butter!
You can get it in creamy or crunchy...{it is totally peanut free}
I've only had the creamy---and I LOVE.IT!

You can get it at most Publix---in the Greenwise section!
A 16 oz. jar is $7.99---but it is worth every penny!

Won't Clean without 'um!


I love these things! They are excellent for sinks, cooktops, pots and pans, tubs, counters, and the list goes on and on! I really don't clean without them anymore! I especially love cleaning my sink with this "sponge!" They are great because they wipe and clean{you can really scrub too!} without scratching!!
I may be in the dark...I know these have been around for years...But, they are new to me...and I LOVE 'um!!! They clean great with my Mrs. Meyer's Stainless Steel Cleaner {which is another post in itself!!} Happy Cleaning!

Love, Hate!



I have a love.hate relationship with my glass cook top, really, I do. When we moved into our house-the stove was already there--so I really didn't have a choice as to what kind of stove I wanted. As far as the cook top goes--I love how easy it is to wipe a flat surface---but, I hate how "gunky" it can get. My mother also has a love.hate with it too...although I think it ended more on hate! HA! She could not stand not being able to get the thing clean---and she worked pretty hard! So...Off to the store she went-in search for something, ANYTHING to clean the cook top with---well, she came with...Weiman Glass Cook Top Cleaner.

And folks, I am here to say...it is awesome!


Couple of things I love about this product:
1. It CLEANS....I mean really cleans!

2. You don't have to use much of it

So...if you have a glass cook top, and you can't seem to get it clean...Give this a try! I was way impressed with how it cleaned...Advice: you need to scrub your cook top {w/the cleaner} with one of those green Scotch-Brite-no scratch pads---they help a ton! Happy Scrubbing!

Green With Envy?

We recently put uba tuba granite counter tops in our kitchen. I really like the look of granite-and uba tuba is pretty dark. I had many people tell me to just clean it with warm, soapy water. Well, I did this---and it left horrible smudges! My mother about had a come apart while staying with me after I had my baby---the smudges were really getting to her!

After some research on the "best" granite cleaner, I came across Simple Green Stone Cleaner. I read several positive reviews about this product---and decided to give it a try.

So far I have been overly pleased with this cleaner. It cleans our counters so well. I am not sure if it is me and the way I clean---but, I do have to "buff" with a soft towel after I spray our counters with Simple Green Stone Cleaner.

Simple Green leaves our counter tops bright and shiny! If you are having this same problem, give "SG" a shot! It worked for us!
Oh...I bought my bottle at Home Depot---I am sure you can get it at most hardware stores and maybe even Target or Walmart! We paid around $7.00 for our bottle---it has lasted us since October---and it is January and I still have over 3/4 of the bottle left! I don't use it everyday---I use it every other to every third day!

All Purpose Cleaner

I am a Mrs. Meyer's Junkie! I have her cleaners, dryer sheets, hand soaps, and stainless steel cleaner---I love every single product she has! I will review other Mrs. Meyer's products in the near future! But, today I will feature her all purpose cleaner...
Mrs. Meyer's Lemon Verbena All Purpose Cleaner is a fabulous product for your home! I bought it on a whim at a health food store and have loved, loved, loved it! The smell freshens your house in a bright and airy way! I love cleaning with this product for two reasons: 1. it smells divine! 2. it really cleans. Now, you do have to mix it with water--it is concentrated and needs to be diluted--which I like because you can make it the desired strength of your choice. Mrs. Meyer's tends to be more pricey than other products, but it is a quality product and is worth the extra money! The bottle says you can, " tackle dirty floors, cupboards, counter tops and more." And...all of the above is true. One note, it does tend to smudge on our granite counter tops. You can buff it out with a towel though. In general, Mrs. Meyer's makes a solid product. Their hand soaps are delicious as well! If you are in a cleaning rut, and need some inspiration to get down on those sticky floors, try Mrs. Meyer's Lemon Verbena cleaner, you will bury your nose in your floors to smell the light, airy, delicious scent!
Give this cleaner a try--your nose will enjoy every minute of it!
