I am super excited to share this product with all of you because it is a product that I have thoroughly used and have had a wonderful experience with. My regular readers know I am a foodie at heart and huge fan of kitchen gadgets, especially those that A) help me make amazing food and B) make my life simpler. This chicken wing and leg rack does just that.
The product comes with two pieces, a rack for holding your poultry and a pan that sits below it that helps contain the drippings and scraps from the meat as it cooks. The drip pan is extremely useful as these juices can be utilized in either basting or for making high-flavor gravies and sauces. The drip pan is extra-deep to accommodate even high-fat poultry and has sturdy weight bearing handles on either side to make moving the tray easy. One of the features of this product that really made it a keeper for me is its versatility. Both parts of the unit (rack and drip pan) are constructed of a really high quality stainless steel and are dishwasher friendly!! Additionally, if you are not planning on using the drippings for sauces or gravy - you can use the drip pan to steam or grill veggies right below your chicken. Add a little water and butter to the bottom, fill with veggies and seasonings and allow the juices from the meat to marinate and add amazing flavor to your vegetables! Whether you are making a handful of chicken legs for Monday night dinner or are grilling a slew of food for a birthday BBQ - this rack is definitely a must have for any family. The products super durable, stainless steel design allows it to be used in the grill, smoker or even in the oven. The only ounce of issue I had with the product was cleaning up the drip pan, especially after grilling - but *pro-tip- cover your drip pan with aluminum foil if you are not planning on using the drippings or for easy removal of steamed veggies. The layer of aluminum foil allows food to cook evenly but removes easily - taking the mess with it. I really cannot say enough about this product. It’s not often I am so enthusiastic about the products I try - but this one is so useful and has a lot of great features. It also is a big help in preparing tastier, healthier food. Your chicken is crispy and flavorful without sitting and cooking in huge amounts of fat. This product also decreases cooking time by evenly spacing the meat so it cooks on all sides at once. This chicken wing and leg rack is definitely one I recommend and hope that others will enjoy it as much as I have.

Let's start with some fun facts. Lavender has been used throughout history to treat many ailments such as insomnia, colic and even in the prevention and treatment of illnesses. The medicinal benefits of this beautiful and aromatic herb cannot be beat due to its amazing antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. When used in the form of an oil and diffused into the air, this herb can alleviate migraines, create a relaxed atmosphere and set the mood for a romantic evening. Since lavender is an all natural remedy for bacterial infections, having its sweet aroma wafting throughout your home is said to reduce the chances of catching and or spreading illnesses or colds. While it is not recommended to ingest lavender or other concentrated oils because the constant exposure to concentrated extracts can lead to other complications, using fresh or dried lavender leaves for use in cooking or preparing meals is fine. Drinking a warm cup of lavender tea or using as seasoning on an assortment of meal options is highly beneficial. Ingesting fresh or dried lavender leaves is known to help with bloating which is often caused by poor gastrointestinal health and recent antibiotic usage. The antibacterial components restore natural gut flora and in turn, reduces abdominal bloating. As for Ellie Bean and I, we LOVE Lavender anything, especially when it comes to our nightly routine! We used lavender bath products, lavender lotions, and we diffuse lavender in her room to help her sleep at night. When Bulk Apothecary offered a Lavender Bath Bomb Kit for us to try, I was excited to give it a shot! Every part of this beautiful kit was packaged really well and sealed tight for freshness. The recipe card was included, simple to follow, and the next time we had a rainy day... we put it all together!
The bath bombs came out a little crazy, but that's more my fault than the kit. I was a bit too anxious to use them and didn't let them set as long as I should have. We dropped the bath bomb in the tub and Ellie Bean started giggling with excitement as we watched it fizzle and explode in the bathwater. The aroma was potent, but soothing. When she got out of the tub, her skin was silky smooth and her eyes were already starting close. No sooner did I get her in her pajamas and turn on her diffuser that she was out cold. We often struggle with getting her to sleep right away, but tonight, she was asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. I can't wait to try some of the other kits and products that Bulk Apothecary has to offer. What are your favorite bath bomb scents? Do you love lavender too?

My happy little coffee maker is always ready to go to brew me a cup of happiness. I've tried a significant amount of different blends of coffee, and I must say, Venetian Coffee Roasters is on to something close to heaven. The first time I tried a blend, it was at the Suncoast Cafe located near the Venice Airport in Venice, Florida. Normally, I'll drink a single cup of coffee with breakfast and load it with cream and sugar, however, after my first cup, I had to have a second. This time, I cut my milk and sugar by half and it was truly the best cup of coffee I had ever had. I actually prolonged my breakfast just to sit and have a third cup, and took a cup with me to-go. The flavors were rich and full bodied, exactly what I needed to jump-start an awesome family day after a breakfast out. Imagine my delight when I found out that they had partnered with White Picket Produce to be a part of my biweekly fruit and veggie box! This blend was a bit more mild, but still packed an awesome flavor. From my previous experience, I knew I didn't need to add much extra, so a splash of cream and a bit of sugar and I had my cup of perfection. It's always wonderful finding that perfect cup of coffee. It's even better when it comes from a local shop! I am totally in love with this little tablet, and I think Ellie Bean is too! When it arrived, I followed the instructions and allowed it to charge overnight before I powered it up to start setting it up. I appreciated that the tablet came with the case already on it and that it already had basic apps downloaded. There is an adult mode and a child mode, but once in child mode, it does require a passcode to revert back. This makes me feel fantastic as a parent because I know my daughter will not be able to access something that she is not supposed to. Thanks to the front and rear camera, I can enable skype so that Ellie Bean can have her own chat sessions with her aunts and uncles and cousins without the need for me to stop what I'm working on and hand over my work computer! Another great option is the time restrictions. I can set the time for an hour and then it will actually tell her to put it down (or whatever message you choose). I love that option to limit her screen time and even more so, that a company recognizes that these limits need to exist. Finally, I was skeptical at first about looking at a different brand, and typically, I go by "you get what you pay for"... in that respect, I have spent quite a bit on the bigger, more expensive brands like Leapfrog or InnoTab, and I am definitely happier with this tablet than I was with the battery life or app availability on the others. There is a huge value in iRulu, and I can't wait to try more of their products! While combing through facebook looking for recommendations for my husband's 30th birthday cake, (he is a giant kid at heart), Cakes By Dez was one that stood out the most to me. We spoke on facebook messenger about the design concept and flavor profile I was looking for. She was very accommodating, and within a short period of time we had nailed down what we would do. A small 6" round cake designed to look like Captain America's shield surrounded by 6 cupcakes that would incorporate the theme. The cake would be vanilla with a raspberry filling while the cupcakes would be vanilla with a filling she calls "Barbarian Filling" which she described as being a "creamy, soft, pudding like consistency" and I requested she mix that with banana. Now I knew I was in for it. Most custom cake places were trying to charge me over $100 for a cake like this, (and being a work at home mom, you, my lovely readers, know I don't spend a lot of money on anything) I braced myself for the cost. "The total for that is $35, delivery this month is just the drivers tip" with a smiley face! Of course, there's a smiley face, that's just AWESOME! She even kept in contact with me on Friday and Saturday to confirm my delivery and to keep me updated on where I was in her route. She truly cares about her customers, and that shows! After letting us peek at the cake, we paid her and she moved on to her next delivery. I did receive a thank you message later that evening wishing my husband a Happy Birthday and hoping that we would enjoy the cake. What an awesome person! ~*~ Party Day ~*~ All of our guests were in love with the design of the cake, and let me tell you that every single piece of that cake is gone. It was a bit dense and moist... The fillings were divine! My favorite was the raspberry, my only regret is that I wish there was more filling!! I think I could drink it and be happy. The buttercream icing was very sweet, but it was the perfect sugary end to my husband's "I-want-to-be-a-kid-again" birthday party (complete with 90's era video games.) Cakes By Dez is the real deal. She will definitely be on our list of recommended services, and I can't wait until the next birthday rolls around to see what she can come up with! (Ellie Bean's birthday is in February!)
