Project 365 - November

noreply@blogger.com (Tammy) — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:06:00 +0000

We had such a wonderful time this past Thanksgiving with family that came down from back home. Always enjoy the food and the fun. Also loved the shopping day on Black Friday.

You can find the templates and other items I used for this layout at Weeds and Wildflowers

Have a wonderful month, Tammy

Posiflex All in One Monitors

noreply@blogger.com (Tammy) — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:58:00 +0000

I love new electronics and when its time to replace an item, I love looking at all the new gadgets out there. A friend of mine who has a deli was telling me it was time to buy a new monitor and didn't know what brand or kind to go to next.

I asked her if she had seen the Posiflex type monitors? These are fanless and quite touch monitors which would work great for her business. She loves the idea of a really crisp display. Something she doesn't have now. And her employees will love the idea of a touch screen instead of a cash register. And it comes in 15 or 17 inch monitor size.

Motorcycle Helmets

noreply@blogger.com (Tammy) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 04:35:00 +0000

I'm not much on getting on the back of a motorcycle or drive one. But I do have friends who love the adventure of riding and down here in Florida you can do it pretty much the whole year.

There is no helmet law in Florida, but I do notice that the majority of the people who ride around here do wear helmets. And not very pretty ones I may add.

Look at this really beautiful pink helmet I saw when I was looking for a place to buy motorcycle helmets to tell a friend about who is looking for a new helmet. I love to wear girly things and why not wear a great helmet that says I am a girl!!

If you are looking for any kind of helmet or motorcycle equipment or clothing, check out The Helmet Shop and see what they have to offer on their website. They offer Free Shipping on most orders and a large selection to choose from

Chicken Salad

noreply@blogger.com (Tammy) — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 22:44:00 +0000

When I stock up on chicken breasts, I love to cook many breasts in the crock pot, dice up and either freeze that or make chicken salad with it. Serves great either on a salad or on a sandwich.

Chicken Salad

Ingredients
1 pound chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
1 onion, quartered
2 celery stalks
1 cup chopped celery
4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons chicken stock

Directions
Place chicken breast in crock pot with celery stalks and quartered onion. Add a bit of liquid to the bottom of the crock pot for moisture. Let cook on low for 3 or 4 hours. Don’t over cook or the chicken will be very dry. Remove chicken from pot and let cool. Dice the chicken and place in a large bowl. Add the chopped celery, eggs, seasoning salt, mayonnaise, lemon-pepper, pepper and mix well.

TIP: I usually put more than a pound of chicken breasts in the crock pot, dice up all of the chicken and then put what is left over in the freezer for later.

I hope you enjoy,

Small Business Office Needs

noreply@blogger.com (Tammy) — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 17:48:00 +0000

I love my small office and use it everyday for our business but I was looking around the other day and realized I needed to stock up on items for my small business office.

One of the things I need desperately is a new calculator. The one I have now, you have to hit it a couple of times before the LCD panel lights up to use it. Its must have a short some where. The Source website has a great deal on calculators that I am looking at. Can't beat the prices they have to offer on them.

Something else I saw that has peaked my interest is a digital frame which also holds pens, pencils and other small office items. I would love to be able to see some of my most precious pictures and not just one. Really nice to have in any office.

The source also sells other items you can use for your home, electronics and travel.

Laser Treatment for Back Pain

noreply@blogger.com (Tammy) — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 17:26:00 +0000

My husband has been dealing with severe back pain as long as I have known him. Its an old football injury that has injured his spine. Nothing seems to work and he is now wanting to have something seriously done.

We have been reading about laser treatment for back pain and went to a seminar given on this procedure. He had to show his latest xray and is considered a candidate. This is such good news because he doesn't want to do any kind of invasive surgery that would put him down for weeks. The idea of quick recovery and home in a few hours would work out so perfect for him and his life style since he still works part time.

D.N.D. is a minimally invasive procedure that results in:

Tiny incisions
Diagnosis of the cause/source of the pain
Earlier treatment
Potentially immediate relief
Less chance for recurrence
Minimal scarring
Minimal risk of damage to muscles, bone, nerves or blood vessels
The normal structure of the disc is maintained
Less pain after the procedure
Rapid recovery

If you or someone you know who has back pain, do some research on laser treatment and see if its the solution for you.

Idently Stronghold

noreply@blogger.com (Tammy) — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 17:17:00 +0000

I saw a very interesting news clip on how peoples credit cards are being hacked while in their purses and pockets. It was very scary to know how easy this can be done by the wrong people.

But there is a solution to this problem by using rfid credit card blockers. The wallet below is an example of the rfid credit card blockers. Very stylish. Don't you think?

This is how they work:

Secure Sleeve®, Secure Badgeholder®, and Secure Wallet™ products create an RFID shield by blocking the electromagnetic energy necessary to power and communicate with contactless smart cards, passports, enhanced drivers licenses (EDLs), TWIC, PIV, CAC and transit cards. This is essential to total security because although most contactless smart card systems implement industry-standard security mechanisms, readers can be modified to access information without authorization.

Don't let someone hack into your credit cards or other information that could ruin your credit for many years to come and purchase a new Secure item now.

Merry Christmas 2011

noreply@blogger.com (Tammy) — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 19:51:00 +0000

I finally got around to taking a couple of pictures of my Christmas tree. I just love it. Its so pretty and tall!!

And I had to get a picture of Mr. Ernest T. Bass too. He hates getting his picture taken.

I also want to say "Thank You" to all the troops who are out there keeping us safe day and night and helping those in countries who need it. I also want to give a great big hug to my brother who is in Afghanistan and will miss Christmas. I love you!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas this year and a very healthy and prosperous New Year!!

I Love Sectional Sofas!

noreply@blogger.com (Tammy) — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 19:45:00 +0000

I just love sectional sofas and can't wait when I am able to go do some serious shopping for a new sofa. The one we have now is in such bad shape. When you sit in it you almost sit on the floor. I'm embarrassed when company comes over.

While I was searching for new ideas for a sections, I came up on sectional sofas Los Angeles. I wish I lived closer because I sure would love to see the ones they have on their website.

The sectional in the picture is what I am looking for. Something you can lean back on and up your feet up on. Looks so comfy.

For those of you who live in the LA area, you should check out YourFurnitureNow.com and check out all the different sectionals they have to offer. They have furniture for the living room, bedroom, dining room and more. You aren't going to find leather furniture with great prices like these anywhere!

Jewelry Making Supplies

noreply@blogger.com (Tammy) — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 16:40:00 +0000

I am always looking for great supplies to make my jewelry for my website. I have searched many different sites for reasonably priced jewelry making supplies and Beadaholique.com is one of them I use. Their products are the best and they have so much to choose from.

I buy the sterling silver alphabet beads and findings the most and the way the silver prices have gone up the past couple of years, its good to see great prices to choose from. They have a great selection of crystal beads and other items too.

There are also guides to follow for those of you who are just starting out making your own jewelry.

I love checking out their clearance items to make something unique to sell.

Review and Recipe: Newmans Own and Meaty Ziti

noreply@blogger.com (Tammy) — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 16:28:00 +0000

I love to make pasta with red sauce and meatballs for dinner. One of my favorite comfort foods. But, Mr. G, isn't a really big fan of tomato sauce. Oh, he likes spaghetti sauce, but he wants a LOT of meat in it. I mean, he wants to see more meat then sauce. So when the good people of Foodbuzz Tastemaker's program sent me Newman's Own pasta sauce and salad dressings, I knew I would have to think really hard to make a recipe that he would like, still be tasty, quick and not cost much. Here is the recipe I came up with.

Meaty Ziti

1 pound ziti (can sub penne) pasta
1 pound of ground beef
1 pound of Italian flavored sausage
1 jar of Newman's Own Pasta Sauce
Chopped Onion to taste
1/2 pound of mozzarella cheese, grated
1 cup grated parmesan cheese

Directions:
1 Cook pasta according to directions until the pasta is al dente—edible but still a little firm. Drain the pasta through a colander. Toss with a little olive oil so the pasta does not stick together while you make the sauce.

2 Brown well sausage and ground meat. Add the onions and stir well to combine. Sauté everything until the onions are translucent and beginning to brown, about 4-5 minutes. Then add the tomato sauce and stir well. Bring to a simmer.

3 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread pasta on the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole pan, then layer half of the mozzarella cheese. Layer on the pasta and then the rest of the mozzarella cheese. Last, layer the parmesan cheese.

4 Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. I have found if I cover this it keeps the cheese from burning and drying out the casserole since the meat sauce is so thick.

NOTES: You could use ground turkey meat and ground Italian turkey sausage and use different types of cheese I also served a simple green salad with Newman's Own Ceasar Lite Dressing and some Easy Italian Breadsticks in the Bread Machine which are out of this world good. I didn't tell Mr. G what I was making for supper and when I brought it out of the oven, he gave it a quick glance and asked, "How much tomato sauce did you use?"

Mr. G really did love this recipe and said it was "A Keeper". When I hear those 2 words, I know I will be making this recipe again. The sauce was perfect and I know I will be using Newman's Own pasta sauce for now on. This was a very economical meal with plenty left overs for another meal and I also put another serving in the freezer for later. We will eat the rest of the bread sticks when I make soup in a few days. Thanks Newman's Own for a great product!!

Tornado Shelters

noreply@blogger.com (Tammy) — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 17:12:00 +0000

I have seen a few tornadoes in my life and have seen what they can do and how easily they can take lives. And if you live where you don't have a basement, a shelter might be your answer.

Survive-a-storm.com is your first stop when it comes to deciding what kind of tornado shelter you may need.Their website will tell you where a local dealer located. Or you can buy via the phone, ebay, fairs and ag shows.

As you can see in the picture to the left, they are put underground and is the safest place to be during a tornado. After looking over their website, it seems their product is the best out there.

Be prepared for the next storm by having a tornado shelter installed on your property.
