EZSOX Review & GIVEAWAY

The "I Can Do It!" sox

The unique EZSox design makes a great training sock for little ones. J wants to do everything for himself and putting on his socks and shoes is no exception. He's been good at putting on his socks but needs help making them straight. When you wear all white socks it makes it hard to know which way is up.

Cute animal faces act as a guide, showing kids which way is up. Reinforced loops give tiny fingers a strong grip for pulling over tiny toes and non-skid bottoms make EZ SOX safer on slippery surfaces. EZSox are even made seamless for sensitive little toes.

EXSox come in a variety of cute animals and solid colors so your little ones can choose their favorites. We were able to review both the green frog and brown teddy bear designs. J was so excited to see the frog because his favorite color is green. He couldn't wait to put the socks on himself. The loops made it easy for him to pull them on. He was able to know which way was up thanks to the frog's face. I didn't have to straighten them out for him. It may not sound like much but one less thing for me to do as we're rushing out the door makes a world of difference. It's also a nice bonus that the socks are nice and soft.

Kringle-Spiced Pringles Cookie Review

Consider mixing-up your traditional holiday cookie batch this year with a recipe using Pringles crisps. Below is an original recipe for Kringle-Spiced Pringles Cookies, created by professional Chef Kyle Shadix. This sandwich cookie combines the savory crunch of Pringles Original Potato crisps with a sweet and zesty jam to create a winning substitute for the boring ginger cookie

Kringle-Spiced Pringles Cookies by Chef Kyle Shadix

Yield: 2 dozen sandwich cookies

1 can Pringle's "The Original"

1 cup all-purpose flour

· 1 teaspoon baking soda

· 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

· 1 teaspoon allspice

· 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

· 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened

· 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed

· 1 egg

· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

· 1 cup fruit preserves, raspberry or mixed berry

· 1/3 cup crystallized ginger, finely chopped



Directions

1. Preheat the oven at to 350 degrees and place Pringles, flour, baking soda, and spices in a food processor, and puree until the consistency of corn meal; set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until slightly fluffy.

3. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix for 30 seconds.

4. Pour the Pringles spice mixture into the bowl and mix for 1 minute; place dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

5. Drop by rounded teaspoon onto ungreased baking sheets, and bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.

6. In a small bowl, combine fruit preserves and ginger (if desired, ginger is optional); spread 1 teaspoon onto a cookie, and top with another cookie. Instead of crystallized ginger can swap out 2 teaspoons of powdered ginger to the jam.

I had the chance to review these Kringle-Spiced Pringles Cookies and I have to say I was very surprised...in a good way. I knew I already loved Pringles and the thought of them in a cookie was pretty strange but I figured why not? They were moist and soft yet had a little crunch from the Pringles. The jam gave it the perfect amount of sweetness. I knew Dear Hubby wouldn't try them if I told him they were made of chips so I offered him some without telling him the surprise ingredient. He liked them and said they reminded him of the holidays because of the spice flavor.

Follow the recipe above and try them for yourselves!
