Giada De Laurentiis for Target Review

Dear Hubby and I love watching Food Network and Giada De Laurentiis has always been one of our favorites. She is so passionate about her cooking and watching her cook always makes me want to try all her recipes. I've made several and they have always been delicious. When I found out Giada (yes, we're on a first name basis!) came out with a line of products for Target I was thrilled! Those are two of my favorite things and now they are working together, does it get any better?! I make weekly trips to Target like I do the grocery store so knowing how convenient and affordable it is to get Giada's products made it a double score.

Giada De Laurentiis for Target has a variety of products for you to choose from. There are dried pastas in a variety of shapes, jarred sauces,dipping sauces/salad dressings and kitchen accessories. I was excited when my package arrived. It included her Tuscan Vinaigrette, Classic Minestrone Soup Starter Mix, Bucatini Pasta and Sun Dried Tomato Pesto.


We have had upper 90 to 100 degree weather for several weeks now so I haven't had a chance to try to the Classic Minestrone Soup Starter Mix. I had everything else though and it was all delicious! I loved how versatile the Vinaigrette is. We used it on salads as well as a bread dipper. I love bread and anything I can dip it into is a plus in my book. The Sun Dried Tomato Pesto was fabulous. I always try to find new ways to liven up our pasta dishes than the same old marinara and alfredo so we were very pleased the with this pesto sauce. It was very convenient to be able to just pop open a jar and mix it in the warm pasta but it also had a rich delicious flavor. I am excited to try more of Giada's flavors soon!

You can purchase your own Giada De Laurentiis for Target products at Target stores nationwide.

Holiday Extravaganza - Lunch Punch Review and Giveaway

I know I'm not the only one out there with a toddler who would rather do anything than eat. I've been looking around for ideas on how to make mealtime more fun. At Halloween, I made ghost pancakes, I make smiley faces out of vegetables at dinner, I'll even top something with a little extra whipped cream if it will help him eat more. This usually lasts through maybe 3-4 bites and then the excitement is over and he runs off.

The Lunch Punch® is a food cutter specifically designed to capture the most amount of bread when it cuts the crust off your sandwich. A fun lunch with minimum waste. The Lunch Punch® is taller than cookie cutters, making it easy to cut through two pieces of bread and spread while still keeping sandwiches light and fluffy. Plus, The Lunch Punch® is kid friendly and dishwasher safe.

We were thrilled when we received the Match & Munch and Critter Cutters to review. Like I've said before, J loves colorful things and these were no exception. They were bright green and orange. J's favorite color is green so of course he wanted to try those first with the Match & Munch set. This set includes 4 interactive puzzle pieces you can mix and match and then munch. The sandwich cutters were easy to use. My favorite part about them was that they cut off the crust. J hates crust and I'm always having to cut it off myself. Once I punched out the sandwich the crust was cut gone. J loved eating the puzzle pieces and thought it was funny to take bites and laugh that he had "broken" his puzzle piece. I'm not lying when I say he actually ate two sandwiches for lunch!

The Critter Cutters are big cutters that fit JUMBO size bread. With 4 unique animal shapes including a butterfly, dog and dog house, elephant and whales. The VrrRRMM! Vehicle Set and The Landwich Range featuring different continents are coming soon!

Holiday Extravaganza - Cook's Ham Review & Giveaway

We love ham in this house! It's the only meat I can get J to eat on a regular basis. We love it in sandwiches, omelets, and salads.

We had the opportunity to try a Cook's Ham and it was delicious. It was moist and tender. We got a 20 lb ham and after stuffing ourselves we still had so much leftover. J loves it by itself cut up in small pieces. It's so easy to feed him a nice lunch with the leftovers. Dear Hubby takes some to work and I love it as a snack with cheese and crackers.

Cook's Ham gives you great recipe ideas and new glazes to try with their delicious hams. Cook's has a variety of hams including; Bone-in and Boneless Hams, Ham Steaks, Spiral Sliced Hams and Corned Beef Brisket.
