The one procedure I haven’t had at the dentist is a teeth whitening treatment. When I was asked by Smile Brilliant to try their teeth whitening system, at first I thought I won the dental lottery. I followed the directions, wearing my trays (with teeth whitening solution) for 45 minutes to 2 hours, while living my daily life… I worked, played with my son and while my speech wasn’t the exact same, I could still read bedtime stories. I realize now that I have extremely sensitive teeth, but I wasn’t aware how sensitive your teeth are while whitening.

Today I want to share a yummy game day recipe that you can make using the delicious Grain Berry cereal. The Grain Berry Honey Nut Toasted Oats in this recipe use real almonds and have 33% less sugar than the leading brands. -20- Fresh sage leaves Head on over to your local Jewel Osco and get all of the ingredients In a large bowl add the Grain Berry Honey Nut Toasted Oats, Planters Peanuts, Pecan Pieces, Quicos Corn Nuts, Mini Pretzels and a few sage leaves Once the pan is removed from heat, mix in the Worcestershire sauce, Brown Sugar, Cinnamon, Cayenne, Seasoning Blend and Salt into the brown butter until the ingredients dissolve Pour warm liquid over the bowl with the dry ingredients (oats, pretzels and nuts) and stir until the butter mixture coats all of the dry ingredients Pour the mixture out on a pan that is covered with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes on 325 degrees Once the oats have a nice crunch, put in a festive bowl and garnish with sage leaves

The challenge was to make a lunch box friendly food item (snack, sandwich, bite) that our kid/s could enjoy using the Chateau Bread Dumplings. Follow the directions on the Chateau bread dumplings package Pull out the desired amount of dumplings (2 per person) and let them thaw Put a half inch of water in your stainless steel steamer, place your insert and spread your dumplings in the insert and cover Dumplings should steam up to 10 minutes or until soft and fluffy Shred your swiss cheese, we used a half cup per sandwich, if you shred 3 cups you’ll be safe Add butter to your hot pan and add a slice of carnitas While the dumplings steam, feel free to get a nice char on each side of each of your carnitas Next, top the ham with a cooked slice of carnitas Add 1 or 2 pickle slices to the top of the carnitas Top the pickles with a handful of shredded swiss cheese (1/2 cup) Pick up the lonely dumpling and drizzle a healthy amount of mustard and place the mustard side down on the swiss cheese Get a smaller cast iron and place that cast iron on the sandwich for proper smooshing Flip the sandwich and press a little more with the smaller cast iron on top At this point the cheese should be oozing out of the sides and you should have a nice char on the bread

The first time I went to Vegas it was under the usual circumstances, bachelorette party. The second time I went to Vegas was for a little parent get away, to celebrate my husband’s 32nd birthday. Of course when going to Vegas, people are going to tell you about all of the touristy things you’ve gotta do. We actually got off the strip a lot during our time in Vegas.
