Ziploc Giveaway!!!

23 Comments

I love Ziploc products!!!! So I was stoked to pieces when I got some of their great products to try!

For those of you who don’t read NerdFamily Food, I do bulk cooking and Ziploc has saved me! Some people have a lot dishes but then you have to wash them all and who needs that? I love putting loaves of bread, meatballs, ground beef and more into bags and then stashing them in the freezer. Then for things like soups, stocks and other liquid things I use the containers with the Smart Snap seal. I love them because they give everything an air tight seal! I also love the fact I can toss away the bags and don’t have to wash them up!

Win It!

    Breakfast Rice

    3 Comments

    My kids love breakfast rice! Then I found out that many people have never heard of a sweet rice or a breakfast rice so I decided to share mine! It uses one of my secret weapons, my rice maker! So I just dump everything in and turn it on! You can adjust the types and amounts. This is just a base.

    Ingredients:

    3 cups of jasmine rice (any rice will work)
    2 teaspoons of cinnamon
    3/4 cup brown sugar
    1 cup raisins
    1/4 cup silvered almonds

    Process:

    Just put the rice in the cooker and fill with water up to the line. Then add everything else and give it a little bit of a stir. Then turn on the cooker and leave it alone! It is that simple.

    Dinner at Limon

    1 Comment

    So tonight I took my best friend Sara out for her birthday! We decided that we wanted to try some place new. Alisa had recommended Limon a while back so we took a gander at the website. Sara quickly saw many yummy items to tempt her taste buds. So we were sold! Now I am extremely picky and I was thrilled! The restaurant was very empty when we got there so I was a little nervous but it wasn’t even 5:30 yet;). But the service was great and so was the food. I ordered the lamb shank and it was delectable. Sara got the pork chop on a cabbage, mushroom, bacon hash. She loved it! You can see that they were both beautiful! The price point is was about $50 for the 2 of us. I highly recommend Limon!
