Go for the Win at Your Next Football Party

July 16, 2016 by Melissa

Everyone loves to be known as a great party host and one of the best kinds of get-togethers you can throw at this time of year is a football viewing party. After all, the pressure is off of you to provide entertainment, right? Here are some ways to make your next football party a memorable one for everyone involved.

Choose Guests Carefully

It may seem that “the more, the merrier” approach is best for football shindigs, but that’s not your best move. Here are some ways to be a little selective about whom you invite.

Figure out which teams are playing ahead of time and make sure not to invite friends with very strong opinions about their teams. This will avoid any unnecessary conflict and keep the party atmosphere going.
If you want to keep costs down, supply the main dishes but asks guests to bring a drink or dessert.
Don’t invite people you know to be party downers. If they are too serious when it comes to sports or scoff at the very notion of football, leave them off the list.

Ambiance

The focus of the party might be the game, but there are plenty of opportunities to provide some elements that ramp up the football atmosphere.

Have some music queued up for halftime or during commercial breaks.
Dress in team colors or don a replica jersey, like these, to show your team affiliation.
Have extra chairs at the ready for attendees who want to sit when the sofa is already full.

Chow Time

Food is a major part of any football party, but providing snacks for a large crowd can be costly and logistically challenging. Here are some tips.

Plan to grill as much as you can. This leaves the kitchen available for other food prep.
If your guests are bringing food, try to monitor who is bringing what so you don’t end up with 23 bags of chips but no dip.
Use paper plates and plastic silverware for easy cleanup, and place garbage cans all over your home for easy cleanup once guests have left.

Make Decisions About Booze

It’s likely that beer will be flowing during the game, and since the party’s at your house, it’s important to ensure no one drinks too much. Here are some ways to control the liquor situation.

Avoid offering spirits at all and stick to beer and cider.
Keep an eye on guests and have plenty of soft drink options for guests who don’t want to drink.
Be prepared to keep any worse for wear guests at your house until they sober up and have plenty of yummy snacks on hand to help soak up the alcohol.

When your next football party comes around, you will be prepared to be the host with the most!

Cooking With Your Kids

May 30, 2016 by Melissa

If you have children, you try to devise new ways to have fun with them while keeping them busy. You can prepare fun foods and cooking with your children is a wonderful experience for the whole family. Cooking with the family can create family memories and teach your children to be responsible.

Today, the purpose is to highlight some of the benefits of cooking with your children as well as some helpful ideas to ensure that the activity is both fun and safe.

Benefits of Cooking For Children

Besides the fun, here are some other ways in which your kids will benefit from the cooking:

Pre-schoolers

They will see how the meals they eat are prepared, in addition to getting hands-on experience, which is an excellent way to learn and feel like they’re helping out.

School-age Children

Besides learning some cooking basics, they can also apply their arithmetic skills as they help mix ingredients for recipes. Furthermore, you can take advantage of this time to talk about proper nutrition and the reason behind choosing the ingredients you are using. It can lay the foundation for healthy eating at a later time.

Teens

They might appreciate the opportunity to improve their cooking skills, which is a good preparation for when they have to cook for themselves. They also might be interested in experimenting with different skills.

Tips To Ensure Positive Cooking Experience with Your Kids

Proper Planning

Talk to your children in advance about picking a menu and take them shopping with you for them to see what it takes to prepare a full-blown meal from scratch. While at it, you can emphasize budgeting, food selection, as well as quantities needed.

Safe Cooking

Go for simple recipes that won’t compromise the safety of the children. While making the meals, stress safety factors as the reality that pots, boiling water, and oil can be hot, and they need to be careful, lest they get hurt.

Unless your kid is old enough to use a knife, you should do the chopping yourself and don’t forget to highlight that knives are dangerous and shouldn’t be touched in the absence of an adult. You also should be the one cooking on the stove top or putting pans in the oven whenever possible.

Children should be given simple tasks like stirring cake batter, washing lettuce leaves, or tossing pre-measured spices into a bowl. Kitchen safety is paramount for the whole family.

Cleaning Up

Before they get their hands into the ingredients, children must wash their hands with soap and water. Let them know that healthy cooking means cleaning up before touching anything. If they’re handling raw chicken, eggs, or meat, you should make them understand the dangers of salmonella and why it’s important to wash their hands after handling these items. Don’t forget to remind them the importance of cleaning as they go, and show them how to clean bowls and utensils. Cleanliness ensures the safety of every family member.

Getting your children into the kitchen to cook with you is a win-win situation, their age and what you make notwithstanding. As your children interact with you in the kitchen, the will learn a new skill all while teaching them responsibility.

As parents being responsible and a role-model is part of our job and our kids sometimes see us as their heroes, but who looks out for us? Having a good family lawyer in our corner helps us sleep a bit easier at night so we don’t have to sweat the little things that might happen to us down the road.

World Burger Tour at Hard Rock Cafe

May 20, 2016 by Melissa

Who doesn’t love a good burger? I can’t tell you how many times in a week I ask Rob what he wants for dinner and he says ” a big juicy burger”. I can’t always accommodate but we have a few local spots we try to visit or create our own masterpiece at home for the grill. So when Hard Rock Cafe came to me and asked if we wanted to test out the World Burger Tour that seemed like a easy answer.

“Hard Rock is bringing its menu to life and offering a unique burger experience that takes guests’ taste buds on an international journey. Hard Rock, in conjunction with global experience agency RPMC, is offering a World Burger Tour travel package that includes stops at iconic cities including Seattle, United States; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Athens, Greece; and London, England. This four-stop, once-in a lifetime excursion celebrates the cities that inspired Hard Rock’s World Burger Tour”

Throughout May and June, Hard Rock Cafe menus* will feature the following World Burger Tour offerings:

English Breakfast Burger (London, England)– a Certified Angus Beef® patty topped with sliced ham, a sausage patty, a fried egg, a portobello mushroom, arugula and garlic aioli and served with a side of baked beans
Java Lava Burger(Seattle, United States) – a Certified Angus Beef patty grilled and dressed in a house-made espresso rub and topped with lava sauce, crunchy java onions, bacon, melted Cheddar cheese and garnished with a fried jalapeño
Tandoori Chicken Burger (Mumbai, India)– a dark meat chicken patty seasoned with aromatic spices and fresh herbs, topped with mint mayonnaise and served with a side of cucumber
Jamaican Jerk Burger (Montego Bay, Jamaica) – a Certified Angus Beef patty topped with banana pepper rings, mango jalapeño cream cheese and jerk mayonnaise
ATOMIC! Burger (Las Vegas, United States) – a Certified Angus Beef patty topped with Atomic beer-battered peppers, pepper jack cheese, caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, garlic chipotle ketchup and chipotle mayonnaise
Tango Salsa Burger (Buenos Aires, Argentina) – a Certified Angus Beef patty topped with andouille sausage, Monterey Jack cheese, chips de batata, a fried egg, salsa criolla and garlic aioli
Greek Burger (Athens, Greece) – a Certified Angus Beef patty topped with arugula, feta cheese and a tomato slice
Aloha Burger (Honolulu, United States) – a Certified Angus Beef patty topped with Portuguese sausage, Monterey Jack cheese, a grilled pineapple ring with sweet soy glaze, guacamole, pico de gallo, served with Furikake french fries

Rob and I scheduled a date day on a rainy Sunday in Philadelphia. We walked center city, did a little shopping and finally headed in for an early dinner. If you’ve never been to a Hard Rock Cafe you’ll be taken back by the decor. It’s bold and screams rock and roll. I have a thing for ceilings and was immediately drawn to the copper tiles and HUGE sun-like lamps. There were purple drapes held back with chains and music inspired gear all over the walls. Everything you’d expect from a Hard Rock Cafe.

It was a rainy gloomy Sunday but surprisingly it was quite crowded. There were tables of people from all backgrounds. Doesn’t music bring everyone together? We sat down and waited for our server. There was no mention of the World Burger Tour anywhere. No table card, no extra menu, no add-in to the existing menu. When our server arrived we asked and he said the only burger they were offering was the Tango Salsa Burger. I gave him a weird look cause I was really hoping to order a couple different burgers and try them all.

We settled on that burger and a few other things. First to come out was the Jumbo Combo. Who doesn’t love a little bit of everything.

A collection of our most popular appetizers: Signature Wings, Onion Rings, Tupelo Chicken Tenders, Southwest spring rolls and bruschetta. Served with honey mustard, hickory barbecue and blue cheese dressing.

Our meals came out and Rob commandeered the burger right away.

Tango Salsa Burger (Buenos Aires, Argentina) – a Certified Angus Beef patty topped with andouille sausage, Monterey Jack cheese, chips de batata, a fried egg, salsa criolla and garlic aioli.

I didn’t get to taste it. He ate it before I got to even ask for a bite. Instead I ordered the MARGHERITA FLATBREAD. I ate half of it along with the side of Parmesan Fries I ordered. I’m a french fry junkie. Rob also ordered a side of specialty fries. While the burger was GONE we were able to take home all the extra food and feed 2 of our kids for dinner. Portions are definitely on the larger size.

If you’re close to a Hard Rock Cafe check out their World Burger Tour and let us know your favorite. I know you’re not going to pass up on the fries either so let us know which flavor you chose too.

Food, Race Day and Nexium 24 #RaceDayRelief

March 31, 2016 by Melissa

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #GameDayRelief #CollectiveBias

I love sports and I mean all sports like football, racing, bowling, lacrosse and so on and I also love to eat while watching sports. In my opinion you can’t watch sports without some kind of food or snack. During the race season which we are currently in Melinda always makes sure that I have plenty of snacks and my go to snack right now is Buffalo Chick Dip which is awesome. I will share the recipe in a minute but I must admit that I do get heartburn from it but that doesn’t bother me as long as I have my Nexium 24HR that I get at my local Walmart which is 5 minutes away.

Here is the recipe that I promised:

As a chicken wing loving family we take every opportunity to indulge in the spice and creamy flavors in this dip. This recipe is so versatile and easy to customize to your own taste. Not only can you add more buffalo or hot sauce to kick up the heat you can also prepare in advance for an upcoming event, keep it warm in a mini crockpot for grazing or double the entire recipe for big crowd.

When you have a delicious dish like this that just takes 15 minutes to prepare you’ll be the hit of the party or the afternoon of couch surfing watching sports.

Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip

Ingredients

1 lb cooked chopped chicken (with olive oil,salt, pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic & onion powder and 1/2 cup of favorite wing sauce/hot sauce)
1/2 block softened cream cheese
1/2 cup mayo
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 grated parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (we used a blend of cheddar and mozzarella)

Directions

Add everything to a medium saucepan over low heat and blend till cheeses are melted. This is Ready to Eat. Or transfer to a oven safe dish and back for 15-18 minutes till bubbly.
Serve with veggies, crackers, tortilla chips or toasted pitas.
This is also a great recipe for a make ahead appetizer for that party this weekend. We whip this up often, so often that we get asked to bring this to get-togethers and parties. It’s easy to make, easy to change to accommodate different tastes and most of all it’s delicious.

The good thing is that with Nexium 24HR just 1 pill a day is a simple solution for frequent heartburn so I can eat all the buffalo chicken dip that I want, LOL. In case you don’t know about Nexium 24HR here are a few facts:

Nexium 24HR, the new #1 selling frequent heartburn brand*” *Based on IRI sales data 52 weeks ending 11/1/15 among OTC brands.
All day, all night frequent heartburn protection. May take 1 to 4 days for full effect. Use as directed for 14 days to treat frequent heartburn. Do not take for more than 14 days or more often than every 4 months unless directed by a doctor. Not for immediate relief.
New easy to swallow tablets

Ok, now back to racing. If you have never watched racing you are missing out on the thrill of cars racing at 180 MPH inches from one another. I have been to a few live races and they are definitely better in person as you can hear the cars in all of their glory and see all of the action. Now this is just my opinion as some people can’t tolerate the noise but if you come equipped with ear plugs you are in perfect shape.

For those of you that may want to start watching racing check out the upcoming Duck Commander 500 on April 9th. Also, if you aren’t sure who to cheer for why not Ty Dillion in the Nexium Car. Later this season he will be driving the Advil car which is appropriate because some may have a little headache after going to a race live.

Regardless of the headaches and heartburn I LOVE racing on TV and in person and I don’t miss a single race. I love everything that goes into making a race car go like the pit crew, equipment and the driver. There is alot that goes into racing and I love it all.

Are you into racing? Will you be watching the upcoming Duck Commander 500 on April 9th? Will you be cheering for Ty Dillion like I will be?

Don’t Forget the ‘Other’ Fitness – Mental Fitness

March 17, 2016 by Melissa

When people talk about fitness, they’re almost always referring to things like a low body mass index (BMI), endurance, muscle tone, and overall physical readiness to be at their best. But the other aspect of fitness – mental fitness – can be just as important to your well-being and your ability to perform tasks adequately throughout the day, the week, etc.

We’re all pretty much bombarded with literature, photos, and videos from all kinds of media outlets about how the next great fitness program can sculpt our bodies and make us physical dynamos – but shouldn’t every member of your family be ‘sculpting’ their minds at the same time?

Importance of mental fitness

By mental fitness, we mean to include a person’s emotional, social, and psychological states of well-being, because those factors have a huge impact on how we handle stress, how we relate to people, and how we make important choices in life. Mental fitness affects how people act, think, and feel, so its influence is felt right from childhood on up to old age.

Have you ever tried to make an important decision when you are under severe stress? For instance, when things at work are totally hectic, can you leave it all behind you, and be cool, calm, and collected at home with your family? Could you survive the emotional rollercoaster of separation from your spouse, and having to go through divorce mediation?

Granted, even good mental health might not make you immune to such gut-wrenching ordeals, or sudden, overwhelming trauma like a death in the family, but maintaining a general state of good mental fitness will probably help you cope with most of life’s stresses.

How to stay mentally fit

One of the big supports for good mental fitness is – physical fitness! Being physically active and keeping your body in good shape provides a natural boost to your mental side as well. A healthy body makes for a healthy mind, and that’s the starting point for mental fitness. We humans are social creatures at heart, and we need social interaction to feel good about ourselves. Staying socially involved is another of the rungs on the ladder of mental fitness, and that means participating in events, helping others, discussing significant issues with friends or loved ones, and doing fun things that make us feel good.

Maintaining a positive attitude is a great approach to life, and is much preferred over the opposite point of view, so whenever there are two ways to view an issue, try to find the more agreeable perspective! By making a habit of this, you’ll develop a brighter disposition, rather than being shrouded in darkness. Getting plenty of sleep is another practice that can help you manage your day better, and keep you in a more flexible state of mind; able to cope with whatever indignities you’re faced with each day.

Of course, if you go through a prolonged period of emotional or psychological difficulty, you may not be able to pull yourself out of it on your own. In that case, it’s infinitely better to recognize that fact and seek professional help, rather than to either ignore the problem, or continue fruitlessly to attempt your own salvation.

Physical fitness may get a lot more airplay these days, but to enjoy both healthy body and healthy mind – don’t forget mental fitness!

So Much To See and Do In Florida

March 14, 2016 by Melissa

When people mention holidays in Florida the first thing people think about is Disney and Universal Studio which don’t get me wrong are awesome places to visit but there is so much more to see all throughout the state.

Don’t get me wrong I have been to Disney once and it was a good time but Florida is so large with so many beaches and attractions why limit yourself. My mom and dad go to the Florida Keys every year for an annual fishing trip that they talk about for the entire year until the next year when they go again.

Melinda just went to St Cloud to visit family last month and said there was so much to see and do like shopping at the outlets, going on an airboat tour, do a little ziplining and the list goes on and on. My first question was where is St Cloud located since I have never been. From looking at numerous pictures that Melinda took it looks and sounds like a really nice part of Florida which is located in Central Florida and it is very close to places like Kissimmee and about a 30 minute drive from Orlando.

Florida is perfect to visit anytime of the year but it’s really nice to visit around January/February. Now I mention those months because the weather here on the east coast tends to be in the low teens with a hint of snow here and there but not in Florida. When Melinda was there the weather was in the 80’s and 90’s. It was so warm and humid she had the opportunity to wear her flip flops and shorts something she hadn’t been able to do since last September here.

There is so much to do and see in Florida that it’s a place that you can visit over and over again and never do the same thing twice. I do want to make a trip to the Kennedy Space Center one of these years as I hear that is a really neat place to visit. I also want to visit Daytona and watch the Daytona 500 NASCAR race live. Not sure when we will make it down to Florida but I know Melinda is already chomping at the bit to go back and see here family in St Cloud and the next time she goes I am tagging alone for sure because on her last visit they had a great time with a lot of great food that I missed out on that I won’t let happen again.

Ever been to Florida? If so where and where would you suggest people visit?

Carnival and Carrie Underwood Support Operation Homefront

March 6, 2016 by Melissa

You’ve heard me talk about Carnival Cruise in the past. While they are truly one of the best vacation adventures our family has taken they are also an amazing supporter for communities in need. They recently announced an initiative with Carrie Underwood and Operation Homefront to help raise funds for military families.

During her The Storyteller Tour, Carrie Underwood will treat selected military families, chosen in partnership with Operation Homefront, to personal meet-and-greets 10 different concert appearances. The final stop in the cross-country Honor. Family. Fun. campaign will be New York City, where Carnival, Operation Homefront, and Underwood will treat hundreds of military families to a special concert aboard the new Carnival Vista at the Port of New York on November 4, 2016.

Driving the effort to raise funds for the cause, fans of Underwood, and of the program, will have the opportunity to donate by clicking on the “Donate Now” button on Carnival’s HonorFamilyFun page. Commemorative dog tags will also be available for purchase at merchandise stands at all Storyteller Tour stops as well as on board the fleet of Carnival ships with all proceeds going to Operation Homefront.

In the coming weeks, Carnival will launch a new shipboard military appreciation program. Each ship will host a special event on board to recognize active and retired military personnel and their families and will kick off with a welcome video featuring Carrie Underwood.

Finally, it was also revealed that Carrie Underwood will join the Carnival LIVE! roster of artists in early 2017 with further details to be announced at a later date.

Time To Bust out the Snow Joe Hybrid Snow Blower

February 23, 2016 by Melissa

Snow is one of those things that you either love or hate. I will admit that I LOVE one good snow storm a year then I am good until the next year. This year I was really looking forward to a nice snow storm because I wanted to give my new Snow Joe 18 in 40-Volt Lithium Ion Hybrid Snow Blower a workout which I did.

I want to start off by saying that the snow storm we received dumped about 20 inches. The Snow Joe worked liked a champ as I used it in phases during the snow storm tackling 6-8 inches at a time. I did try to run in through an area that wasn’t touched during the storm and it had some difficulty but like I said we got 20 inches which was crazy. All is all I was really impressed with this snow blower and its performance.

The battery life was pretty good lasting somewhere in the neighborhood of 40ish minutes (didn’t time it exactly) but for my driveway it was more than enough time. You do have the option of plugging the snow blower in during use but to me that is a last resort espeically since it has a nice beefy 40 volt battery.

Like I always do I will list the specs for you tech geeks:

Lightweight design to easily clear sidewalks, driveways and decks
40-Volt 4.0 Ah eco sharp PRO rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 52 minutes of whisper quiet runtime and is compatible with all iON tools
No pull cords, gas, oil, tune-ups, carbon emissions or tangled extension cords
Steel auger with 2 rubber blades moves up to 500 lbs. of snow per minute; cuts a path 18 in. W x 8 in. deep without damaging surface
180° auto-rotate directional chute throws snow up to 20 ft.
3-Watt LED headlight provides increased visibility for nighttime snow removal
Powerful 500-Watt brushless motor increases battery efficiency, maximizes motor performance, decreases noise and vibration and extends motor life
Contains electric capability for unlimited clearing time

The Snow Joe was really easy to use and not overly complicated so I let Shaun use it as well which was nice. I love the battery over gas because all you do is push a button and hold down the safety lever (similar to most lawn mowers) and it was ready for use. No need to fill it with gas and worrying if it would start up or not. I also like the environmental aspect of the battery over gas and its nice not to have to smell oil and gas mixture the entire time you are clearing your driveway.

Overall the Snow Joe is a beast and I am very impressed with its overall performance. When I was asked to give it a try I was a little hesitant due to the battery but that is no longer an issue anymore because that beefy 40 Volt battery was put to the test and out performed my expectations. It retails for $399 which is a really great price considering most gas snow blowers retail north of a $1,000 easily.

Looking for a snow blower that works great for a terrific price? It’s not to late to go buy your own Snow Joe as winter is still upon us.

NASCAR #MonsterMile Is Fun For The Whole Family

September 17, 2015 by Melissa

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Dover International Speedway. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation at the conclusion of the program.

When the weekend rolls around are you and the family always struggling to find family friendly things to do that everyone will enjoy? If you answered YES like we do in our own house you should take a look at the #AAA400 taking place on Sunday October 4th at Dover International Speedway.

I know right now you are thinking that NASCAR isn’t what you would consider a family friendly event but over the years NASCAR has worked very hard to appeal to all ages and to be a more family friendly sport.

Here are a few things taking place at the race on Sunday October 4th that in my opinion would appeal to most if not all families:

Monster FunZone

Time: 10:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
This family friendly environment is full of fun and popular activities that everyone can enjoy!
Located outside of Turn 4
Attractions such as racing simulators, face painting, prize drawings, moon bounces, show car displays, interactive games and rock climbing, and much more!
Please visit this link for additional details:http://goo.gl/IMrxTm

Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest

Official 2016 qualifying event for the annual Fourth of July International Hot Dog-Eating Contest will take place on Sunday at 12:45 in Victory Plaza.

Monster Mile Youth Nation

Please visit this link for additional details:http://goo.gl/VsV3cf

Another awesome selling point on why you need to give NASCAR at try at Dover International Speedway is because tickets for children 14 and under are dirt cheap.

$10 Junior Tickets

Juniors ages 14 and younger can come to a SundayNASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at the Monster Mile for just $10
Junior seating sections are set in all four turns of the one-mile, concrete oval, and include seven alcohol- and tobacco-free sections.

Cars racing 115 miles around a 1 mile oval is enough to get anyone’s blood pumping. Add in that the cars get 4 tires, over 20 gallons of fuel and a few adjustments in under 12 seconds is just mind blowing. The sport is so fast in every aspect it’s hard not to be excited when you are in that atmosphere.

I have been to one NASCAR race before and it was AWESOME!!!! The speed of the race and the fans make it a great afternoon.

If you have liked what you have read I would encourage you to enter for a chance to win tickets to the AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway. Trust me this will be a race that the whole family will enjoy and talk about for a long time.
