Family Fun 30 Great Games: Winter Fun for Wii Recapitulation

March 9, 2010 by

Its been said before, we love our Nintendo Wii. We have well over 30 games and love to add to the collection for those “I’m so bored” days. We’ve been enjoying a new game the last couple weeks, Family Party: 30 Great Games Winter Fun. Especially with the Winter Olympic games recently wrapping up it was fun to watch them on tv and attempt them in a game.


Like most Wii games Family Party: 30 Great Games Winter Fun is played by moving the controllers along with a series of buttons. And like most Wii games there is a learning process. Shaun is our key Wii player so he was the first to play this game. He was initially very frustrated with the different motions and sequences that had to be done to get his character to ski or skate. By the 2nd or 3rd time playing he had all the events covered and it has become one of his go games.

Family Party: 30 Great Games Winter Fun is the latest in the top-selling Family Party franchise, including Family Party: 30 Great Games and iParenting Award winner Family Party: 30 Great Games Outdoor Fun. Winter Fun delivers hours of family entertainment on Wii where players can choose from over a dozen cute characters dressed head-to-toe in customizable winter outfits, and can participate in up to four player action including multiplayer co-op, available for the first time ever in the franchise. Players will be getting in the spirit of playing all-time favorite winter games and competing and unlocking games and challenges to achieve high scores and win medals!

The games we play in our house are safe for the whole family, even for Shae who thinks she’s playing; no violence, no foul language, no sketchy characters. Win 1 of 3 copies of Family Party: 30 Great Games Winter Fun for Nintendo Wii right here at LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! Tell me what other family friendly games you like to play.

Easylunchbox Recap and Giveaway-CLOSED

March 5, 2010 by

Lunch time for me is very important but with me living and working in Delaware during the week it is essential that I pack my lunches when I am home on the weekend. In the past I would make my lunch and pack it in plastic bags that I would throw away after I was done eating. Over time I realized how many plastic bags I was wasting and how harmful it was to the environment and realized I needed to make a change. My change was Easylunchbox.

Easylunchboxes are really cool three compartment containers. Think of Easylunchboxes as a modern day T.V. dinner that you put together yourself so you can make healthy choices. The largest compartment would be used for your main part of the meal then two smaller compartments for sides. Easylunchboxes are made with the highest grade polypropylene plastic (#5), a plastic that does not leach any BPA or Phthalates when heated or cooled. They are dishwasher safe and space savers as they take up very little space in the fridge as well as they can be stored inside one another when not in use.

Easylunchboxes.com was born out of Kelly’s innate ability to do things efficiently while on a shoestring budget, and her desire to send her daughters to school with simple, healthy food, with little to no extra packaging or ingredients. Her past struggle with weight control inspires her to teach and model healthy eating habits for her children, and has fueled her dedication to always send them off to school with a great lunch.

Easylunchboxes has allowed me not only to be efficient when packing my lunch but allows me to eat healthier while at work. I love the three compartments as I usually use the main compartment for my chicken or pasta and the two smaller ones for vegetables. When I was using plastic bags I never packed vegetables for lunch. Easylunchboxes fit perfectly in the lunch bag cooler and still allows enough extra room for an apple and a snack. Easylunchboxes are pretty cheap and you will use them over and over again so no more wasted plastic bags. A set of 4 Containers (4 Lids, 4 Bottoms) are only $13.95 and Colorful Carrying Bag available in black, red, green, purple and light blue are only $7.95.

I am glad that I got the opportunity to analyse Easylunchboxes because they have changed the way I pack and eat lunch.

Now you have a chance to win a container set and one lunch bag (winner can choose color) of your own from Easylunchboxes.  All you have to do is head over to Easylunchbox and tell me one thing that was not mentioned in my article.

March 4, 2010 by

Every baby and child deserves to be wrapped in soft luxurious materials. Anne Geddes allows that with her beautiful selections of apparel and accessories. From Anne’s Baby Clothing and Toddler Clothing to her Signature Women’s Clothing, there is a style to suit everyone. And best of all they are delightfully practical and inspired from Anne’s heart-warming imagery of babies. Choose from One-pieces, Summer Dress & Bloomer Sets, and Sundresses plus much more…

Shae recently received a Lilac Baby Bear Jacket and it’s adorable. A soft and fluffy, gently padded character jacket inspired by Anne’s beautiful images of babies dressed as teddy bears. This bear jacket is made with exquisite attention to detail, right down to the adorable baby bear ears on the hood and the Anne Geddes logo front fastening snaps. I picked a size big enough for next year so she can enjoy the same fluffy softness longer. She already has the Tiger jacket and it has replaced her other coat and become her everyday jacket. It’s warm enough to go to and from the car and quick walks to Shaun’s bus stop but light enough to wear in the car, while shopping and in the stroller.

Shopping on AnneGeddes.com is an adventure. Picking out the sweetest items like plush toys, baby outfits and prints is so much fun.

Win a Baby Bear Jacket, sized 0-5T or Anne Geddes Best-Selling Baby Bunny Suit 0-12 months. Bunny ear detailing on the hat, snug-fitting booties and a soft bunny tail over a softly padded bottom complete the set. Visit Anne Geddes Gift Shop and tell me something else you fell in love with.

Xtrema Cookware Recap

February 25, 2010 by

My family is my world and I would do anything to protect them and that is why we use Xtrema Cookware in our home. Xtrema Ceramic Cookware will leave no trace metals in your food and won’t leach chemicals from the cooking surface.

In 2004 Rich Bergstrom received an e-mail from Peter Hsu a ceramics research engineer/scientist in Taiwan asking if he was interested in a new high temperature ceramic material that could go on top of the stove and under the broiler. After that initial email three additional years of research, testing and product development took place. In February of 2007 Ceramcor, LLC was officially established in Toms River, New Jersey.

Xtrema Cookware currently has three product lines: cookware, teaware and bakeware. These products are so durable the cooking surface can’t be scratched even with metal utensils. If you are anything like me I always scratch our pots and pans because I use a metal spoon or item that I shouldn’t which then ruins the cookware. With Xtrema you no longer have to worry about that happening. Xtrema is also very versatile as it can be used on the stove then can go right into the oven and when done right to the kitchen table to be served but be sure you have something on the table to protect it from the heat. The cookware can withstand 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit so make sure you protect your hands and table.

We were really excited when we received our 10” Braiser and 6 pc Steamer set. I am first going to start by saying if you are looking for cookware that heats up in two seconds Xtrema is not for you. Xtrema is a cookware that you start on medium heat then turn down to low heat to maintain.  This cookware takes time to heat up but let me tell you this it is worth the wait. We have used our braiser and steamer set over a dozen times to make meals like tacos, rice and beans, Italian sausage with onions and red peppers, eggs and breakfast links and they have all turned out terrific. When we first used our braiser and steamer set we had a slight problem. The problem was finding the right heat setting to keep our stove on since it is electric that would maintain the braisers and steamers heat. On the second meal we had it down pat and ever since then no problems at all.

All in all I am extremely impressed with Xtrema cookware. It is durable, looks great and really makes a great meal and maintains the meals heat while eating so you will never have cold seconds. If you are looking for new cookware or to replace your current cookware with an awesome green alternative you need to get Xtrema. You will be happy you did.

Xtrema is awesome and is offering one Look What Mom Found…and Dad too! reader a chance to win a 10″ Open Skillet of their own.  All you have to do it go to Xtrema and tell me one thing you found on their website that was not mentioned in this article.

Keep Cozy With St. Eve Suggestion

February 24, 2010 by

Chillin’ on the sofa or in her little recliner watching Coraline is Shae’s favorite new thing. Another new thing is “warm me up mommy”. I rub her arms she laughs then goes along her way just to come back a couple minutes later. Her Cozy has made these little warming trips a thing of the past. I’ve even found Sabreena using the Cozy while she’s on the computer or doing homework. I admit I’ve worn it a couple times too.

The St. Eve Kid’s Cozy is a fleece blanket with sleeves similar to those seen on TV but this is a vibrant pink and small enough for a little one but big enough to grow into. The Cozy is super soft and works great for watching movies, lounging on the sofa, playing video games, doing homework and even playing with toys. Unfortunately the one we have is pink because Shaun always wants to use it, he’s a cuddler.

St. Eve Kids offers delightfully sweet and totally trendy under garments and pajama sets for boys and girls. The boys’ under garment line features briefs, boxers, and undershirts, while the girls’ collection includes panties, bralets, and camisoles
St. Eve Kids is known for fun quality kids gear and the sweet characters that often adorn their underwear, sleepwear and robes can be found at DramaU.com. Drama.com is a whole new world of playmates and the familiar characters; Molly, Tommy, Tammy, Frankie, Johnny, Tweet, Shirley, Lulu, Peggy, Marky and can make the perfect pals for kids bursting with personality and attitude. Shaun has been loving his Travel Bud, a pillow that unzips to release a soft fleece blanket. Now he just carries that to the basement for movie night and he’s set for comfy cuddling. St. Eve Kids is available at Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, Nordstrom, Bealls, Kohl’s, Sears, and JC Penney.

Tell UDrama what a Saintly Mom you are and win a year’s worth of St. Eve Kid’s sleepwear.  For now just enter here to win a pink Cozy just like Shae’s. Tell me which DramaU character steals your heart.

Alouette Cheese, Transform Dinner With Cheese Ingredient

February 20, 2010 by

Valentine’s weekend was last week but Rob and I celebrated a couple nights in advance. We went to a local restaurant for prime rib and crabcakes where the portions are HUGE. With the help of Alouette we were able to turn cold leftovers into something decadent and inviting.

Alouette is a soft spreadable cheese with added flavors and ingredients like Creamy Onion and Shallot or Garlic and Herbs. The cheese is fantatic just dipped with crackers (I prefer Wheat Thins) and even better slightly melted over a juicy hunk of prime rib or steak. A quick hot sear of our leftover prime rib and a dollop of Alouette Spinach Artichoke spread and the meal was transformed into something completely new.

Don’t be fooled into thinking leftovers is all Alouette is good for. Try any of these unique recipes for a fantastic spin on everyday ingredients.

Beef Tenderloin with Creamy Alouette® Mushroom Sauce
Serves: 2
Ingredients
2 beef tenderloin steaks, 1½ inches thick (6 to 8 oz. each)
3 tsp. extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 tsp. butter
½ large shallot, thinly slivered
2 cups sliced baby Portobello mushrooms
¼ cup Alouette® Garlic and Herbs, or Alouette® Savory Vegetable Spreadable Cheese, or Alouette® Creamy Onion and Shallots Spreadable Cheese
½ cup milk
1 tsp. minced fresh parsley, if desired


Directions
Heat broiler.
Coat all sides of tenderloin with 1 tsp. of the olive oil. Place on broiler pan. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Broil 4 inches from heat for 6 minutes or until well-browned. Turn. Broil 6 to 8 minutes or until desired doneness.
Meanwhile, heat remaining olive oil and the butter in small skillet over medium heat.
Add shallot; cook 1 minute.
Add mushrooms. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently.
Stir in Alouette®, adding milk to desired consistency. Heat just until warm.
Spoon sauce over tenderloins. Sprinkle with parsley.

As you can see many of the flavors complement some of the same ingredients. Don’t be scared to switch beef for chicken and mushrooms for asparagus, adding just a bit of Alouette in any flavor will brighten up any meal.

Alouette makes more than just soft spreadable cheese; check your local grocers for Baby Brie, Crumbled Cheese and others styles of cheese.

Want a chance to try Alouette for yourself? 2 winners will each receive 3 coupons to try FREE Alouette products just visit Alouette and tell me what recipe you would like to experiment with.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for cheesecake. Hmmmm, I don’t think that is how the saying really goes but in this case it does. Cheesecake is one of those desserts most people enjoy every once in a while so when you do finally enjoy a slice you want to make sure it is quality. This is where Eli’s Cheesecake comes in with a huge selection of quality all-natural no preservatives cheesecakes.  They have so many different cheesecakes to choose from that you will be able to find one that will suit your taste.

Eli Schulman was the mastermind behind Eli’s Cheesecake. Hailing from the West Side of Chicago, Eli started two restaurants before hitting the jackpot with his version of cheesecake. In 1977 cheesecake dessert hit the menu at Eli’s the Place for Steak. Following up on a suggestion from a customer about his dessert, Eli spent several weeks coming up with a recipe that would please everyone. Eli’s Cheesecake quickly became a marquee offering at Eli’s the Place for Steak. During the July 4, 1980 Taste of Chicago, Eli made his debut of his now-famous Chicago cheesecake.

When our Candy Crazy Cheesecake Sampler arrived I was pretty excited but nowhere near as excited as my kids. They wanted to know what kind of cheesecake we got, why we got it and when they could start to eat it. Later that night after dinner we finally opened the cheesecake and Shaun, Sabreena, Melinda and I each had a slice. Shaun and Sabreena went right for the chocolate peanut butter while Melinda and I each had a slice of the turtle trio. I am not a huge cheesecake person but I must admit this was a tasty piece of cheesecake. It was creamy, rich and tasted so delicious. Since last Friday I have eaten two pieces of cheesecake and for me that is a lot of cheesecake to eat in a weeks’ time.

If you want cheesecake that will not disappoint and live in Chicago visit Eli’s retail store at 6701 Forest Preserve Drive (at the corner of Forest Preserve Drive and Montrose). If you are like myself and not close to Chicago you can still enjoy a tasty Eli’s Cheesecake all you have to do is go online and have it delivered right to your doorstep. Trust me people you will be glad you did.
