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
Buffalo Chicken Dip Prepared
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)
Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients
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.

Buffalo Chicken Dip with Cracker

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.

Ty+Dillon+NASCAR+Sprint+Cup+Series+Quicken+cBlu3lqRozUl

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.

If you suffer from heartburn like I do click here for the Nexium 24HR coupon.

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?

 

 




Using Walgreens Mobile App for Health Management

#cbias disclosure#WalgreensRX #shop #cbiasMom, can you get my prescription refilled!

One would think a 17 year old could handle this on their own. In all honesty she could but as the mom of this clan I like to be in control of the family’s health, medication refills and health information.  I currently make all of doctor’s and clinic appointments, administer medications and am overall the at home doctor so it makes sense that I also control the Walgreen’s App on my smartphone.

Managing Health and Wellness #WalgreensRX #cbias #shop

We use Walgreen’s pretty exclusively for all of our pharmacy and drug store needs.  Our primary store is conveniently located with an additional 2 stores within 3 miles of our home.  I can be found there almost any day of the week running errands, picking up toiletries or stocking up on nail polish.

At home I can set up pill reminders so I stay on track with my cold and flu medications.

In the car I can set up auto prescription refills for maintenance drugs anyone in our family is currently using.

On the sidelines of lacrosse practice I can print prescription histories for our Flexible Spending Account reimbursement.

#WalgreensRX Mobile App #cbias #shop

Walgreens makes managing my home easier and more efficient by allowing me to access important information when I need it wherever I am.

Xbox One, Forza Motorsport 5 and M&M’s Under The Tree

I am a member of the Collective Bias®  Social Fabric® Community.  This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and its client.

Shaun loves his Xbox 360 and plays it every single chance he gets so I am really excited for Christmas morning so I can see his face when he opens up his brand spanking new Xbox One and Forza 5.   I must admit that I’m also pretty excited for him to open up his Xbox One so I can hook it up and him and I can play Forza Motorsport 5 together.  Shaun and I have been playing Forza 4 together on the Xbox 360 and I know we are going to love playing Forza 5 together with the new graphics on the Xbox One.

#FueledByMM #cbias #shop

Melinda and I went to our local WalMart last night and picked up Forza Motorsport 5 and while we were there we also picked up a bag of Peanut Butter M&M’s as well as a ton of other stuff.   Shaun loves candy almost as much as he loves Xbox (just like his father, LOL) so we are going to wrap up the M&M’s as well and put them under the tree.  I can see him now on Christmas morning playing his Xbox and eating M&M’s, LOL.  That is what I snack on when gaming or watching TV so who can blame him for wanting the do the same plus it’s Christmas so we’ll give his a pass on eating candy so early in the morning.

Christmas is 10 days away and thank goodness for that because I have been wanting to give Shaun his Xbox One since I picked it up on Black Friday.  Thankfully Melinda stepped in otherwise Shaun would have nothing else to open on Christmas except for his M&M’s, LOL.

Come on Christmas. I am patiently waiting for you but I must admit my patients are wearing thin as I am overly excited for the 25th to arrive.

One cool thing that WalMart is doing is called Buy, Snap and Redeem.  It’s a pretty cool promotion and here are the details:

  • Buy Forza 5 game
  • Buy participating M&M’s products (+ Participating products include: M&Ms Peanut 42oz Stand Up Pouch, M&Ms Milk 42oz Stand Up Pouch, M&Ms Peanut Butter 38oz Stand Up Pouch, M&Ms Pretzel 30oz Stand Up Pouch, M&Ms Peanut 19.2oz Large Laydown Bag, M&Ms Milk 19.2oz Large Laydown Bag, M&Ms Peanut Butter 18.4oz Large Laydown Bag, M&Ms Pretzel 15.4oz Large Laydown Bag.)
  • Snap a photo of qualifying items on the receipt on your phone and text it to 811811
  • Redeem:  You will receive a text back with a reward code valid for a $10 eGift card to Walmart.

I like that Walmart is texting back a $10 eGift card just for buying the game and M&M’s.  I love gaming, M&M’s and we shop at Walmart ALL of the time so to me this is a win win.  I took a picture of my receipt last night showing my purchase of the M&M ‘s as well as Forza Motorsport 5 and I text it over to 811811 and within minutes I received a text back saying that my receipt has been submitted for processing and that I can expect a confirmation text within 48 hours, sweet.

So now I will just sit back and wait for my $10 eGift card for Walmart to arrive.  I am sure that once I do receive it I will just spend it on either more Xbox stuff or more M&M’s either way it’s $10 well spent.

Also be sure to participate in the Pixel Art Instagram competition.

Xbox Video Games Are Better When You Snack With M&M’s

I am a member of the Collective Bias®  Social Fabric® Community.  This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and its client.

Xbox video games like Forza 4 and M&M’s are my weakness so putting them together is just insane and makes for an awesome afternoon of snacking and gaming.

#FueledByMM #shop #cbias

#FueledByMM #shop #cbias

Recently I picked up Forza 4 for Xbox which is an awesome driving game along with a HUGE (42oz) bag of peanut M&M’s.  Let me start by saying that after buying the game and M&M’s I couldn’t get home fast enough to open both of my purchases and get my gaming started.  Forza 4 is a game that I can see playing for a long time due to all of the different levels and challenges within the game.   I played Forza 4 for a good two to three hours Saturday afternoon and also put a hurting on the M&M’s.  Thankfully the kids and Melinda had some peanut M&M’s as well because they are one of my weaknesses and I could have eaten the whole bag by myself.  Like I said I played for two to three hours and didn’t even scratch the surface when it comes to cars and tracks but I am looking forward to getting some more free time this weekend and playing again and hopefully upgrading my car and getting some race time on more awesome tracks.

Nice selction of M&M's #FueledByMM #shop #cbias

I told Melinda that once I get a hang of Forza 4 and finish the game I want to move onto Forza 5 for Xbox One.  I don’t have an Xbox One but I would buy one just to play Forza 5, LOL, that is just the kind of gamer I am.  When I find a game that I really like playing I will continue to buy and play every game in that series and now that I am hooked on Forza 4 I will continue to play every Forza game that is released in the series.

I just saw a cool promotion that Walmart is going to be offering starting November 22nd when you buy Forza 5 and M&M’s called Buy, Snap, Redeem.  Here are the details:

  • Buy Forza 5 game
  • Buy participating M&M’s products (+ Participating products include: M&Ms Peanut 42oz Stand Up Pouch, M&Ms Milk 42oz Stand Up Pouch, M&Ms Peanut Butter 38oz Stand Up Pouch, M&Ms Pretzel 30oz Stand Up Pouch, M&Ms Peanut 19.2oz Large Laydown Bag, M&Ms Milk 19.2oz Large Laydown Bag, M&Ms Peanut Butter 18.4oz Large Laydown Bag, M&Ms Pretzel 15.4oz Large Laydown Bag.)
  • Snap a photo of qualifying items on the receipt on your phone and text it to 811811
  • Redeem:  You will receive a text back with a reward code valid for a $10 eGift card to Walmart.

I like that Walmart is texting back a $10 eGift card just for buying the game and M&M’s.  I love gaming, M&M’s and we shop at Walmart ALL of the time so to me this is a win win.

Christmas is a little over a month away and if you have a gamer on your list who loves driving games you need to check out Forza 4 as well as Forza 5.  You would be the best gift giver this holiday season.

Also be sure to participate in the Pixel Art Instagram competition.

In order to participate, create your own Pixel Art using M&M’s (R) candies and snap an Instagram Photo.   It should be video game and/or racing inspired to celebrate the launch of the new game Forza 5 (think your favorite characters, race cars, car logos, game symbols, weapons, gaming systems etc). Be creative and have fun!

Unlimited Plans Rock During Football Season

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client.

#FamilyMobileSaves #cbias #shop

When people use to tell me about their cheap wireless plan I always thought that cheap meant unreliable but after using Walmart Family Mobile for the last month I no longer believe that.

I have been using the Samsung S4 on #FamilyMobileSaves with Walmart Family Mobile and I have to admit that no contract service is just as if not more reliable than my current provider.  Phone activation was super simple and you can manage your account online just like you would with a contract phone.  To be honest other than the contract I see NO difference what so ever between contract and non contract phones.  At first I was a little concerned since I started using the no contract service during football season which is extremely important to me but so far no problems at all. I have had no dropped calls and the data speed rocks so I haven’t missed a beat at all especially when it comes to my fantasy football teams.

#FamilyMobileSaves, #cbias

Football season is the time when I am on my phone the most.  I am typically always on my phone (LOL)  but during football season I tend to kick it up a notch and that has a lot to do with fantasy football.  I love having real time scores at my fingertips at all times and real time stats especially since I am in three different fantasy leagues.  I am so ridiculous when it comes to football that I keep one page on my phone dedicated to apps that I use most during the football season.  I know to some fantasy football seems silly but playing in these leagues allows me to be more into games that I would otherwise not really care about.  Plus two of the leagues I am in are for money so that adds more pressure to the mix but who doesn’t like to win money based on how others play, LOL.

So like I said I am a month in using #FamilyMobileSaves with Walmart Family Mobile and I am extremely impressed.  Great service, awesome prices and their phone selection rocks.  I can’t ask for anything more than what I have experienced over the last month so if your current provider is bleeding you dry take a look at Walmart Family Mobile.  I think you will be happy with what you discover like I was.

On The Hunt For The Lowest Price Rate Plan

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client.

It’s hard to imagine every day life without my smartphone because it seems to be attached to my hand every waking moment. I can remember my very first mobile phone which was a bag phone when I was in college back in 1992 (yes I know I am old).  I would only use my phone to make emergency phone calls due to how expensive it was considering back then there wasn’t a thing such as unlimited plans like there is today.

I also remember being locked into what I thought was an iron clad contract back then but these

#FamilyMobileSaves #cbias #shop

days companies are offering contract as well as no contract phones.  We are currently with Verizon and have three smart phones and each phone is locked into a 2 year contract.  I have been with Verizon so long I am just used to the contract but I am seeing a lot of companies offering no contract phones like ##FamilyMobileSaves with Walmart Family Mobile. After realizing that our cell phone bill on a monthly basis is just way to much money I decided it was time to start hunting for a cheap wireless plan and see if I could save a few bucks a month.

#FamilyMobileSaves, #cbias #shop

While Melinda and I were at Walmart this past week picking up some odds and ends I noticed the no contract phones back in the entertainment section of the store.  I will admit that I was in total overload from all of the different options and rate plans that were available to choose from.  The one display that caught my eye was Walmart Family Mobile due to their phone selection, cheap wireless plans and phone pricing.  I am HUGE into technology so when I decide to go no contract I want a phone that is new and fresh and with Walmart Family Mobile they offer the Samsung Galaxy S2, S3, S4 as well as the iPhone 5.  They offer other phones as well but I am a Samsung fan and I currently have the Note 2 so when I make the switch I want to stick with Samsung so I will be getting the Galaxy S4.

#FamilyMobileSaves, #cbias #shop

Walmart Family Mobile offers two unlimited plans from what I saw.  The first was $29.88 for unlimited talk and text and $39.88 for unlimited talk, text and web.  Also you can mix and match up to five lines and when you do the price of those additional likes goes to $24.88 for unlimited talk and text and $34.88 for unlimited talk, text and web.  They also offer online account management and information where you can add additional lines, pay your bill and much more.  The one thing that you need to know and remember is that for no contract plans you need to purchase the phone out right.  For me this is no problem because what I will be saving on a monthly basis will pay for the phone is about two to three months so for me this is a win win situation.

#FamilyMobileSaves, #cbias #shop

Like I mentioned earlier my phone is attached it my hands like glue and especially now since it’s football season.   I am in two fantasy football leagues so I am on my phone non-stop checking games, player stats and how I am doing against my opponent each week so I need a phone and plan that aren’t going to let me down.

I was a little concerned at first about switching now especially during football season to a no contract plan but after doing my research I have nothing to fear.  I am actually sorry that I didn’t check into this earlier so I could have been saving cash all alone but live and learn I guess.

Also, be sure to check out my Google+ album detailing my Walmart Family Mobile journey.

 

 




Give a Child a Shot When You Get a Shot #walgreens #giveashot #cbias #shop

disclose #cbias #shopFor the past week and half I’ve been battling a cold. The kids have been back in school less than a month. Coincidence? I think not.

As a mom to 3 kids in school and activities I worry about germs and illness all the time. I encourage hand washing, not sharing personal items, keeping hands to themselves and of course stay on top of immunizations. What I do forget about sometimes is myself. I move along handling all of the kids materials, book bags and lunchboxes not thinking twice about where they’ve been all day.  Now today I walk around the house hacking up a lung and sniffling as if my breathing depends on it, well because it does.

Staying on top of everyday health and wellness is important but so are staying up to date on vaccinations. Have you ever taken a closer look at the Healthcare Clinic at your local Walgreens?  Immunizations such as the flu shot, pneumonia and shingles vaccine are available for walk ins, no appointment necessary.

walgreens #giveashot #cbias #shot

Immunization is one of the world’s biggest public health success stories. Yet, 1 in 5 children still lack access to the lifesaving immunizations that help keep children in the U.S. healthy. Coordinated worldwide vaccination efforts have made significant progress, particularly in reducing cases of measles and polio.

Walgreens #GiveaShot #cbias #shop

Walgreens is stepping up with their Get a Shot Give a Shot program by offering not only easy access to adult immunizations but Now through October 14th, when you get a flu shot or any other immunization at Walgreens or Healthcare Clinic, we’ll help provide a life-saving vaccine through the United Nations Foundation’s Shot@Life Campaign.

Shot@Life educates, connects and empowers Americans to champion vaccines as one of the most cost-effective ways to save the lives of children in developing countries. A national call to action for a global cause, the campaign rallies the American public, members of Congress, and civil society partners around the fact that together, we can save a child’s life every 20 seconds by expanding access to vaccines. By encouraging Americans to learn about, advocate for, and donate to vaccines, Shot@Life aims to decrease vaccine-preventable childhood deaths and give every child a shot at a healthy life.

I'm giving a child a shot@life #giveashot #cbias #shop

There is no appointment necessary and most insurance plans are accepted making this an effortless step towards giving a child a shot at a future. The Shot@life program empowers Americans to help children in underdeveloped countries gain access to disease preventable vaccines.

Visit your local Walgreens Healthcare Clinic or Pharmacy for more information about the health services, immunizations and rewards programs they offer to your community. See how we maneuvered through out Walgreens shopping trip to learn more.

#ad Tyson Project A+ Program plus Chicken Parm Pockets #Recipe #Clip4School #CBias

I’m the type if mom that plans out the family meals for the week to include  homemade mashed potatoes & mac and cheese and made from scratch pizza dough. I like being able to prepare balanced meals that everyone will enjoy.  But that doesn’t mean I’m not the first to admit I rely in some cheats to get me through a busy week.

Tyson is definitely one of our go-to brands for convenience foods for these exact moments.  Another reason I’m stocking up on Tyson favorites right now is the introduction of their Project A+ program for schools.

The Tyson Project A+ program is one of the simplest ways to support your school. Just clip and redeem Tyson Project A+ labels from packages of Tyson® products. For every label we receive, we’ll give your school 24¢ – and your school can use the money for whatever it needs.

Tyson Foods Project A+ program

These funds can be used school trips, school supplies, musical instruments, athletic gear and more.  Schools everyday are faced with budget cuts and the decision on what academic or extracurricular activity is going to have to suffer.  Getting started is simple.  Register your school, assign or volunteer as the administrator for the program and educate the families to clip and save the labels to cash in for CASH.  Set goals, make it a competition, spread the word, engage the families. Do whatever it takes to #Clip4School.

Tyson Foods is stepping up and giving schools and their communities the chance to make a difference by doing what they already do, shop for groceries to feed their families.

My grocery list usually consists of the things we need to get through the week but I like to toss in some “just in case” items such as Chicken Nuggets, Chicken Fries or Chicken Wings in case our dinner plans have gone awry.

I used Tyson Foods Crispy Chicken Strips for a new meal idea, a twist on Chicken Parmesan.

Tyson Foods Crispy Chicken Strips #Clip4School

Chicken Parmesan Pockets #cbias #clip4school

Chicken Parmesan Pockets

  • Crispy Chicken Strips (25oz package)
  • 2 tubes of refrigerated Pizza Dough
  • Italian Blend Shredded Cheese
  • Pasta or Pizza Sauce

Chicken Parmesan Pockets #cbias #clip4school

Start by cooking chicken strips according to package directions.  Divide each pizza dough into 6 pieces and roll out into 6×8″ rectangles.

Chop cooked chicken into bite size pieces place a small handful on each rectangle of dough and top with sauce and cheese.

Pull up the corners to the top and press edges onto each other to seal closed.

Bake for 12-18 minutes until golden brown.  Serve with extra sauce and veggies for a balanced meal.

Modify this recipe to suit your family’s tastes by adding roasted red peppers, chunk mozzarella, spicy  marinara or Tyson Food Grilled Chicken Strips instead.

What meals can you change up just by using one of Tyson Foods many many wholesome choices?




Pepperoni Pizza Puffs #recipe with Tyson Foods #WhatsYourTopping #CBias

I am a member of the Collective Bias®  Social Fabric® Community.  This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client.

Cooking is my job. While Rob is usually on weekend breakfast duty the bulk of the dinners and planning is my responsibility. I like to plan out what is going on for the week so that all ingredients are on hand. This week since the kids are on summer vacation I planned a couple meal solutions besides sandwiches. One of them was Pepperoni Puffs. This muffin shaped fluffy bite is a treat for Shaun and Rob and they can often be found in lunch boxes year round.

Pepperoni Puffs #whatsyourtopping #cbias

Using Tyson Foods Diced Pepperoni has never crossed my mind. In fact I had never heard of it before until I was sent to Walmart to shop for it.

Our Walmart is a one stop shopping center. We go there for everything; groceries, household items, sheets, toys and games and more. Shopping for Tyson Foods Diced Pepperoni I thought was going to be easy but finding it turned into an adventure. I stood in the Meats section looking around with no success. I had to ask an employee. We both located the diced bacon (which I also bought) but it took some digging to find the Pepperoni. Finally! On the top shelf, fallen over in a black box we found them. Not an ideal spot for such a great brand I thought. Luckily I bought 2 because when I went back 2 more times there was none to be found on the shelves.
Shopping Walmart #whatsyourtopping #cbias
Tyson Foods #whatsyourtopping #cbias

When making the Pepperoni Puffs I snuck a few bites of diced pepperoni and was surprised at the level of spice. This is how I like my pepperoni. The first bag we used was gone in a day or two. It was used for a pizza topping and for pizza quesadillas. We use a ton of sandwich pepperoni in our house so I see having this on hand regularly for adding spice and flavor to a ton of different recipes.
The puff recipe is something I found somewhere online and doctored to suit our tastes. It can easily be adapted to house sausage, bacon or even chicken.

Sandwiches and salads can get boring so this is a tasty alternative




Mohawk #LicensetoSpill Tour Philadelphia #cbias

This past weekend I was invited to visit the 9th Street Italian Market Festival. The Italian Market in Philadelphia is the nation’s largest outdoor market. On any given day your senses will be assaulted by the rainbow of colorful produce, the scent of baked goods and coffee and the variety of fresh seafood and meats at the butcher shops.

The Italian Market Festival is a gathering of the entire community to celebrate with music, food, shopping and crafts. We were able to be an Italian for a day with food from Chef Peter McAndrews of Paesanos and pastries from Isgro Pasticceria.

This is also a spot for brands to show off some of their newest and best products to the thousands of people walking by. Mohawk Flooring, #LicensetoSpill tour was in attendance to share their newest technology, SmartStrand® carpet flooring. Chip Wade from HGTV’s Elbow Room was on hand to show off the beauty of design of the carpet.

SmartStrand® has permanent stain and soil resistance without the addition of treatments or aftermarket barriers. We watched as children were allowed to spray a carpet remnant with soy sauce and fruit drinks and the stains were removed with water. Plain, room temperature water brought back a tan carpet back to it’s original color.

Dirty Carpet #licensetospill MohwawkFlooring #cbiasCleaning Carpet, #licensetospill Mohawk Flooring

In our own homes a spray bottle isn’t going to get our entire home clean. A carpet cleaner with warm water and mild soap (like dish soap) is all that’s needed to get out surface dirt, spills and soil.

Not only is it easy to clean and maintain but it’s eco friendly, Dupont Sorona. SmartStrand® is produced using renewable sources, reducing our dependence on energy for production and manufacturing. This makes choosing SmartStrand® flooring a great choice all around.
