Thingys of the week

I'm a bit behind so here are a few thingys........
I just discovered this lotion last week and WOW it smells good. It kinda makes me want to eat my arm. Tim loves using it too. It goes on smooth and is not greasy. It's very affordable as well.

My next one is a garlic press. This gadget (mine isn't exactly like the one in the picture, but you get the point) has changed my cooking life. I absolutely love fresh garlic in a dish and I hate chopping garlic by hand. This has helped me with that problem. You still get the satisfaction of hitting the garlic with the side of the knife to get the outer wrapper off, but then you just put the bare clove in and it squeezes out all of the garlicky goodness into the pan. Fresh garlic rocks!

My last thingy is actually a tip that has worked to get Cooper to eat carrots. Instead of the little baby carrots I always used to get, I now buy the long "bunny carrots" that I peel myself. Cooper loves them. He gets his "bunny carrot", dips it in ranch then pretends that he is an actual bunny. I've noticed they are even easier for me to eat because they have less water and I think they taste better.

Oh....one more thing. I read the blog Picky Palate (see picture there) and she had the simplest 60 second pizza wrap that I love. You take a whole wheat tortilla, spread Ragu pizza sauce on it(I like traditional), put on turkey pepperoni (or whatever toppings you like) and mozzarella cheese then put it in the microwave for 40 seconds, roll it up and you have yourself a quick pizza lunch. My kids dip it in ranch (of course) and they eat them right up.

OK - I'm done :)
