Consumer Cafe: Crock Pot Smothered Chicken

April 5th, 2013

This has become my husband’s new favorite dinner. It is SOOOOO easy, quick, and delicious!

Crock Pot Smothered Chicken

4 each chicken breasts, boneless (I actually use eight thin cut chicken breasts, still plenty of sauce)

1 jar of sliced mushrooms

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 can french onion soup

Mix the soup and the mushrooms together and pour over the chicken breasts.  Cook on low for six hours.

Glam Alert: Korres Wild Rose + Vitamin C Advanced Brightening Sleeping Facial

April 4th, 2013

I visited Sephora recently, and asked my sales clerk what the latest, greatest magic potion was, and she told me I should try the Korres Wild Rose + Vitamin C Advanced Brightening Sleeping Facial. Boy, that’s a mouthful! You know me; I’m game for anything. It comes in a very small jar (1.35 ounces). I have been using for several weeks and haven’t even put a dent in it.  It takes a very small amount to fully cover your face and neck. I really haven’t noticed any brightening, or lightening of the age spots yet (and yes, I have them) but I do love the way my skin feels. It feels just as soft as it does after I spend $100 on a professional facial. And it stays that way. I love the smell, it reminds me of my mother.

From Korres:

This overnight facial-in-a-jar is a breakthrough in beauty sleep. More than a mask, more than a night cream, it contains the Korres Phos Compound, a proprietary blend including a brightening agent and stabilized vitamin C. Day after day, week after week, uneven tone and dark spots will continuously improve. After only 14 days you’ll see skin that’s brighter, more even-toned, and exceptionally radiant.

It’s $48 for the jar, and you know how I feel about not spending a lot on lotions and potions, but I do think this one is worth the price. This is my first Korres product, and I will definitely be checking out their line to see what else they have to offer in skin care.

Starbucks Syrups

April 2nd, 2013

If you love Starbucks, like I love Starbucks, you will love this tidbit of information, if you don’t already know it. You can purchase these huge bottles of Starbucks syrups for $10 from your local Starbucks store, or starbucksstore.com. The one liter bottle will last you forever because you only need about a teaspoon per cup. If you have ever tried the Torani brand of syrups you can pick up at your local supermarket and been disappointed because they are not as good as Starbucks, trust me, Starbucks syrups are as good as Starbucks. It is the same syrup they use to make your yummy coffees.

Be sure and ask for the pump, because the syrup sticks to the lid and makes it very difficult to open! My favorite flavor is Toffee Nut. Years ago it was carried on the menu, but they took it off. However, they still have it so you can order a Toffee Nut Latte at Starbucks too, and trust me, you should try it! It’s my favorite. And it’s one of those little inside things only the cool kids know.

A great gift to give a coffee lover is a Starbucks gift card.  Even better gift would be a Starbucks gift card and one of their syrups.  All of the sugar free flavors you can order at Starbucks are also available to purchase.
